'centrist purity' is probably the most brain damaged concept ive heard in a while.

QE working as intended. Giving money to rich people so they can pump their assets and debt enslave the rest.

Shame they had to call it a basilisk. I always thought comp.basilisk was a more interesting application of the concept (besides being fiction and not a stone-cold serious cult in the making).

nope it has to do with some bullshit involving increasing your mental acuity by reducing the number of choices you need to spend mental resources on deciding early in the day

It's part of the guiding tech philosophy that dictates everything should have only one button that you do everything with and as little flexibility as possible, and the ideal GUI should be stylized, flat and mostly gray on a gray background with anything resembling complexity hidden off-screen somewhere with some secret magic gesture to get at it. Not quite minimalism, more like bland obfuscation having the appearance of minimalism. Zuck just applied it to his wardrobe and apparently, everything else about himself.
