“We often have these folk memories that are not our own memories, but are just kind of passed down.
There’s a folk memory in tech of being a rebel, of being a hacker, of being a tinkerer on the outside.
And I think if you’re like 30 and working in tech, that just was never the actual story of your life.
I think the problem is they’ve clung to that folk memory even as they won.
So the analogy I use is, you see on the news these war-torn countries where you have a rebel army that is advancing on the capitol.
And you’ve got these rebel commanders in their berets sitting in the back of pickup trucks. They’ve got one gun, holding another gun.
Sometimes the rebels win. Sometimes the rebels actually make it to the palace. They become the new king, they become the president.
The old guy’s taken off in a helicopter to some exile country.
And it’s always a bad sign if the rebel, when they ascend to the palace, keeps their beret on.
Castro, Mugabe, Saddam, they all kept the beret. And what does it mean when you keep the beret? You haven’t accepted who you are.
You now actually are power. You’re not the rebel. You’re the establishment now and you haven’t processed your arrival. (…)
I think, when I was listening to [your interview with Mark Zuckerberg], my observation was… And I had the same feeling watching that Elon Musk spliff one.
I love to live in a world where there are all kinds of different people.
But I think we have to, just watching these guys, we have to acknowledge that they tend to be a very particular kind of person. Particular kind of man.
And they’re often these kind of boy-men who are not particularly developed in a lot of ways. They’re not cultivated.
That’s fine to have such people who kind of are not able to relate to other human beings and not able to connect to their emotions.
It’s great to have them in the world.
But to have so many of them essentially, now, in charge of what have become, basically, the locomotives of human history now, these various platforms, is really, really problematic.”

Okay, I'm posting this here because this blog has a much bigger following than my main. This is the first time I've ever begged for reblogs instead of likes.
The morning of August 10th a massive storm called a derecho plowed through the midwest, devastating Southern Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, and the entire state of Iowa, which is where I live. Iowa was hit the worst. A derecho is basically the equivalent of a hurricane. Our highest recorded wind speed was 112mph.
1/3 of the state lost power, and almost 3 days later, roughly 400,000 people still don't have power. We have approximately 23 million acres of farmland, and approximately 10 million were destroyed by the storm. That's not good at all. Our crops are one of the state's main sources of economic development, and we lost so much.
The light green area inside the circle is all of our damaged crops. We lost a lot of silos and grain bins as well
Outside of our local news stations, there's barely any national media coverage on this. Ive only seen a couple, and the only ones I have seen weren't even that in that depth.
The above screenshot was from today(Aug. 12th, 2020) at 9pm CST. 2 days had passed before either of them wrote anything about it.
We have some cities that are either partly out of power or entirely out of power. One of the worst hit cities was even still recovering somewhat from a F4 tornado that went through it 2 years ago.
There's people stranded in their homes without food, power, gas and/or cell service. Please spread the word and let people know that we need help!
I’ll represent you in court :)
