Billionaire-owned “philosopher” Benjamin Bratton finally coming out as full technofash in this declaration of alliance with JD Vance & a16z — here’s his scathing rejection of those who “stand in the way” of corporate AI agendas nobody wants. www.noemamag.com/is-european-...

trump admin: we demand more conservatives be added to college curriculum

me: *adds Bruno Latour to syllabus*

i mean LL is the only real artist of all those four what are we even talking about (exceptions made for erin brockovich)
