Last Notes npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness "When I was in justice, my ultimate vision for that part of the criminal justice system was to achieve, by means of AI and technology, what Jeremy Bentham tried to do with his Panopticon. That is that the eyes of the state can be on you at all times." npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Adam Curtis succinctly expressing his thoughts on AI. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness It saddens me that these evil people's dark philosophy is making inroads in Scotland. Fascism is anathema to the Scottish spirit I know and has no place here. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I agree with your sentiment that our only chance of a dignified collapse is with the public taking back power which will include organising our own climate summit. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness We're being gaslit at a global level by COPs, and I think this has been the case and the intention since their inception. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness These proposals would certainly be a good start. But we need to radically redistribute wealth and will need to do so much more than this. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Reform are gunning for neurodivergent people. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I think that's about right. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness The British political class have become hugely more authoritarian in general, all the way up to banning peaceful protests. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness "Johnson’s dictionary is undoubtedly brilliant, but one of the fun things about it is that he compiled it from the point of view of a middle-aged, middle-class man from the Midlands who regards the idioms and values of all other areas of society as inferior – the language of court was pretentious, the language of women diminutive and sleight – and allows his own prejudices and politics, hilariously, to influence his definitions of words. Excise was, for example, “a hateful tax levied upon commodities, and adjudged not by the common judges of property, but wretches hired by those to whom excise is paid”. Today, Johnson would be working for a Tufton Street thinktank like Taxpayers’ Alliance, and popping up on Question Time every week to push low-tax talking points without declaring his Dubai backers. My point is, I suppose, that supposed objective sources may always have been skewed." npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I found this absolute unit on the National Trust for Scotland's social media feed, and thought I'd share it here. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I generally find ND people easier to interact with and appreciate that there are a relatively high proportion of ND on here. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness But the same collection of oligarchs and corporations are funding all the main parties, including Labour, and they've accordingly given Labour their marching orders, which is to do precisely what Reeves is currently doing, in order to prepare the groundwork for a Reform government and, crucially, a further shifting of wealth from the bottom to the ruling class at the top. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness The entire idea of people positioning themselves in the "center", which I think many equate with being reasonable and balanced, when the Overton window is constantly shifting Rightwards is a nonsense way for them to be thinking, yet I encounter it frequently. Moreover, I think the entire notion of "Centrism" is a deliberate ploy by the Right to usher in fascism and normalise the previously unthinkable, which is what we're actually seeing. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I think about this sort of stuff all time, e.g. how long we've had actual indoor toilets for. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness It's great when things just align perfectly for your shot, like those orange clad worker standing in front of the orangecladding. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I've independently observed to others that music is becoming more generic and samey. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I also think the monarchy can do one. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Elites downplay the effectiveness of violent resistance throughout history because they know violence is actually effective as a form of resistance. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Our media has *deliberately* encouraged this fascist ghoul's political career because nigh on the entire media landscape is owned by fascist ghouls. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Given Antifa is highly decentralized with no official leadership, what I think will happen is that anyone who calls MAGA "fascist" will be declared a supporter of Antifa and an enemy of the state, and thereby persecuted variously up to and including being disappeared entirely. So McCarthyism on steroids, basically. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I like how the Met deliberately didn't use facial recognition at the Tommy Robinson protest, because they know there were so many police protesting. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Angela Rainer served her designated role of token "working class" person in the cabinet and now she is being gotten rid of to be replaced with another white grasping upwardly-mobile upper middle-class cis male, which the cabinet as a whole is dominated by. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness The socialist zeitgeist of the first few decades following WWII, a direct result of the brutality servicemen experienced in the trenches, would be considered politically impossible today. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Imma sploot right here. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness George Monbiot's proposal is Cloud Cuckoo Land, and I'm not suggesting otherwise. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I remember reading George Monbiot's book "The Age of Consent", which discusses idea of democratising things at a global level. It's interesting stuff, but like every other suggestion that reallocates power back into the hands of the masses, it will be very aggressively met with resistance by elite interests who will immediately seek to put the kibosh on it. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness You're not an alarmist. Not in the slightest. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness The Left versus Right situation is as simple as good versus evil. Everything else is window dressing. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/114/960/507/919/437/384/original/67ae6f7fab46f1a7.jpg npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Yes, but there are plenty of complacent older people who own their own property, often multiple properties, and they see the value of their asset is rising, and because they have an "I'm all right, Jack" mentality, they will vote for any party that promises to uphold the status quo where they continue to benefit yearly in terms of rising house prices. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Banoffee blondie by Pure Bakery, who are based in the Highlands. Completely vegan, and delicious. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Wow, I've not encountered this author for years, but nice to see him still fighting the good fight. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/114/869/226/996/971/854/original/0aac51ab7e5acd02.png npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I was literally just thinking this morning about the fact that the stated net worth of the Royals will not remotely reflect their true wealth. They will have huge amounts hidden away offshore. They don't disclose their actual wealth because it would be a bad look in terms of their hoovering up all those public funds. