Reminds me I need to back up and Otherwise Acquire my various playlists.

Still ticked off at Spotify for removing the Make Current Playlist option.

And that back one track doesn’t work for queued tracks.

Still no filter available on artists pages.

3 things reasonable people should be able to agree on:

1) BF x-risk is non-negligible
2) There are things we can do to reduce BF x-risk
3) Mitigating BF x-risk is an ethical priority

Notably absent:
- BF is imminent
- BF x-risk is the most important problem

And no, I'm not going to explain what BF is or why I think it is definitely something that will happen in a way that makes it an actual threat.

There's a particular perspective I've noticed, which consists of treating the left as rational individuals possessed of moral responsibility, and the right as mindless sociopathic zombies that need to be managed and contained.

And this perspectives leads to admonitions that we should never 'provoke' right wingers. And that left wingers should be 'responsible'.

It's weird, because it implicitly endorses the truth of the situation, whilst continuing to apply the facade of democratic proceduralism to something that goes beyond what our liberal order can realistically cope with.
