I like Einstein and Socialism! But Einstein's opinion on politics, while interesting, carries no special weight. On matters of mathematics and physics Einstein carries the authority of his knowledge. On matters of politics he's just another dude.

Doors close and options narrow. The way you think about the future fundamentally changes.

The Monroe Doctrine was a 19th and 20th century through-line where America intervened militarily in Mexico and South America.

The biggest difference between then and now is that the Monroe Doctrine was supposed be the US 'protecting' this hemisphere from European Colonialism, and Trump hasn't bothered to lie about his motivation.

This was, is, and always will be an American colonial project.

This might not be feasible. IDK how you could install a whole OS, inside of another, without looking like a serious virus or malware.

Everybody forgets this. The time when "a single income could provide housing, transportation, and collage for a family of four" only existed for white men. Thinking this was universal is just lefty false nostalgia nauseatingly similar to MAGA.

M$ has done more to convince people that AI is bullshit than anyone else and I just want to thank them for their hard work.

Some of the first real home/office PCs had only one floppy drive and 640kb of RAM. Fancier machines had a second floppy. If you were a millionaire, you could get a HDD with upwards of 30Mb storage.

LLMs are by far the best way to retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct)

We already have proof that this is a popular feature for users since its been integrated in every mobile phone for the past 10 years.

you've obviously retrieved your thinking in the best possible way, by far.

One step at a time. Maybe we stop using tax dollars to cause child starvation before we ease into preventing child starvation.
