  • @froztbyte@awful.systems is coming in a bit hot, but they’re not fundamentally wrong. @BlueMonday1984@awful.systems, you’ve received some pointed but good feedback on your writing style recently in MoreWrite and in other threads; I think you’ll be able to make much the same points more persuasively if you incorporate some of that feedback. I also recommend breaking out of doing predictions; I think you might get more mileage and variation out of a journalistic approach, and either way we know from crypto that prediction is a bit of a fool’s errand. these fuckers will remain irrational long after we’ve gone bankrupt, etc.

    I’m not gonna force you to do anything; if posts like these are what you’re comfortable with then it is what it is. I just feel like if you break out of your current pattern, you’re capable of achieving great results.


















  • god, the comments got heavily raided by various types of lazy TESCREAL:

    • how dare you doom all future generations to dying by pointing out that immortality under capitalism would be a living hell. you monster.
    • sure but life extension technology is real and on the horizon isn’t it? and then I can become functionally immortal! (no and shut up)
    • somehow, it’s bad optics to point out that rich people chasing immortality is fucking things up for everyone else

    and not only did none of these fuckers get the point, they’re also making points that aren’t at all common outside of TESCREAL circles? like, no normal person I know naturally slips into the “but think of the Bayesian children” modality of thought.

    is this just how Blue Sky is? I don’t browse it much outside of David’s threads.
