There are lots of other galaxy-brain moments there.

      I’ve been busy packing and getting ready to ship out in the next few days, and because moving sucks as always, my head’s full of bees. All I can do is gesture frantically at what the fuck these servile cheerleaders for billionaires are doing now, though they’ve been doing the same thing since at least the so-called “Extropian” movement of the early 90s.

          What the fuck is an extropian?

          “Extropian” was the 90s era term that capital-R “Rationalists” called themselves back then. The implication was a giant “nuh uh” to mortal limits and human limitations, including entropy itself as the name suggests.

          You got decades of lore about these reptiles eh

          At a casual outer circle level, I used to be one of them. I used to attend the so-called “futurology” conferences in my local area. I watched them get fully bought out by billionaires and I saw the military-industrial complex set up shop there. yea

            But according to Palo Alto Uber Alles the MIC and Silicon Valley goes back like 50 years

            Beat entropy itself

              I don’t doubt that, but it wasn’t so brazen as basically military recruitment booths right at the conventions until around the time I was so disgusted that I stopped going. That was also when weird blood orgies involving “chipping” demonstrations right on stage were in vogue. It was like the weird shit you see on the “carousel” on the old Logan’s Run.
