40. I forgive my former colleagues in science from 2011-2012
Tue Apr 14, 2026, 12:44 AM
Yesterday

I could not have envisioned anything this fucking stupid.

And no. Fuck this type of mob populism.

And I would avoid the Bible bangers I stayed with when I first went there.
I am already not contemptuous etc. But I don’t want to spend all my time belaboring the obvious.

It is very pushy and intrusive. It is easier culturally for me to understand when I see it here India- same dynamics and male idiots with a supporting cast of sleazy women.

And expecting to pass along with all the people going about their lives.

Just NO.
I never understood these internet people. All their language and ways of thinkjng are so alien. Save the world! Cassandra!!!

Who thinks like that? It is grandiose and outright wrong. But it doesn’t mean you have to reinvent the wheel all the fucking time.

I stand with my colleagues and I am reporting all the rest -in some cases to the police or at least civilian regulators.

This lawyer Aziz Huq gets it and I am not saying one should be rigid.
But this is bullshit.

No. It isn’t about throwing everything away.
Good grief.

I would like to especially thank the Freedom from Religion Foundation. I am never rude or bigoted. That doesn’t mean that stuff that has no basis at all in reality with various warring clans and factions throwing away environmental issues, science, women’s rights.
To return to what? Warlords mediated by tech?

No.

Thw reason Prof Lecun stood out to me is..yes..common sense. None of us are constitutional law experts. It is hard to be an expert in every damn thing. And it doesn’t mean that people are oblivious. But this cannot be justified as a teaching moment when a specific creepy and backward worldview has thrown out roughly four centuries of progress to cater to this fucking trash working in collusion with corrupt backward tech cos.
