EVERYTHING about #voting in the US was already SO, SO screwed:

that there was only ONE thing they could do to make it even worse.

And (IF the title is right) now they can prepare to do just that:

"It is as if the exhaustion of the Earth’s resources signalled the exhaustion of the resources of the political narrative."

"as if"

"When people born after 1990 are in [BIG] debt, where do they find mood for #dating [& spending too]?"

GREAT PROOF (1) that even #china would benefit from resetting #money, #debt and going #UBI as I recently proposed:

"#WWII weapons, which have killed hundreds of people who have come into accidental contact with them in the past, are now corroded."

"Their casings are breaking apart and releasing carcinogens into the seas."

Trust Americans to always notice #innovation first, and "horrific" second

TTLDR: #climateChange does gerrymandering

TLDR:

"There’s no way the US Congresspeople won't become LESS representatives of their constituencies every year quicker, bc Census cannot keep up with the rapid population shifts that are already happening"

Max's advice to biographers:

"Get some training in computer forensics before you start your research"

https://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2013/09/04/216144853/for-biographers-the-past-is-an-open-electronic-book

MY advice: right, but first make EVERYBODY read this:

https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/ever-wondered-why-we-are-in-a-digital

"Our fear of AI’s potential is emblematic of humanity’s larger difficulty recognizing intelligence in unfamiliar guises."

Or, maybe, we fear being screwed by the few who CONTROL AI

Just maybe

https://www.noemamag.com/why-we-fear-diverse-intelligence-like-ai/

"why is there so little about this in the news? Both @guardian & @repubblica bury any env news after the sports section. @nytimes gives less space to... devastating species loss, deforestation, starvation than they to recipes"

https://thesubversivefarmer.net/blog/we-really-need-a-plan

#climatechange

"#OpenAI in its current form is untenable. There is no path to profitability,... #genAI needs to much energy..."

https://www.wheresyoured.at/to-serve-altman/

GREAT! So we can dump that crap, and focus on disrupting the ONLY things that REALLY need it first, aka #money & #DEBT:

https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/there-is-only-one-thing-that-really

#AI for #UBI, not the opposite !!!

First reactions to my call for a world with #UBI, without #DEBT , #GDP, ridiculous #growth and tamed #corporations are positive.

What are yours?

2010, when we believed that #Facebook could bring #peace:

"it is striking to realize that peace becomes plausible when barriers to communication are eliminated"

AND

"Might #Palestine youth feel similarly?"
