5 Million? O.K. let’s roll.

60K for university education, should be plenty.

40K go to paying various bills for friends and family

100K for various charities

1.8M go to building a non-profit high tech eco commune in Argentina or a similarly climatically stable place with features inspired by FM 2030’s book Upwingers in regards to future living

300K go to anti-militarist causes

500K go to various vegan groups

200K go to building school projects in developing regions

1M are invested into a photovoltaic power station from which I will extract a $6000 rent p.a. max with the rest of the proceeds going to a fund for disabled people and disadvantaged youths

Last million:

100K for travels

100K for a communal homelab that provides hosting for FLOSS and anti-conservative politics

200K for hackspaces

250K for unions, they better have some conviction though

350K for cruelty free research on rare diseases

Tax includes military spending more often than not. If I was you I would find other ways of donating.

Whatever you think of Marx, it’s undeniable he has literary value. I’d say read him.

fair.

Hm, interesting. What do you think of Anwar Sheikh?

I find Heinrich to be more stimulating over all. He is really unique in that he and his peers consulted some pretty obscure notes and unpublished corrections/refinements M&E made. They differ from the big editions that were historically published. I am an “agnostic” Marxist – as in I don’t like to moralise about the USSR like a Trot and hate the present discourse around doctrinal purity and traditionalist legacy, who the real communists supposedly are and whether or not anyone today is allowed to call themselves a communist – I don’t at all believe in distancing yourself from an author’s work because other positions they hold don’t conform neatly to one’s previous politicisation.

Michael Heinrich wrote a very helpful guide for Capital. Perfect for the first 100 pages.

The already bullshit concept of an “AI” super intelligence had a definition. This renaming is completely nonsensical and nullifies the original meaning.

Pirating is ethical, spotify is not!

AI is such a good litmus test for universities. A lot of AI blah blah means they’re either a paper mill or only a few steps away from being one.

Fuck the Guardian (and Ed), it’s not a culture war.

School in this day and age is all about competition and selection. Kids internalise enforced competition and apply it to relationships. You get bullying and school shooters.

I’ve seen Palantir employees in Charlottenburg while visiting Berlin in 2023 ;) They are not as invisible as you would think. They’ll wear clothing from Patagonia with the branding

I would love to honestly. I’ve learned some Gregg, but the short forms mess with me.

Same, I am worried about humans using ANNs to kill people. Current society is a gigantic apparatus that is constantly shifting shuffling responsibility around. LMMs only accelerate the problem.

Arch is Ubuntu thanks to SystemD

Definitely a couple of humans.

The so-called polycrisis

It’s called capitalism.
