Transhumanism is like Libertarianism.
Identifying these as "things," much less identities, is a massive L.
"The invisible hand can teach us things" lol
"I just need to take some classes"
DARPA is the only hope for the future.
"Here at Veridian Dynamics, our annual innovation summit helps us responsibly manage sustainability innovation initiatives and equity representation"
"BUT DARPA IS SOCIALISM"

This is correct, and why "conservatives" lose. If you can't stop the tells from redefining "racism" every decade or two to its advantage, what can you possibly win by defeating CRT?
"oh, you're just being postmodernist because you're a leftist" or something - the IDW
If you can't say, "we need to purge our educational system of anyone and everyone to the left of Andrew Jackson" you don't really understand what's going on and will only "win" a fleeting respite at best.

This absolutely horrific take brought to us by another "on the right." Computer, please bring up information on government - private partnerships.
I do consider myself fairly economically populist (left economically ideologically if you need that frame), but this sort of nauseous midwittery is making me reconsider.
I wonder, what came first, progressivism taking over the bureaucracy, or progressivism taking over capital?

This is the tell that the whole "debate" is a total MacGuffin. Owning is obviously better than renting *for people who are capable,* but a lot of the people buying homes are not naturally inclined.
As with all our b*llsh*t "debates" on here, this is easy downstream of anything that matters. If you're upset about this stuff and you're reading any of my tweets, you're misguided. You absolutely can buy a nice/decent house on a middle class income right now*
This might be changing with inflation, immigration, etc, and there are some markets where it's impossible, but *right now* you can do this.

Investment Capital buying up homes to rent is partly to dodge a repeat of the subprime crisis, imo. The problem is human capital and governance (30 year fixed rate seems...unnatural).
"oh, we're going to make sure that people do are totally incapable of paying a mortgage can live outside the hood" can only take so many paths before running into religious conflicts.
Blackrock is buying 200k homes in mediocre neighborhoods? Buying nice homes in nice neighborhoods? Buying old homes? New? My mortgage (with taxes) isn't much higher than the rent on an apartment 2/3 the size of my house around here.

You can see the pillars of faith starting to formalize here.
What hadn't occurred to me until now is that an old argument I've seen and used, that "green" people are actually watermelons (environmental veneer on communist center) is an insufficient explanation of the green movement.
The green movement is now circling in on a divine (unfalsifiable) locus (human driven climate change) that is reverse engineering Gaia worship. If you view "environmentalism" as an idea or ideology encompassing healthy stewardship of nature, you're going to be exasperated.

Trying to find a way to articulate the spectrum of cargo cult to idolatry that is useful. Many cargo cultists who realize that the divine exists within a thing, but aren't forced into faith.
Not sure I have the language and reading to articulate this, so I will try to work around my limitations.
If we look at an idol, we have a (relatively) well delineated idea, represented by a single figure, a mythos that articulates the boundaries of the idea or ideas through narrative.
