Last Notes npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall I hate this modern internet so fucking much. 15 yrs ago that same search would have turned up loads of little micro blogs with first hand accounts of greenhouse building. Now all I get is AI garbage. We've seriously regressed to the point that if I want to learn about something my best bet might be going to an analog library and looking for a physical book on the topic. npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall Something that I haven't seen mentioned regarding #autism and #bullying... I really wasn't bullied as a kid, I'm tall and have been told I come off as intimidating, so that likely spared me. But my behavior was very much molded/shaped by observing *other kids* being bullied. I still lived in terror of having that happen to me, and I learned those lessons about how to dress, how to act, etc, and some of those habits I still can't shake decades later, even tho I wasn't bullied personally. npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall A full PDF of Understanding Power is available at the link below. Obviously I have my paper copy highlighted and underlined, but the PDF is still useful to be able to search for specific words that I couldn't find using the index. https://oceanofpdf.com/authors/noam-chomsky/pdf-epub-understanding-power-the-indispensable-chomsky-download-37861608937/ npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall Another phenomenal entry: In 1968 JCS was asked for 200k troops to Vietnam and refused bcs of concerns that troops wud be needed at home to put down a possible rebellion. https://media.mas.to/masto-public/media_attachments/files/110/895/461/535/124/627/original/f6f70e631c6dba26.jpeg npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall From Chomsky's Understanding Power: "Automation was designed to demean and degrade ppl, to de-skill workers and increase managerial control" "managers have selected automation even when it cuts back on profits, just bcs it gives them more control over their workforce." https://media.mas.to/masto-public/media_attachments/files/110/895/203/811/021/121/original/50dd0591d262cb58.jpeg npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/13/56-percent-of-student-loan-borrowers-will-have-to-choose-loans-or-necessities.html https://media.mas.to/masto-public/media_attachments/files/110/889/130/626/108/878/original/acfe8208565c1cc2.jpg npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall @npub1dqz…wglw @npub15an…thlk Wrong. The quote “Science is naturally conservative, and so if projections from models are wrong, science [is] most often wrong by understatement” is the very definition of gaslighting. npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall "Hey my survival tokens suddenly are worth less survival necessities." That's just seige warfare repackaged. npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall @npub1ju2…m0x2 @npub1qzc…yetl Thieves work hard too bro. 😆 Working hard isn't the purifying act you think it is. npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall The most fun part about the newly approved Chevron cancer-juice story is that the EPA doesn't even know what the fuel is for. 🙃 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/aug/04/epa-boat-fuel-cancer-risk-chevron-mississippi https://media.mas.to/masto-public/media_attachments/files/110/832/011/749/304/373/original/ac09762b6c605eb4.jpg npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall @npub1ruh…fxel @npub1a55…27yp @npub1ju2…m0x2 @npub1qzc…yetl Definitely agree. That's a big reform topic in a number of cities. Zoning rules have been used as a tool of oppression in a variety of ways, parking minimums are definitely a big one. npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall When inflation happens to the prices of things needed for survival, then people can't access the means of survival (or get less of it), that literally means people suffer and die. Inflation is not some dispassionate act of nature, INFLATION IS THE RICH KILLING THE POOR. npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall @npub1ju2…m0x2 @npub1qzc…yetl None of what you mentioned is "work", the money made is not "earned". What you described is gaming an exploitative system to steal wealth generated by others. The entire stock market and the existence of "shares" is simply a mechanism for mass theft. QED npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall Climate scientists betrayed us. One of the simplest tells is the way they use the word "conservative" when talking about forecasts. Climate forecasts are the *opposite* of conservative. https://medium.com/@samyoureyes/the-busy-workers-handbook-to-the-apocalypse-7790666afde7 https://media.mas.to/masto-public/media_attachments/files/110/826/570/978/666/245/original/bb978b57c30cd402.jpeg https://media.mas.to/masto-public/media_attachments/files/110/826/571/614/611/292/original/076bdddb2b3d28d3.jpg npub1cnsfmvjytfa6ggs2s853wzdfgmj9ts6kzx5ya4aw4saz8gazgp6qxtrpqf Sam Hall Net Zero is like building an interstate highway right up to the edge of a cliff, opening it up for traffic, and saying don't worry, someone will invent a way for cars to fly before anyone goes off the cliff.
