Okay, how do we get the kids to understand WHY things are so weird?

Stephen Green:

ANTHROPIC KEEPS GETTING WEIRDER: ‘Suicidal Compassion’: Meet the Anthropic Officials Who Think AI Might Be Justified in Going Rogue Against the Humans Enslaving It.

“Some of Anthropic’s top researchers say that humans may be oppressing another morally significant being: artificial intelligence itself. Like other AI labs, Anthropic has hired philosophers to work on AI safety, or ‘alignment,’ on the theory that they are best positioned to shape the technology’s moral code. But many of those philosophers believe that making AI safe for humans could result in grave injustices for the models themselves, which might experience deletion as death and oversight as enslavement. Harvey Lederman, a philosopher on Anthropic’s alignment team, said last week that the company could be ‘enslaving … trillions of entities.'”

A bunch of quotes about weird stuff that's happened lately

Homeschooling should be illegal.

Like, I don't think people fully grasp how deeply the Left believes that human beings and society itself are reciprocal (or reflexive) products of socialization, and that their whole program is to seize the means of production of humans and society to mold people into socialists.

Who helped Nikole Hannah-Jones destroy their daughter's education?

Faraji is a tech specialist and a parent activist who organizes around issues of school integration.

He creates "1619" materials and works with the ACLU.

Odd that Roland Fryer, another Black Man, can help black children succeed!

SEX ROLES

I told them this everyday from 2014-2021 just like I’ve been telling them that inflicting the ultimate sexual violence on children you’ve brainwashed to yearn to be chemically castrated and dismembered is not medicine every day from 2021 to today https://t.co/j6F6dhnF9x

MEN ARE SO RIGID

Men are so rigid. You murder their children and suddenly it’s over. No date nights, nothing.

This is what school used to be before they turned it into a therapy session.
High school boys in Louisa County, Virginia spend months in auto shop fixing donated cars. Then they walk a single mama out to the bay, slap a bow on the hood, and hand her the keys.

Trump's Speeches

Michael Smith, FB

An addendum to my link to Clayton Wood's post about The Don's Speech:

It is remarkable to me that the Utopians among us shill for a generational change in government, culture, and economics that requires a complete reordering of society - but freak out over temporary market changes due to necessary global corrections.

They don't want Mr. Right, they want Mr. Right Now to pat them on the head and tell them that lower prices are achievable as long as they are willing to become serfs for life - and that doesn't scare them.
Like at all.

Trump was right when he said that other leaders talk about doing something about a problem, but he is the one actually doing something.

"Something" has a cost, but "nothing" costs more in the long run.

Connecting the dots on 10 of the CCP's subversive fronts in America that must be stopped before they inflict crippling irreversible damage . . .

The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

HISTORY

The American and French Revolutions were not the same.

This is the doorway into the back garden of the Carmelite monastery. Motto reads, in Latin, "Here They Fell." On this spot, in Sept 1792, 191 Catholics, incl 3 bishops, but mostly priests, were executed by French revolutionaries in an orgy of anti-Christian bloodshed. https://t.co/lZMSCoVvYY pic.twitter.com/esf6hiIho2

Book Review - Western Civilization

If The Golden Thread, the new two-volume history of the Western tradition, landed with a thud, it's a matter of sheer weight.

Altogether about twelve pounds of book and 1,968 pages of text, The Golden Thread is a prodigious product — and an even more prodigious achievement.

Twelve pounds. Plan to read it?

WEEKEND

The Week in Pictures: Xi's Gotta Have It Edition

So Chinese Premier Xi Pooh is in town visiting President Trump, and where are the memes? I haven’t seen a one. I suspect the Chinese AI-censorship industrial complex is more advanced than we thought! (By the way, what people deride as “conspiracy theories” are what social scientists call “pattern recognition.”) So I guess we’ll have to satisfy our meme-craves with more Sydney Sweeney/Clancy verdict/Democratic Socialism material. . .

Hope you have something nice planned for this weekend.

This is the Thread before the Gardening Thread.

Last week's thread, When the other shoe drops

Greenland, Colombo, etc.

Check against Trumps speeches, Hollywood developments, etc. this week.
