Yeah but Corpsey's thread was for the connoisseurs, not the riff raff

 

[Corpsey]

Luka puts out mass market product

It was only 5 pages but it was 5 pages of proper Terminator talk

 

[Corpsey]

My hot take was Terminator was about gun control.

“This is the problem of the new generation – they are educated to hate and to envy,” he said. “If in the past you are a good entrepreneur, journalist or artist, the first reaction was praise, but now the first reaction is not ‘wow’, it is to challenge. We have lost the sentiment of respect.”

Version you're on fire with the homemade memes

Don't encourage him Gus.

Don't give him anything. Starve him of compliments and recognition. Keep him hungry

 

[version]

I'm a craftsman. The compliments are just the icing on the cake.

Makes perfect sense cos when the vaccine is rolled out he'll have millions of slaves to work the land for him. Like in Sorry to Bother You again.

We gotta move through this though, this phase of techno-feudalism. The alternatives are either the destruction of the uberwealthy or the abrupt communization of the uberwealthy, and I won't bet on either of those. So what kind of strategies and sensibilities are best suited for this contingency?

 

[constant escape]

For me the general duel effort would be willing the wider enjoyment of free time, and willing your libidinal potential to express in systematically friendly and sustainable ways.

edit: sustainable, if not progressive outright.

 

[luka]

I hope we will get more free time but I'm not convinced we will.

 

[constant escape]

I think one major caveat of any prospect of increased free time will be increasingly meaningless activity, activity that will drain the libidinal potential.

 

[constant escape]

But there could potentially be relatively abrupt political measures here or there that may dial up free time levels. My point is that it would be a more economically easy transition if people were passionately driven to optimize society in extenuating and substantial ways.

Rather than everyone using most of their free time pursuing activities that only have immanent or otherwise fleeting value.

 

[constant escape]

So there would be a kind of indifferent and pragmatic self-flagellating as a deterrent from such suboptimal expenditures of libidinal potential. Guilty for feel mindless. Negative feedback, circuits which can be consciously bootstrapped into different arrangements.
