I asked why they thought this, and they said its because the religion of our times is “process data faster than everyone else, and crush everyone else.” They pointed to google et al as examples.

Google, whose success was fostered and supported by the intelligence community through Sergey Brin. If you look at the balance sheets of most tech giants, theyre all insolvent but somehow remain afloat. Lots of links to intelligence community and Israeli funding. Of course this is besides the point for them, because it doesnt support the pet theory.

What gets me is that these people arguing for extraordinary technological change are often the most ignorant of technology. Of course its no coincidence.

I told them that the ability to process more data at faster speeds is useless, if not counterproductive without the ability to make sense of the data, or understand the limitations of the models. Or how unlimited data will not help model systems that are too complex, such as weather. Of course this all fell on deaf ears.

I could go on with how computers are always referenced as examples of how technological change is exponential, yet the fact that theyve reached thermal and physical limits forcing quantum computing is always glossed over.

People dont want to learn anymore, they want to read a book and be an expert. Thank god my dad was an engineer who wasnt afraid to tell me I was wrong often without regard to my pride. Otherwise I might have been too smart to learn anything.

I had the key to my motorbike stolen while I was riding yesterday in W9. Kicked me first, then reached over and grabbed the key. Quick little fucker. Some mixed race piece of shit. Known to the police but untouchable. Responding officer was good as gold, as always it’s the wankers in the offices hindering them.

No plate on their scooter, probably stolen (Yamaha Tmax)

Viva la revolution…
