Decel gang rise up

Putting philosophy talks at a music festival is one of those ideas you come up with to try and sound smart, cool, and edgy, but as a high schooler who has never done drugs nor been to a live show before.

Anyway I went through the lineup summaries on the wikipedia page, two notes:

1. No Jay Shetty! His particular brand of grift philosophy and thinly veiled clout chasing would fit in exactly at this sort of event. Then again, this festival might actually be beneath him, as he hangs out with hollywood a-listers.
2. The lineup noticeably hits its turning point into a nosedive when they start hosting Pinker in 2018.

I mean, I know who Penrose was, but from the context I assume he’s probably acutely suffering from Nobel Disease and I have zero idea what he’s been up to outside of physics.

He is busy being 93 fucking years old, lol

And isn’t Corbyn just a boring lefty UK politician? Does he have like a philosophy background or something?

They probably couldn’t get Bernie.

Christ on a futa dick

He is risen!

I think I was turned from “China probably bad” to “China might be good” when a tankie subreddit pointed out that China actually tries to rein in the billionaires and collect taxes.

You’ll accept my belief and like it, dammit! /s

I believe you!

What dedication to the grift. We are real-time seeing the downfall of US influence due to the trade war shit and this MF is saying the solution is “LLMs need more ‘lectrolytes”? This world is done for.

Ugh, what a piece of shit.

even some of the people who joined him on this disavowed him

Normal fascist shit.

Before his turn to zionism he dropped a lot of antisemitic dogwhistles.

For a Christian nationalist, zionism is an antisemitic dogwhistle

He also was too crazy for dr phil (source)

He’s probably malding over the fact that he doesn’t have Ben Shapiro’s career.

I’d also like a primer! That being said, I decided to take 1 minute of psychic DOT and looked at his profile. His Bio:

Perennial outsider. Cancelled by both sides. Pro-America. Anti-Communist. Anti-Fascist. Based af. Liberty First! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Chud shit. At best, he’s a Pinker-esque centrist (and therefore a cryptofascist). At worst, a Nazi. My bet is Nazi.

Scrolling through some of the tweets, it’s clear that:

• He is a Zionist, and therefore a fascist
• He is currently in a twitter feud with Cernovich
• He believes in some kind of “Woke Right” that will apparently destroy the GOP if left unchecked (read: un-killed)
• Yarvin wants to adopt him

Not a great guy, it seems!

Godel Escher Bach but worse

If Palantir represents a veritable unknown for the public, so too could its UK chief, the grandson of Oswald Mosley and nephew of former F1 president Max Mosley.

Ah, yes, noted grandfather and nothing else, Oswald Mosley. Definitely not the founder of British Union of Fascists, please don't look into that. His son was in the racecar business, isn't that lovely?
