You’re welcome to scroll my comment history to about 6 months ago where I was using the phrase “informational equivalent of Kessler Syndrome”, or talking about accurate attribution and faithful replication as being useful effects of the current copyright regime even if the rest of it is garbage.

Artists demanding money: “YOU BETTER PAY ME FOR THIS STUFF OR ELSE I’M GONNA… gonna… Idk, keep making it for free I guess?”
- Comment on AI Traning 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say it’s the biggest issue. Even if access was free, we’d still have to contend with the extreme energy use, and the epistemic chaos of being able to generate convincing bullshit much quicker than it can be detected and flagged.
I think it’s a harmful product in general. We’re polluting our infosphere the same way we polluted our ecosphere, and in both cases there’s still folks who think “unequal access to polluting industries” is the biggest problem.

Idk man, kids can adapt to pretty much any condition. It’s mostly other people’s reactions that make it hard. I don’t think you make that better by saying they’re justified in their prejudices.

This is why a positive kind of masculinity also needs to reject patriarchy and capitalism.
“Producing more than you take” doesn’t have to mean money. (Though I did mean money in my original comment, cuz Zuck is a greedy monster.)
Just listening to people more than you demand to be listened to. Doing chores that you know your friends and family hate. Sharing your knowledge. Cooking. Fixing things. There are so many ways you can contribute to your group that don’t take money, and don’t even take much time.
Being financially responsible and helping people when you can is important, don’t get me wrong.
But seeing your worth in purely financial terms is really limiting and unhealthy for the individual, and also tends to create perverse hierarchies inside of families.

Masculinity isn’t just for men. Just like femininity isn’t just for women. A healthy person has a mix of these qualities, along with many others that we don’t tend to align with a specific gender.
When I say “a real man”, I don’t mean it as an objective assessment to stick a person neatly into one of two piles. That’s not how gender works, and it’s not how being a person in general works.
What I mean is that if you’re indulging in behavior like belittling other people for fun or “cool points”, or using your power or physical strength to get what you want, and calling that “being a man”, then your idea of manhood is a mirage. If you want to aspire to something based on your male gender identity, aspire to humility, vigilance, and service to others. Those are great qualities that anyone can have, but they’re especially important for men if we’re gonna have a respectful and productive society.
- Comment on Par for the course 5 weeks ago:
He’s right about one thing: There is a serious lack of actual masculinity among our leaders.
Most public figures who try to present some form of “masculinity” are just desperate and petty, willing to sacrifice nothing to earn their status, and eager to degrade others to look better by comparison.
A real man produces more than he needs, but takes only that much and ensures the rest goes to those who are less able to sustain themselves. They protect the defenseless, elevate those who are ignored, and invest in a future they won’t personally live to enjoy.
Show me a real man among you. It’s not femininity keeping you from finding one. It’s your own greed and hubris.
