i'm pro-automation but with the caveat that it's eventually socialized to avoid the labor tragedies of the industrial revolution from repeating themselves

the people who take rand as gospel are autistic sociopaths with a minimal understanding of both history and social theory ime

if i praise socialism it's not because i love socialism or anything (generally, i don't think it works on a national level. there are ways around this involving decentralization but that takes time and a well-educated and politically moderate admin team) but because it's just a dialectical matter of necessity. the labor exploitation grindset has just become so prevalent that it's practically invisible to the people living within it, like what water must be to a fish

and with the only real tools out of modernity's atomic blast zone wasteland (the post-structuralist lens, critical theory) being de facto banned by this new administration('s backers) it's becoming a dire matter. once the LLM layoffs start rolling in there will be riots; the dream comes to an abrupt end, and these unemployed people will now be facing a hostile, deracinated reality with little real place for them, despite their necessity to the health of the socius

when even the clergy of the Catholic church's first estate are decrying economic abuses through consensus, you know you've got a real issue on your hands

identifying and analyzing genes and their many expressions doesn't denigrate your appreciation of a bearer of said genes as life or as a human; if anything it helps you to appreciate the uniqueness and vast qualities of humanity and creation in general

you have a real issue with charitableness
