One if the funniest things going on right now is watching the "Israel is just a forward colonial outpost, a US vassal state"-crowd get their panties in a bunch because Israel is acting with agency of its own.
It's pitch-perfect irony, & they're mostly too dumb to grasp it.

One of my favorite twitter characters of the last few years is this mentally-ill failed philosophy student who has convinced herself she has perfect understanding of the geopolitics of a region she just got interested in 2.5 years ago. Amazing stuff.
I guess I agree with Hussain that the reason they are actually doing this is important! but because seeing the actual trajectory i think is an important point of intervention. They are so so far beyond their capacities

I condemn the senseless attack on a mosque in San Diego. But I think it's important to recognize the effects Gazans' actions have on anti-muslim sentiments, and their role in the rise of islamophobia. The actions of Gazans are endangering muslims worldwide.

In a few years, when this hype-cycle about the Spicy Autocomplete is over, people like this are going to be SO embarrassed that they were swept up in it.
It's like if philosophers had come out of the woodwork circa 1999 to issue proclamations on the profundity of Pets dot Com.
Big personal news: I’ve been recruited by Google DeepMind for a new Philosopher position (actual title), focusing on machine consciousness, human-AI relationships, and AGI readiness, starting in May. I’ll continue my research & teaching at Cambridge part-time. Absolutely stoked!

How Democracy Works In The EU
If it doesn't pass , vote again.
If it doesn't pass, vote again.
If it doesn't pass, vote again.
Once it passes, never vote on it ever and have hate speech laws to make it illegal to even bring it up as an idea.
