Tankies are gonna tankie.

This obsession with people’s junk must stop.

Exclude non-profits and open-source software. In fact, tax multinationals out of existence.

Bold of you to assume he can spell.

Safe to assume it’s like ten times that much.

True. But this is a rarefied use case that doesn’t apply to 99% of teenage iPad users, at least in my pedagogical experience. Keep in mind the average ACT score for college-bound seniors in Florida is 18. Meaning these kids literally can’t even read. They’re not using iPads for anything resembling creativity.

To be fair, the GMO thing is funny and dumb.

I am sadly not in charge of reality. Just sitting here lamenting it.

You think I should lie because the truth makes you uncomfortable?

You think I’d still have perfect SAT scores if instead of reading 500 books in high school I spent my time playing World of Warcraft? Get a grip.

But it was close, proving once again that around the world about half the population is literally insane. How braindead must they be to vote for Bolsonaro or Trump. I’m telling you, most humans are barely more than rabid animals.

iPads are content consumption devices. Full stop.

The whole concept of a government banning access to drugs has no moral justification in any coherent normative system ever concocted. What is the argument here? Some bureaucrat incomprehensibly stupider than I am gets to decide what I do with my own body? What I am “legally” allowed to ingest? Unless the drug in question can make me explode, posing a danger to others, there’s simply no reason to prevent me from having as much of it as I want.

Unless the goal is to excuse the expansion of the surveillance state.

Currently, the US spends $5k per child and $29k per septuagenarian annually. Also, the average voting age in primaries is 72. We are living in a gerontocracy, because old people take children for granted, so much so that they’re enthusiastic about their government rounding up immigrant children, toddlers, and trafficking them out of the country.

My point is that if we had fewer children for a few generations, maybe it would adjust people’s selfish and animalistic priorities. Fast fashion, meat eating, celebrity worship. That’s what the most prosperous people in the world are all about. I want fewer of them on this planet because we are using 20 times the resources available and most people are poor anyway — until such a time as we establish a path to sustainability.

Or do you enjoy reading about dolphins boiling alive in rivers during record heatwaves? What even is the point of having more than a billion people on this rock if we can’t be bothered to feed them? Like what is your game plan here?

My original point is that breeding more humans doesn’t improve the world at the moment, at all. We need to find balance with our environment. Not to mention, we aren’t even raising humans to be “good” or smart or kind, all while devouring this planet like locusts.

If you’re struggling to wrap your mind around the claim that most people are assholes, I present to you the last US election, when over 50% of voters chose Donald Trump, a convicted rapist, fascist, and known pedophile. This is an enormous sample size, surprising no one who has studied history, since we’ve had slavery for like 10,000 years and most humans are literally incapable of abstract reasoning. You can’t possibly expect me to lament the decreasing quantity of these creatures.
