And having known some people with special needs, any random stranger calling them the r-word

Retarded do not face challenge by default, society forces a bunch of challenges on them, challenges they never asked for. Raping retarded politely and gently does no honor to anyone. Digging up Evangelion mistranslation to rape retarded gently by reminding them of their challenged status makes some ridiculous perversion, don't you think?

we don't know their motive

Someone decided to remove the thing that should not be.

That may temporarily save you from death rays, but not from mind control rays https://seek.rockefeller.edu/flipping-a-switch-inside-the-head/

I don't think it's pro or anti escapism. NGE is stressful and miserable. It points at some sources of stress and misery, and that's about all the wisdom you get.

Speed up the film, Zenen, quick. Click? Pic? Look, Eye, Now, Flick, Here, There, Swift, Pace, Up, Down, In, Out, Why, How, Who, What, Where, Eh? Uh! Bang! Smack! Wallop, Bing, Bong, Boom! Digest-digests, digest-digest-digests. Environmentalism? One column, two sentences, a headline! Then, in mid-air, all vanishes! Whirl man’s mind around about so fast under the pumping hands of publishers, exploiters, broadcasters, that the centrifuge flings off all unnecessary, time-wasting thought!

Are you aware of Transcension Hypothesis?

What an exemplary article. First half is facts and numbers about booze, second is bashing of the jews.

IQ is statistical test about sorting geometrical figures, not a real property of man. I remember what Shulgin wrote about IQ tests. I remember my own experience where I was accused cheating. In this wall of greentext I can believe claims about mapping, and that's about it. Claims about empathy are especially out of place.

That would be an understatement. It's not enough to say that governments and policy makers are unhelpful to solve problems. They create these problems. Check out "Planet of the humans 2019"

I do not destroy natural systems. Do you?

Overpopulation rhetoric is eugenics, it's origin are people who want others to not reproduce, to have their own genes prevail in the long run. Do you have many children? If no, you're pissing against the wind.

Only I know my capabilities. I see you're getting hostile. Why? I see no reason to get personal over these topics, especially if you value truth. You cannot tackle the truth unless you keep your head cool.

Why do you think the society is collapsing? Because of liars or because of those who reject lies?

What you posted fits "hijacking"

I do not acknowledge "climate crisis". In fact, I believe climate politics is scarcity politics. There is less and less limit on means of production, so why all people's needs have not been satisfied yet? Wealth hoarders produce many justifications and climategate is one of them. A lot has been invested into it, and they have hard time dropping it even after many decent scientists spoke against the lie.

This made me think about suicide.

Pigs curate all the exit nodes themselves, but sometimes not thoroughly enough. Yes, it is intimidation action, but targeted on their pets first, rather than at general public.

Trying so hard to be good? How about don't be evil. That would be a good start for pretty much everyone.

Prices are abstract, virtual. Prices have no intention, agency or will. Prices can't be real source, cause of event that threatens lives of many real people. It is real people who threaten other real people, virtual tools serving as medium of their actions. Claiming 'it was all prices' is attempt to avoid responsibility, retaliation from people who suffered against active manipulators: bankers, politicians, and their servants.

Mass education is not help, it's a brainwashing tool, it's purpose is to violate, rape young minds and bodies into conformity. Healthy men don't like being raped. Women do, because enjoying or at least tolerating rape had evolutionary benefit for their ancestors.

Artists are not just a ‘style.’ They’re not a product. They’re a breathing, experiencing person

That made me laugh. Artists have been getting increasingly greedy in the recent years, sucking up to capitalist system and spitting on the people. Patreon this, fanbox that. I encountered more and more teasers to paywalled content on pixiv. I say they get what they deserve. When stuff copyfags make, similar or better, can be mass produced for nothing, it's just like torrenting. Hoarders lose, people win.

Now, on the Luddic path I personally stand with Ted. AI art may be just an euthanizing distraction from horrors to come. The article also leaves impression that ultimately nothing depends on the people: now its corporate copyfag legislators against corporate technocratic mad scientists. I imagine a battle of one evil against another evil, that happens far away and produces pretty sparkling fireworks.

You don't need a weather man To know which way the wind blows.

I've read the article. A few thoughts.

If trusting airplane mode is like trusting a drunk to judge if they are sober to drive, then a more secure smartphone would be like a driver trained to drive well enough when drunk. If your threat model assumes you might be hit by artillery fire from state military, then the tools you should use must be military grade. Yet right after that the article picks iphone for their introspection, not because any security issues, but because apparently it's the most common tool meeting preferences and tastes of people dodging artillery fire daily. I have to wonder, who really killed those thousands of journalists, did armed hitmen contributed more or less to the bloodbath than apple's office slaves? The whole premise of inspecting iphone to reduce political murders is wrong. Journos themselves should know better than cryptographers about how much you can trust corporate cocksuckers with your safety. "Asking reporters deep in war zones to carry a separate camera, audio recorder, and word processor to avoid surveillance" would be the obvious practical solution, modern devices can be as compact as smartphone and simply better at their intended purpose, yet the article ditches this solution as a matter of fact. Why? Why are they going along with the murderers by trying to convince their victims to carry the death mark? Making it introspectable does not change the nature of death mark.

What follows is the largest part of article with a ton of technical data on killphone, all on the wrong premise. Didn't you say reporters shouldn't be cryptographers? Now you're feeding them like radiologists, hardware engineers, soldering technicians, forensics experts, and more all to make them more (un)comfortable with their death mark? It DOES fairly shows that the device in question is a tracking monstrosity, but only to those verily technically educated.

After hearing whole performance it sounds like this: in act one solo sings "artillery dodgers - keep using iphone", in act two orchestra plays "hackers and corporate cocksuckers, you've got work to do". In the finale it throws a couple jokes "android is worse, buy iphone" and "tor is safe". And only after the bullshit is over you may hear a single cry from the audience if you're lucky. "Don't use smartphone, you don't have to"

How would I use twitter if I have to?

How would I listen to state puppets if I have to?

Good thing I don't have to.

Why won't somebody do something? Oh, so burning oneself alive is a way of doing something, a political statement. I don't believe so, people don't burn themselves for statement, they do this out of despair, because their life was made unbearable by environment. Kind of happens with mistreated animals: first they cease breeding, then they cease breathing.
