Anti-natalism isn't dangerous because it is absurd; it is dangerous because it isn't. It is an ideology that leverages altruistic intent to deny others their most fundamental desire: to live. New essay! Preview and link in the comments.

kinda fucked up that we live in a universe where the amount of interesting stuff that can happen will inevitably trend towards zero

among other things ofc. they also serve as “cover your ass services” and trade secret distributors/indirect collusion machines (i am intentionally describing these as cynically as possible—these firms do have real value, despite common narratives)

Management consulting firms exist largely as middlemen to supply Ivy League talent to boring firms that would otherwise be too low-prestige to attract them
I think a lot of people go from Ivy League schools to working for McKinsey and other consultancies is that they offer high salaries to smart people with no specific skills and the opportunity to have other similar people are colleagues.

Unfortunately, scaling solar + batteries will probably not be enough Fortunately, it’s not THAT far off, especially with curtailment programs (see: TX SB6)
My views on AI: • water issue is fake • energy issue is real, but scaling solar/batteries should address • a valuable, transformative technology • will rot our brains through slop if we let it • data center built out seems a wee bit excessive but who knows • ?? on doomer

I think most “fall of western civilization” talk can almost entirely be traced back to the fact that we don’t build Great Works anymore You actually can eat GDP, but you can’t exactly marvel at a line going up
It's almost impossible to get horny for capitalism these days. Ayn Rand had railroads and skyscrapers. What do we have? Sports gambling? Youtube shorts?
