The question was, would they make that exchange?

I don't believe they would, because #1 and #2 affect their political power directly and the left is ONLY about power.

You can see their reaction to Mamdani saying he as black (i.e. no big deal to them, because he's a communist) versus the reaction if it was anybody else.

Generated Summary:

Main Topic: The video discusses Peter Thiel's interview where he hesitates when asked if the human race should continue, and Glenn's reaction to Thiel's views on transhumanism, AI, and the potential dangers of unchecked billionaire influence.

Key Points:

  • Thiel's Hesitation: The video starts by referencing Peter Thiel's interview where he seemed uncertain about whether humanity should continue.
  • Transhumanism and AI: The discussion explores the transhumanist philosophy prevalent in Silicon Valley, focusing on merging humans with technology and AI, as exemplified by Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants.
  • Autism and Conformity: Glenn discusses Thiel's perspective on autism, suggesting that it can provide a detachment from societal norms, fostering innovation.
  • Billionaire Culture: A significant portion of the video critiques the culture of Silicon Valley billionaires, arguing that their wealth and power, combined with constant flattery, can lead to detachment from reality, dangerous levels of self-confidence, and utopian/dystopian visions for society.
  • Essentialism vs. Nihilism: The video touches on the philosophical implications of transhumanism, contrasting it with essentialist views of humanity and raising concerns about the potential destruction of what it means to be human.
  • Lack of Debate: Glenn expresses concern about the lack of societal debate and safeguards surrounding the rapid advancement of AI, driven by billionaires with unchecked power.

Highlights:

  • Glenn's concern about billionaires' ability to reshape society without proper debate due to their wealth and perceived brilliance.
  • The discussion of Thiel's autism and how it might influence his unconventional thinking.
  • The comparison of mind-altering drugs to autism as a means of achieving transcendent thought.
  • The critique of Mark Zuckerberg's vision of brain implants and the potential implications for humanity.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office says Hamas requests for changes to truce proposal ‘unacceptable’."

As expected. He always does this.

The tragic death of 32 people in flash floods in Texas was due to rainfall probably magnified by the effects of the climate crisis.
The disaster was made all the more likely by the gutting of weather service and other government agencies built up over decades to keep the population safe.

Gee......This all looks familiar..

Where have we seen behavior like that before?
Where have we seen signs like that before?
Where have we seen people like that before?
Where have we heard complaints like that before?

Yet we're always told that this behavior is 'grassroots' and spontaneous..

This behavior and these actors are a cancer. Treat it accordingly and excise the cancer before it kills the body whole..

Die Franzosen würden sich angeblich zu schlecht benehmen.

n_n how many days has it been now since i got the first complete proof of concept working model's parts working (with the basic static 1 image format style and 1 config format ~ not the any-in-any-out aspiration yet), procrastinating on getting it neatened up...? [ over a week now? two? ] n_n i'm driving in muscle memory for the 4 commands current, rather than wrap them up into 1 command. a working dtcp shall appear, if the cosmos allows it, if i make it so. n_n

What a stupid blog post. 1Password is closed source. As pretty as it is and as much marketing hype they're able to buy you will never know if there is a backdoor in it.

That alone should disqualify it from any consideration in 2025. Full stop.
