I think there is a fundamental non-understanding of power present in the post. By that I mean that the author doesn't appreciate that technology (or any tool for that matter) gives power and control to the user. This is used to further our understanding of the world with the intent of creating more technology (recursive process). The normies just support those at the forefront that actually change society. The argument in the post is fundamentally anti-technology. Follow this argument and you end up at a place where we live in caves rather than buildings.

Also the anti-technology stance is good for humanity since it fundamentally introduces opposition to progress and questions the norm, ultimately killing the weak/inefficient parts of progress.


Well it won, but it also left the "sources that it did not purchase" part on the table for further possible litigation if I understand it correctly


Good article. Lot to be learned about fasting. I've gone 3 days at most and surprised at the amount of energy and focus. They mention in the article how they are surprised with how much free time they get back from not worrying about food. I've found this to be surprisingly true! Its quite burdensome to return to eating when you just want to work during the day and got used to not having to worry about food.


I like how this is an online article
