he is a professional opinion haver though I'm not sure who actually pays him. his job is to make fascists go "see, even the leftist Michael Tracey agrees with me!"

can you all shut the gently caress up about whether you'd rather have covid or hiv jfc

the simple fact is, it’s more survivable to be in a plane crash than catch COVID

lol this guy's a pastor, what's his angle


competition to be The Cool Pastor Who Gets It is fierce. dressing like a 90s rocker no longer cuts it. the new frontier: saying Jesus is gay (and that’s bad)

hey now, he enlisted in the US National Guard and served 3.5 years in a combat zone (Iraq) as a communications guy, a forward observer, a doctor(!) and also as a staff officer for SOCOM, CENTCOM and EUCOM!! don't look too hard at any of that, BUY ALL HIS BOOKS

I was like “sure, sure, possible he was out with the FOs, wtf, wtf, lmao” in that order. If he just stopped at “I was a radio operator” he’d be fine. why do guys not just stop there

the good news about landfills is future generations will be mining them for the vast amounts of complex hydrocarbons and refined metals stored in them!

I really liked the Culture book about the conflict between the people who made hell real via AI versus the people who thought creating AI beings to be tortured eternally was bad. the main villain was basically space South African. ripped from the headlines.

diagonalism as I understand it:

1. all power is conspiracy, no existing power structure is legitimate
2. the government is always lying
3. your intuitive understanding of the world is superior to what any expert you don’t agree with says.


3 is dicey but 1 and 2 are mostly correct.

Put another way believing the opposite of those three just makes people completely regular democrats. who have been, are, and will continue to be wrong about most elements of government and economic policy at the cost of tens of millions of lives and untold suffering.

how do you get from 1 and 2 to “they’re going to send out a signal on everyone’s phone on October 4th that activates the nanites that will control everyone who got vaccinated” though?


I don’t, so consequently I don’t see it as a very useful framework to identify bad beliefs.

more than that, since there’s no board or shareholders who can replace him if he doesn’t want them to. he’s more like a sole proprietor or the head of a messy, old family business

there’s a “board” called the roman curia and while they can’t fire the pope, they can murder him and get away with it

For added context Tyler Cowen is one of the dumbest columnists in American media. Just pig ignorant on everything and with maximum arrogance and not even in an original way.

I had no idea how much I was reading stuff via nitter until it died. Now I notice how little I have to read on my phone. I guess I’ll subscribe to a newspaper or magazine or something? sucks.

um, guy paid to say the army is good here. Actually, it’s very hurtful to say the Vietnam War involved murder
