Cynical and bitter mutualist & consequentialist. I hate accelerationists and their apologists as much as I hate fascists.
I used to want good things, but everyone else seems to be fine with bad things. So now I’m pro-vacuum decay event.

Maybe. It does imply a desire to be free if that quote resonates, but his actions don’t seem to indicate seeking social freedom from his current set of friends.
There was one point when he got drunk and confided in me that he thought he really had no real friends and had an emotional melt down. But this was a long time ago and as far as I know, nothing has changed for him since then other than a new job.
I do think his defensiveness of Rogan is fraying, if only because Joe Rogan is becoming increasingly bad at managing his own image. He stopped watching Rogan back when he started charging for his show so it was probably inevitable.
He probably wouldn’t watch any political or joe rogan deconstruction video I send him though.
I think I know what you mean. He lacks “broad” compassion and is intellectually a coward. If you think those are prerequisites for being a good person, he isn’t one.
What I should have said is he is empathetic and inter-personally does what normal good people do in the immediate context of people around him, including helping strangers. Even going out of his way to do so.
My younger brother loves Tyler Durden quotes. One in particular “It’s only after we’ve lost everything that we’re free to do anything.”
I’m not sure why that one jumps out at him, dude makes more money than me. I do want to say though that hes genuinely a good person in most ways, hes completely surrounded by frothing at the mouth rightwingers but maintains that he is a centrist. And he says stuff that implies left wing and anarchist beliefs but constantly defends rightwing figures when I shit talk them around him. Most notably Joe Rogan.
Hes just badly propagandized and would end up being socially isolated if he started actually identifying as left wing because all of his friends would stop talking to him. And he refuses to move and make new friends. Its depressing.
Time to build a LAN party cafe in my basement and install all the DRM free classic FPS games I own on all the devices.
Only up to a point, fossil fuels getting cheaper will reach a point where it wont be worth extraction outside of for niche customers.
If renewables become plentiful and cheap enough globally fossil fuels will more or less die off in use, even if right now they’re going upward in use its temporary. The problem is we’re stuck with severe consequences even if they do eventually largely stop. We’re stuck with severe consequences if they stop this very instant in fact.
What we really want is renewable energy to become so cheap and plentiful that not only do fossil fuels stop being used but carbon capture technology’s high energy cost becomes null and it just becomes a net good. ATM the technology is useless because the high energy cost ends up just putting more co2 into the air anyway than is removed.
I want that feeling to disappear, by having Linux completely dominate the OS space.
