38. I am tuning out the news
Sun Apr 26, 2026, 09:59 AM

Nothing but Quanta Magazine and Netflix till my work is on track.
I don’t find the net addictive.

But like a normal orderly (well compared to chaotic libertarian male creeps who embrace chaos..mine is inadvertent and loathesome to me) human looking for some damn structure so I can initate complaint filing as the tech predators have destroyed society, I ended up in this zombified state looking for information where there is some, but goddamn it’s trickle down infonomics.

I do badly when I am thwarted re following my own instincts. And then things go horribly and they seem to go horribly in the world as well as the only people I think make sense (e.g.: Lina Khan) are thwarted by these parasitic Vinod Khoslas, Zuckerbergs, Andreessens and Google creeps. Next time Lina do try criminal liability. These ugly fuckers hate democracy and women’s rights.

My compass broke when this type of learning, the “touch a hot stove and recoil” was thwarted in Oct 2011. And then I just forgot how to think:

This book that that movie Barbarian is based on makes total sense:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gift_of_Fear


I am normally a bit suspicious of any fluffy pseudoscience as it is antithetical to the real effort needed in areas outside the hard sciences. Most of that stuff is right wing coded..but peddled in a form that people don’t recognize immediately as right wing and lightweight (Haidt, Pinker etc). But this is a rare case where it is the only thing that explains why sometimes one looks at stuff one has no scientific or legal or medical training to assess but still calls bullshit

Look at these llms after 15 parasitic years that Fei Fei li type also says that they are worthless
FUCK WORLD MODELS
GTFO of my home and street and life immediately re the trash from 2011 to now is how I see it. Enough. I am not a sucker and never was. Misogynistic fucking parasites.

I will be back..
motherfucking fuckers and brainless. Next time I want evil assholes with enough brains for their own rational self interest not the types of idiots who are going to end up in prison and attach themselves to me and try to invert that.

I saw the origins of this world that handed on trump and tech parasites as king.

See you later du.
Fuckers taking me for a fool just because I am ..I try to seem nice where I am not actually nice (ie with foul bores of unclear levels of male insanity..) or something for some peace and quiet
See…it all got mis wired.
You have less peace and quiet in this case if you

I could not assess the level of crazy and stupid and now I figure well time the crazy and stupid stop thinking that hostage situations work once the old noggin is back.
