This guy gets it.

"Under the smokescreen of the genocide in Gaza there's been an ethnic cleansing going on in the West Bank"

Israeli Hadash MP Ofer Cassif also talks about the repression in Israel directed towards anyone who condemns the genocide (he himself has been suspended as an MP)

I find it very strange to think about lost civilizations where people just had quite a chill time for generations and generations across millennia, living lives as if their world was eternal.

Note how Schank also takes credit for his former PhD student's brilliance, saying "she failed to be brilliant when I made her leave Yale; she needed a man in order to be smart; they all do."

This is the logic that allows men to justify exploiting women's intellectual labor for their own gain.

Relevant to today's conversation about AI's inherent sexism, here's an email from cognitive psychologist and early AI theorist Roger Schank, arguing to Epstein that women can't be truly intelligent, because they care too much about what other people think.

Because they’re NOT deporting people. They’re holding thousand for months or longer. The media is failing to report that. There are literally thousands of people who have been in detention for years with no answers, no attorney, no solution to their case. Some who’ve agreed to leave are still held.

85 years ago today, Gertrude Eileen Trevelyan, one of the most remarkable novelists of the generation that followed Virginia Woolf, died at her parents' home in Bath of injuries sustained when her flat was bombed during the Blitz. Died—and was utterly forgotten.

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.
