@ConstitutiveLaw The term "crackpot realism" was new to me. I loved it, so I Googled and read a few articles about C. Wright Mills, who'd coined the phrase. Yep. On-target. Those who truly don't understand any of the world outside their narrow specialty as it fits within an unquestioned ideological framework. Thanks for the phrase--I will likely use it in the future.

I want to acknowledge that when I said “I argued in front of the Supreme Court” that may have been a slight exaggeration. What I mean to say was that I argued with my friend on the steps in front the building about whether American cheese is real cheese.

“The poorest half of the global population barely owns wealth: it owns just 2% of the total. By contrast, the richest 10% of the global population own 76% of all wealth.” https://wir2022.wid.world/chapter-1/ this is the world #AI is coming of age in. #Inequality #Sociology #WealthDistribution #IncomeInequality

@jessicacalarco Every 5 years, I think to myself "flying is much worse than I thought it would ever get." And yet it just keeps getting worse!

20th century flying: A fun, relaxing time to zone out
21st century flying: A Kafka-esque nightmare

New flight on Delta is costing my kid $500 more.
So many people in situations like this.

My response rates for polls on Twitter were 1-2%.

On Mastodon, it's 15-20%.

Twitter and Facebook throttle our natural engagement with our friends and family and colleagues.

They do it so brands will buy ads to reach people who already follow them.

I didn't realise how pronounced the effect is.

I'm angry.

For years, my connection with the people I care about has been diminished, intentionally, to support a losing advertising scheme.

I want that time with my friends and family back.

Actual conversation I had…

Me: Billionaire philanthropy is nothing more than PR. Tax billionaires.
Troll: Lol you trust the Govt to spend our money?
Me: Yes, the Govt is elected by We the People, and therefore is accountable to us and can be voted out.
Troll: Govt is bought.
Me: Bought by who?
Troll: By billionai—...😳
Me: ...🤔
Troll: Ok, Tax billionaires.
