Both trademark and copyright's limitations assume that they aren't being weaponized by immoral sociopaths. Both collapse if they are.

if we contain multitudes, it's statistically likely that some of them will be stupid.

an epidemic is a self-failing prophecy: it gives you the opposite of your scenario.

when you plan for high infection, it plummets.
when you plan for no infection, it spikes.

let it play, and you get an accordion effect.

time crystals are a thing that exist.

A time crystal is both stable and ever-changing, with special moments that come at periodic intervals in time.

expose their hypocrisy FAST, so we can clear the space for better, important conversations.

fuck derailers. fuck spin doctors.

when an ecofascist links climate change with overpopulation, ask them about the wasteful lifestyle of the west.

when a TERF complains of transwomen in sports, ask them what they're doing to fix sports gender pay gap.

and it's true that industrialization is caused by humans.

but it's very convenient to add both those who BENEFITED from industrialization with those who SUFFERED from it.

we should fine-tune our anger. and that's the discussion ecofascists want to erase.

humans are not causing climate change: industrialization is.

we gotta talk about western debt.

I repeat: if you're a cis transhumanist and not a trans(gender) ally, fuck you.

if you're a transhumanist AND transphobe, I have ZERO respect for you.

cis transhumanists should roll red carpet at wherever transgender people go, because they set the precedent for cyborg legal framework.

Ghost in the Shell: Human Algorithm is a thing. but crunchyroll si a copyright maximalist institution and it doesn't let you printscreen manga.

oooooooh pirates!

This is NEW. And exciting.
