The least confrontational talk show host in the world asked him about how this might be happening, and he just stuttered a bunch then moved on. Millions of people will be convinced this is reality anyway.

“We’ve arranged a society on science and technology in which
nobody understands anything about science and technology, and
this combustible mixture of ignorance and power sooner or later is
going to blow up in our faces. I mean, who is running the science and
technology in a democracy if the people don’t know anything about
it? Science is more than a body of knowledge, it’s a way of thinking. If
we are not able to ask skeptical questions to interrogate those who tell
us something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then we’re
up for grabs for the next charlatan political or religious leader who
comes ambling along. It’s a thing that Jefferson lay great stress on.
It wasn’t enough, he said, to enshrine some rights in the Constitution
and the Bill of Rights, the people had to be educated and they have to
practice their skepticism and their education. Otherwise, we don’t run
the government, the government runs us.

my god. it's full of posts

quote:

Reflecting on it, the reason I think the OceanGate situation has become such a flashpoint for anger is because it's such a perfect microcosm of the problem with everything right now. Decisions are not made based on safety, reasonable caution, or concern for human life. Every decision is instead made from a default assumption of 'what if the bad thing just DIDN'T happen?' We are given pie-in-the-sky promises and sizzle reels and an endless PR hype-cycle for every new innovation and inevitably it fails to work, harms people, and then is maybe barely apologized for before the next bad idea comes down the pike. OceanGate's underengineered, undercooked, doomed submarine isn't merely a metaphor for the hubris of the wealthy, it is a scale model of the way the wealthy dictate our reality. All consequences can be ignored, all blowback can be forestalled, let the end-user eat the cost.

I am not angry because the submarine was badly-made. I am angry because I live in a vastly larger pressure vessel being managed and maintained by the exact same people.

The source of the video is here, which RFK Jr. is complaining about being quoted from because it was off the record. Some of his other dumb poo poo was from Rogan, not this one.

Lol spoiled friend of a friend who already makes her doctor husband commute from WA to MN and sends postcards with pictures of their kids to homeowners with nicer places trying to guilt them into selling (they already have a great house but apparently it isn’t good enough?) has begun going outside to yell at utility workers making routine repairs to thwart the installation of brain melting 5G networks. Probably an RFK Jr. supporter.

That is some brain-melting loving babel right there, Jesus Christ.

One of my coworkers came up and started a conversation about RFK on break, for some horrible reason, when he got to the words "conspiracy theories" some other dude I don't know decided to inform us that all the COVID bioengineering bullshit is actually very true. I put my cigarette out and hosed off and let my buddy listen to that poo poo since he started it.

E: I left at the part where random dude made sure to let us know he hates RFK for being a Democrat, and he didn't vote for DJT "but he ended up being a great president".

I'm not at all aware of anything coming out of the DC / Jan 6th stuff yet. Last time I said that though, Donnie was indicted a week later, right around the time news organizations suddenly found out there was a Grand Jury in Florida.

Last I've seen, Kushner got called to testify to the J6 Grand Jury and was asked poo poo about Donnie's state of mind, like if he ever said he knew he lost the election. The intent requirement on J6-related charges for someone like Donnie is super high, so who even knows if they get to that point or not.

But a call-out of the Insurrection Act is very weird, as it hasn't been a discussion lately, I think. Possible that some rando on Newsmax or Fox News might've been talking about it.
