It’s my birthday so I’d like to celebrate it with you by saying 1) Stop letting the news convince you that civil rights protestors breaking windows and highly-organised, state sanctioned police violence occupy the same moral space
2) The military industrial complex is the purest form of capitalism and US foreign policy is the clearest example that free markets turn into violent ideological apparatus that eventually exist to uphold their own hegemony
3) Defund and abolish LinkedIn
4) HTML is a programming language
6) Automation is going create a deep, irreversible dystopia of poverty unless we can completely change, in real-time, our philosophy of labour and productivity
7) The best album of the year so far is I Let It in and It Took Everything by British metal band Loathe and although it isn’t a competition, it’s not close
8) Wealth isn’t zero sum but most people access their income through the prism of private business, which is zero-sum because for the CEO to make £1.5m a year, the cleaner needs to earn £16k and arithmetic is zero-sum
9) Wealth and income are not the same and high salaries are not the same as accumulated wealth
10) The most crucial piece of becoming a wealthy Libertarian is having access to enough poor people for you to exploit
11) Wear a mask and protect your city
12) Facebook is a fundamentally corrupt and deeply immoral enterprise with a business model almost exclusively comprised of serving political propaganda to relatively wealthy old people and brand propaganda to relatively poor young people
13) The stock market is a mood ring for rich whites and artificial government stimulus has fundamentally disconnected it from economic reality
14) Rishi Sunak isn’t a hero and he shouldn’t become Prime Minister
15) It’s very unlikely your website actually needs ReactJS
16) London is the most corrupt city on the planet and most of its economic activity is platformed by an industry that washes eye-watering sums of money gained through both legal and illegal corporate violence
17) BLM
18) Skateboarding is not a crime
19) Small businesses quickly turn into a projection of the owner’s bias and personality flaws unless they hire and allow people smarter than them to solve that problem
20) Unless we can learn that economic self-interest is a myth that has destroyed our relationships and environment, climate change is going to make Coronavirus feel like slipping into a warm bath
21) Peace https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✌🏻" title="Siegeshand (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Siegeshand (heller Hautton)">
