Looking forward to this launch. Some of my previously unpublished poems have the pleasure of being included in this upcoming anthology. Gonna make for a great coming out of the poetry closet anniversary.

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also a deeply unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

WILLFUL IGNORANCE: there's an -ology for that.

How to people get duped?

What's the truth?

How do you talk to others with seemingly very different realities?

We discuss in this freshly updated Agnotology ep with Stanford prof Dr. Robert Proctor:

Mark Cuban: I have to admit that l've been surprised at the level of hate at Al LLMs.

Sigh.

1. There’s always been a place to do that. They’re called β€œlibraries.”

2. Plenty of people still don’t have great access to internet or computers.

3. LLMs were not made to educate people, but rather to steal people’s work and livelihoods.

4. They’re wrong a LOT.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

#wip ways to go before I’m done but I think there is too much curation of life’s finished products. I’m more a fan of watching life unfold.
