for those tracking John Carmack's descent into right wing total moral disorientation, he's now at "Palmer Luckey should buy Wired and do to it what Elon Musk did to Twitter".
he's full fash at this point. totally gonna deliver AGI by 2030 though.
increasingly disgusting that he named his shitass company after Commander Keen, a joyful little video game from before he became a millionaire and was empowered to become his worst self.

@jplebreton here goes another idol. Thanks for sharing for those of us who aren't on Twitter anymore.

I'm starting to believe modesty is the greatest virtue in a man. As soon as a guy goes "why, I am actually smarter than everyone else", this happens ^.

@isagalaev on one level i don't think the problem is with his faculties of self-assessment at all, i think he's still probably relatively humble and self-critical. on another, yeah he believes in the bell curve and that inequality is natural and fine, and with that comes the deep glaring inhumane vanity of the 20something millionaire. his axioms about humanity and society are so flawed it invalidates practically every well-formed thought that's ever come into his head.
