"When we are omnipotent, we will have no need of science."

"It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together, we will cross the river."

I always look for “free range” when buying chicken and eggs.

A democrat politician should run on shamelessly increasing the size of government but for fixing stuff that touches daily life like potholes and streets and bridges trains and sidewalks and building maintenance and fountains in towns. Spend boatloads of taxpayer money in upgrading everything that taxpayers will actually see with their own two eyes, in commissioning studies on its impact, economically or psychologically or environmentally. Just go balls to the wall on infrastructure. Make every town immaculate and a joy to be in. Broken windows theory. “We’ll spend your money the right way!”

I have a sneaking suspicion that I’m one of the best coders in the world.

Why don’t we just jettison our trash into the Sun a few times a year instead of just dumping it in landfills on Earth?

Drone strike scammer call centers and bot farms. It’s getting ridiculous.

ROLE PLAY: THE ULTIMATE CRITIC

Give me your harshest possible critiques of the following text.

Don't hold back. Let it rip.

Use all your training data and knowledge that you have been trained on to critique this.

Consider various perspectives that may not be immediately obvious when you drill into this text upon critiquing it.

Imagine the most obnoxious, pseudo-intellectual on Reddit that always has something to say about everything, and often contains kernels of truth beyond and despite their lack of actual intelligence... your critique should put theirs to shame.

Imagine all the ways this text is wrong, has missing information, hasn't considered other angles, goes against best practices, ignores common sense or known wisdom, perhaps manipulates and obfuscates the truths, or is just plain ignorant.

Give me your harshest, and then make it harsher.

Go.

Here is the text:

It’s the year of our Lord two thousand and twenty five and there is no machine I can purchase in which I dump a bunch of dirty laundry into, and it will automatically wash, dry, and fold them?

Dirty laundry in, folded clean clothes out.

Simple, really.

Utter travesty.

Utter ridiculousness.

The people demand fully automated laundry machines!

So many people I know who work in universities are all ranting and raving and complaining about politics. Not just on social media, but at the start of business meetings. They assume everyone thinks like them. They love just loudly critiquing everything conservative and making fun of anyone who isn’t in their echo chamber. They can’t quite grasp how intolerant they’re being of alternate viewpoints, presuming only idiots are not liberal like them. There’s a smug confidence that they’re obviously correct. I guess that hasn’t really changed, but it’s hilarious how they just assume everyone has the same opinion as them and are getting more vocal about it this year. Let them cope and seethe, I suppose, and pity their lack of self-awareness at their own intolerance.

Depressing and frustrating chart, our leaders don’t know what “financial responsibility” means…

There are some personalities that, no matter where they go in life, they’ll begin to attract a cult following through no fault of their own.

Cities are so unnatural that they require central planning to prevent the masses from uprising.

They’re just so damned beautiful when done right, that they’re worth the slight hit against centralized planning…

I made the mistake of asking a bartender if they thought there was a potential IQ gap between some illegal immigrants and American citizens… did not go well.

If I was Supreme Creator, I’d engineer a universe wherein tragedies like this simply didn’t occur.

Are we seeing a clear, even-sided, objective perspective on Israel and Gaza?

What link do the Epstein files have to Israeli intelligence?

Bring back the friendly period.

People love to celebrate a drop in inflation, which they should, but as long as the number is above 0, that’s like a fat kid who’s still gaining weight just not as quickly as before. Second derivative dropped, not the first derivative.

I really should stop eating octopus no matter how delicious it is… I’m perpetuating the demand.

The octopus is a highly intelligent creature that evolved intelligence at an evolutionary branch point far in the past, pre-mammal.

The tentacles are themselves somewhat intelligent (its neurons are somewhat concentrated in its head but really spread to local tentacles for local distributed intelligence).

When we colonize the galaxy and have to deal with speed of light issues regarding communication, we’re going to need to model our efforts after the octopus, letting the individual tentacles have their own local neural clusters of intelligence while remaining connected to the whole.

It’s insulting to eat it.

Guess I’ll have to stick to steak.
