The one Point he was not missed was when he was seen Turning to the left.
- Comment on Capitalism isn't the problem, THIS is the problem, and I've watched it roll over us for 40 years. [3 min. video] 3 days ago:
Economics, as an intellectual discipline, is closer to theology than physics. Much like religion being arbitrary rules cherry picked from schizophrenic Bronze Age fan fiction, current economic models are built as narratives manufactured to justify the existence, position, and legitimacy of a ruling class. Finance is merely mythology shrouded in enough mathematic formulas provide the appearance of a natural, universal legitimacy.
Capitalism is absolutely the problem, but I don’t consider replacing it with something else, or eliminating it to be a viable response. My biggest problem with capitalism, and all economic systems, is the lack of consent. Capitalism should be tolerated only when conducted by those who have actively chosen to be exposed to it. Let them play in an air tight bubble where they have to recycle their competitively manufactured farts.
- Comment on When the AI bubble bursts.. 5 days ago:
The resources they’re exhausting aren’t the physical components, it’s the production capacity.
The shit being fed into this ‘AI’ grift will have very limited reuse potential when their universe implodes.
What we’re seeing is a confluence of unconstrained parasitic consumption, and artificially constrained cartel production.
The parallels I see are with OPEC in 1973. JEDEC have found themselves in a position of power at the choke point of a Crucial industry, and are leveraging it to maximise profit and influence.
Unions of individuals are good for society, cartels of corporations are carcinogenic.

- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 2 months ago:
I stream from my own library hosted on my fileserver.
I use a random playlist that increases the delay for track repeat plays proportionally to their play count. Albums are added as I find artists or themes I find interesting, movie and game scores are great for adding incidental randomness.
I’ve never payed or had an account on any streaming ‘service’.

- Comment on Bill and Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett’s Giving Pledge after 15 years: Only 9 of the 256 billionaires actually followed through on giving away half their wealth 3 months ago:
Financial obesity is a large part of capitalism, but it’s by no means exclusive to it. Replacing capitalism with anything that tolerates obscene wealth accumulation would be a categorical failure.
- Comment on Bill and Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett’s Giving Pledge after 15 years: Only 9 of the 256 billionaires actually followed through on giving away half their wealth 3 months ago:
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

- Comment on Independent MP to push for lowering of Australian voting age 4 months ago:
Age and competency aren’t mutually exclusive for weighting. I think age should be a mandatory erosion, but it can be offset with achievements such as academic study or public service.
Over time it diminishes, but slower for those with proven social engagement.
- Comment on Independent MP to push for lowering of Australian voting age 4 months ago:
Eligible to vote at 16.
Mandatory at 18.Votes are then weighted based on age:
Your vote is worth 100% until 20, then decreases 5% at every birthday ending in 0.
The older you get, the less you’re exposed to policy decisions made at the time.
There should also be strict term limits for, and mandatory exclusion and retirement from, elected positions. You can still hold advisory roles, but you shouldn’t be making decisions that affect a population when you’re in the upper 20% band of life expectancy.
- Comment on RIP America 5 months ago:
As an outsider, I honestly and sincerely invite anyone to explain how any of what’s going on in the US today isn’t as American as apple pie and school shootings?
- Comment on RIP America 5 months ago:
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, are incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

To better illustrate: Rewarding Peter by being the pawl.
- Comment on Albanese in trouble as polling shows Dutton most likely to be next PM 9 months ago:
The ALP have been the pawl of the L/NP Overton ratchet for at least half a century.
The most unforgivable things Albanese has done is make this country forget how catastrophic Morrison was, and elevate Dutton into a viable candidate.
