  Yeah you can use Tor as an example of “Resistance” infrastructure, it only really exists because Western governments themselves need to use it and the asymmetry in how information can be shared in western countries vs the enemies of western countries makes the calculus for in favor to let it operate. iirc most Tor nodes are in 5 eyes countries. The government could just force everyone into closed source backdoored apps if they really wanted too.

  Really the only way to have “Resistance” infrastructure is to have another state actor aligned with it. The enemy of our enemy is our friend after all.

  Your suppose to create a monopoly THEN shittify your product with ads. OpenAI is like speedrunning being a big tech company before our own eyes, it lines up from what I hear from people working there.

  What would “teaching” ethics even do, JD Vance has his own ethical framework and to him this all makes sense, presenting him another framework will not change anything.

  Being a young twenty year old living apart from your parents among your peers with lots of free time to study and develop your talents enlightens you and rounds you out.

  I really never got this from my time at university, I guess I’m curious what “enlightenment” you felt you got out of it.

  Evil people congregate in everywhere. I wouldn’t put this on universities specifically

  Agreed but I get annoyed at people who have this idea of if we just educate everyone -> utopia and that conservatism is a function of undereducation, just look at what party german universities supported in the 1930s. It leads to kind of whigist thinking where we see more education happening -> more enlightened people -> better people when in the end its really just a tool

  People who talk about how college makes you “Enlightened”, “Well Rounded”, etc. always baffle me. These elite prestigious institutions graduate some of the most evil and diabolical human beings driven purely by greed and prestige. Socrates was wrong guys you don’t have to keep defending him
