Casual reminder that Stuart Ritchie, a scientist who currently works in Anthropic’s comms department, once wrote this bizarre defense of Francis Galton, the racist godfather of eugenics.

I was pointed to Amodei’s essay via a tweet from Stuart Richie, a scientist and author who currently works in Anthropic’s communications department. Remarkably, in Richie’s book Intelligence: All that Matters, he describes Francis Galton, the godfather of eugenics, as someone who “would likely have been appalled to see the end results of the eugenics movement.” (p.102) Richie’s conjecture is hard to square with Galton’s statements that “the Jews are specialised for a parasitical existence upon other nations” and that “there exists a sentiment, for the most part quite unreasonable, against the gradual extinction of an inferior race”—to cite only two of Galton’s many racist and genocidal claims.

_The white christian president is himself an adjudicated rapist. The evidence is clear and undeniable that his best friend was modern history’s most notorious child rapist, who ran a child-rape human trafficking ring for hundreds or thousands of our society’s social and professional luminaries._

It’s impossible not to hate Elon Musk after watching the new Gibney doc. It doesn’t reveal much new, but I’m glad someone has made a doc that goes deep on the many MANY ways this guy sucks

Man, when BMW says "that's too fascist for us"

e.w. niedermeyer@niedermeyer.online

just to emphasize what's happening here: BMW (a company that used slave labor under the Nazis) refused to provide an official vehicle to the ultra right-wing AfD party, which is now asking Elon Musk to provide a Tesla instead Tesla literally becoming the Nazi car brand

We are 24 years away from when the world needs to be at net zero carbon emissions. Fossil fuel infrastructure and even some appliances have about a 25-year design life. That means that every gas power plant, gas pipeline, or gas boiler you install today is a middle finger pointed at your grandkids.

“It’s amazing. All you people love me so much and adore me, and I literally have no respect for any of you. I think you’re all stupid rubes. You’re dumb as all hell, and I can’t believe you haven’t caught onto the con yet. It’s remarkable really. I love the poorly educated.”

Is this right? The last 3 White House spokespersons under Trump are named Kayleigh, Karoline, and Katie. ExKKKuse me for noticing a certain pattern from a man whose father was apparently a card carrying member. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.
