Been reading a book called Fall, or Dodge in hell by Neal Stephenson this week.
Some absolutely cracking concepts in it. Dealing with hoaxes in the information age, the death and rebirth of the internet, medical advances in brain scanning technology on the horizon and the approaching possible singularity.

Prescient quotes in it too, and funny as hell

But googles a private company and they can do what they want..
and they’re only censoring violent hate speech for your own good..

Interesting bit of an interview with David Bowie from back in 80's. I often think it gets overlooked what a thoughtful and intelligent, articulate man he was.

He was very wise to die before Me Too ruined his reputation and rightly so.

The great inconsistency of wokesters is their complete inability to acknowledge hypocrisy.

It's either selectively ignored, or for the deep level brainwashed, it's not even identified.

Would’ve been fascinating to hear from Jagger..

I posted that yesterday. It has nothing to do with "woke".

It is all about the economic power structures that run the US.

Yep, can we say fash now?

No, but I know more about that stuff than you.

You know more about science than me.

What you're doing is like me claiming COVID is a skin condition

I really dislike fash as a term.

It’s 100% over used but it the terms of the merging government and corporate power structures to squash opposition..

Yep, that's textbook fascism.

I find The Fash is much like Woke.

A useless term deployed as an insult that's lost any connection to its original meaning

Your constant need to publicly declare that you have some sliver of intellectual antecedence over me only serves to highlight your own personal sense of inadequacy.

Your claim to fame is being the lead bugler of the pile on posse. That's it. Now **** off.

This word doesn't mean what you think it does here.

You always resort to this personal - hilarious really - attacks when you get called to discuss issues you've been sounding off on. It is pretty transparent.

Feel free to ignore me btw.

No snake its just thst your knowledge in these matters is always shown to be lacking. You react rather than think. Be a knowledge seeker. Stop pretending to be someone who knows things.