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness This quote seems apt given the state of things. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness This is depressing, albeit predictable behaviour from Labour. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/114/756/022/949/016/592/original/9a11d8d85de56c6f.jpg npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness A sick population generates huge profits for Starmer's pharmaceutical industry donors, is easier to control, and the genuinely infirm "unrpoductives" will hopefully be killed off early on as well, so it's all upsides from your average neoliberal ghoul's perspective. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness " O'Brien was looking down at him speculatively. More than ever he had the air of a teacher taking pains with a wayward but promising child. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Lots of libs on here today saying that we wouldn't have this war had we voted for a black woman. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Interesting and entirely predictable that Musk is raging against his own AI, Grok, for dispensing impartial responses he doesn't like. This week he publicly called it a "very dumb AI" and said he's updating it so that it delivers answers more in line with his own terrible biases and prejudices. And that's the problem with AI, namely that it can be programmed to yield whatever answers it's programmer wants it to. The notion that AI is going to end up being anything other than biased is cloud cuckoo land. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/114/708/540/220/375/338/original/19468000adcbd196.jpg npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Ben should do a lighthearted guide on how to survive civilizational collapse. Handy tips on how to zhuzh up your government issued rations combined with sections on basic knife combat skills. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Existence feels like it has become an Onion article generally. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness That people here in the Highlands of Scotland pay the most for their electricity in a UK context for their electricity, when the electricity itself is generated locally from renewables never ceases to depress me, but it's just another example of Scotland getting the excrement covered end of the stick. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/114/665/848/224/169/723/original/9cd614d00875af8b.jpg npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I agree. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness "Former members of UK Special Forces have broken years of silence to give BBC Panorama eyewitness accounts of alleged war crimes committed by colleagues in Iraq and Afghanistan." npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness We're on track crucially to hit 2C of warming by the early 2030s, so I think social care will increasingly be an afterthought from this point onwards, with it eventually being phased out completely. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness "New research has revealed that humans have driven about 1,430 bird species to extinction. This doubles previous estimates." npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness When everything collapses, Trump will blame the fed for his own bad ideas. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I tried "kalettes" for the first time today, which are a combination of kale and brussels sprouts, and they're lovely. I had them with pesto and beans. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Timeline cleanse. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness "The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness There's something akin to a Northern Alliance forming, which makes a lot more sense should you view the globe from above the North pole. That's why Trump wants Canada to join as the 51st state. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness As I recently posted in reply to somebody else, politics is nary but a service industry to the oligarch and corporate class, and most politicians will welcome autocracy because it will mean they'll will get a greater share of the spoils. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I wasn't aware of this artist previously, but really like their stuff. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Trump very much channeling his inner Sarauan here, commanding his orcs to cut down national park trees. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Wonderful. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Was there supposed to be a link included there? npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness The problem in my personal situation is that both my neighbours are aggressive, to the point of being actively antisocial, and I really don't want to get on their radar. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I have problem neighbours at the moment, who are noisy and have taken over the communal stairwell I share with them with all their detritus as well. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness We need to accept, at as early a stage a possible, that elite interests have won, specifically that they have captured our governments entirely. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness It sickens to me to think of the way politicians and the public were out clapping for the NHS during Covid, but as soon as we emerged from the pandemic normal business of demolishing the NHS resumed, with NHS staff even being vilified. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/113/825/978/381/032/329/original/cb5883d7fbaadfe3.jpg npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness A Supreme Intelligence with Elon Musk's values terrifies me npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I fear elites are waging a war on intelligence itself as well as trying to make a power grab. An uneducated and generally ignorant population is that easier to control ultimately npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness The climate scientists who I personally think are closest to the mark are saying significant warming is already locked in and should we not radically change course, which we're categorically not going to do under the present neoliberal regime, then we're headed for environmental and societal collapse. I personally think there's sufficient warming already locked in that we're unavoidably headed for collapse anyway, but let's hope I'm wrong on that. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness This meme applies particularly to Musk npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/113/775/345/681/326/531/original/dbc8a71f566597e6.jpg npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness You're right this policy blitz is all just more management speak nonsense. There's nothing of substance, just a managed decline and slide into autocracy, much as was the case with Biden's Presidency. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness I don't see how we are going to achieve the kind of radical reset Richard and others are talking about without a revolution of some sort. And the neoliberal elite definitely aren't going to relinquish their grip on the steering wheel without a fight, so this will involve violence of some kind or another. Elites will, without pausing, deploy the full force of the state against any young people with the courage to attempt resistance to our current insane, ecocidal, fascist trajectory. We've already seen how they reacted to Just Stop Oil activists and the really very polite, restrained college campus protests regarding Gaza in the States. npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness https://media.beige.party/media_attachments/files/113/725/102/065/682/401/original/2c1cd41fc8009294.webp npub10q76txfw0k5a3u53vkm38vxxdg3dxjs4xx7ncdf0qe9xew3jgawsthcmze Shivviness Microfungi in particular are astonishingly beautiful.
