If we build them, there would be no more: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, landslides, avalanches, mudflows, rockfalls, sinkholes, cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, tornadoes, lightning storms, hailstorms, dust storms, sandstorms, windstorms, blizzards, ice storms, floods, heat waves, droughts, forest fires, severe freezes, pandemics, or even pest outbreaks. Earth will never be Eden. Eden must be built.

I was a slavery abolitionist for 10 years and the thing that made me quit is realizing I would personally whip every poor person in the world to save my child
i was vegan for 10 years and the thing that made me quit was realizing i would personally execute every cow in the world to save my child

I find little more outrageous than people using woke social justice language to defend facilitating the mass torture of the innocent by purchasing meat.

ngl, these tweets have changed my perspective on veganism. i used to think that a vegan diet was the most ethical dietary choice, but i see now that i was wrong. the most ethical dietary choice is actually to slaughter and consume the morons who like tweets like this en masse.
Billie Eilish says eating meat is WRONG and people can’t claim to love animals if they eat meat 😳👀

The left treats the Indigenous as some sort of mythical forest elves who cannot do wrong. Whale hunting is bad. It was necessary for some people in ages past. But it is not anymore. I don't care that it's "cultural." Many terrible things are cultural. They should knock it off.
ever since i watched that documentary on whale hunting in inuit communities when i was in highschool i stopped taking white vegans who say this shit seriously

"If everyone gets material abundance. No one has material abundance." This is a dumb argument masquerading as a clever one. The key here is that AI/robotics enables an explosion of productivity, and UHI is a way to spread it to those who will lose their job.
If everyone gets a million dollars. No one has a million dollars. I'm not sure why no one understands this.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

Every day the anti-intelligence crowd (anti-intelligence and anti-AI are the same thing) loses more ground. The ground lost can never be recovered.

If Waymo gets its way, tens of thousands of people will be spared from automotive-related deaths. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, pedestrians, pets, and drivers are all safer. This isn’t inevitable — The pro-auto-fatality lobby is doing everything possible to stop it.
NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Waymo data (170M+ miles) shows a 92% reduction in serious injury/fatal crashes vs human drivers. While the post claims 2M jobs will be lost, BLS projections show transportation sector growth. Safety tech historically shifts labor roles rather than eliminating total employment waymo.com/blog/shorts/wa… bls.gov/news.release/p…

They run a euthanasia clinic that they call a shelter for tax reasons. The animals they kill wouldn't be better off continuing to live. These people don't care about the animals or the truth.
It’s even worse. PETA are so batshit insane that they don’t really believe in the concept of pets. They run essentially Auschwitz for cats. ‘Data has consistently shown that a large majority of animals taken in by PETA are euthanized. Reports have indicated euthanasia rates often exceeding 80–90% in certain years’

There are many things to dislike about progressivism, even just from a purely aesthetic point of view, and so we spend a lot of time on here ridiculing it on that basis, but it’s important always to remember that the main problem with progressivism is that it’s not true. It’s actually just not true that accidentally running over your sister when you’re seven years old is the equivalent of murdering someone or committing some other violent crime. It’s actually just not true that most people in prison are innocent. It’s actually just not true that most of the people in prison committed their crime unintentionally. When you talk to progressives, what you find is that they hold views about the world that are just simply not true. Maybe the aesthetics would still be bad, even if their claims were true, but their claims are not true.
Gavin Newsom's wife recalls telling prisoners at San Quentin about running over and killing her sister with a golf cart. She said that she wasn't punished because it was an accident but that the prisoners are doing life even though theirs was "probably an accident too."

I hate all race communism but I just never understood why brown people would ever get anything? At least with black people there was a history of race based laws against black people who were brought here against their will. What happened to brown ppl? Plus they chose this place
NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveils a “racial equity plan” directing resources toward “black and brown New Yorkers” across city agencies. Critics argue the policy raises concerns over race-based treatment.

This was a really stupid line tbh and I don’t know if the writers wanted it to seem wise. “You have to KILL the lesser beings in order to show your value for humans.”

For a guy who spends all his time bitching about how little the elite do for the common people, it's awfully hypocritical to then turn around and bitch about how Elon is providing cheap reliable internet to the poorest people in the world.
This is so incredibly moving when it’s not to add 19 more starlink satellites to the night sky

The decline in couple formation seems to be explained in part by confusion about how much water AI uses. Got these messages from 2 different people in 24 hours

It's so weird to me that the modern left is now just "yes I want us all to remain slaves to capitalism forever".
70% think AI will lead to fewer jobs. They are right. We can’t allow a handful of billionaires, eager to increase their wealth and power, to rush forward with a technology that will fundamentally transform humanity without democratic input or accountability.
