In the 21st century, technology only means information technology; progress in all other fields has halted.

this is definitely A Take, everything sweaty nazi doesn’t like or care about stops existing. or maybe “progress” for him only means things he can grift on, in conditions when grifting is possible? bubble popping will definitely mean stop to whatever bullshit is going on in vc rollercoaster and that includes him specifically, this of course means that sky has fallen and humanity stopped progressing forever. masters thesis from this year can be easily more insightful and include more new knowledge than phd thesis from, say, 60s. (depends on field of course). together with geometric increase in new phds i guess that progress is, indeed, still happening

i’ll try to replace “progress” by “cocaine money” from now on in his writing. is he pro-trump because the only thing whose price fell so far is cocaine?

The world feels stuck. We are running a “red queen’s race”: working harder, running faster, yet standing still. Wages have stagnated, health is plateauing, and optimism is fading.

yeah, why are wages stagnating, fucker?

Science once promised radical life extension; today, the closest we come to mastery over death is legalized euthanasia.

yeah it was called “alchemy” and even the truest believers dropped it when they figured out that mercury pills kill people. also, why would sweaty nazi say this? he bought fully into cryonics grift (and maybe others) and might be the most scared of death man walking the earth. is he trying to pivot to evangelical christianity and hope that everyone will forget how fast he got sweaty when he was asked about luigi?

Since then, secular apocalyptic fears have multiplied:

Bioweapons Nuclear war Artificial intelligence Fertility collapse

Since then, secular apocalyptic fears have multiplied:

• Imaginary exudate of imaginary robots
• Something that didn’t happen and won’t because MAD works just as well now as in, say, 70s
• Imaginary robots
• Nazi talking point

I like how there’s no democratic backsliding on that list, or warrantless mass surveillance or climate change with its many downstream effects, like zoonoses, or these fuckers specifically inflating another economic bubble. I guess this must be bringing most progress cocaine money for sweaty nazis, and who i am to stand in its way

e: also, sweaty nazi cites a russian proponent of global theocracy (dead in 1900), nice touch
