  • I’ve seen people say there’s good weird and bad weird, and if you don’t mind calling yourself weird it’s probably the good kind.

    As for calling maga people weird I think it’s effective because their whole deal is about vibes. “We’re strong, we’re smart” and it really bothers them to be perceived otherwise. It’s also not something you can “debate”. Either people accept it or they don’t. What are you going to say “no, I’m not weird”? Sure thing buddy.





  • Every business’s biggest expense is labor. Skilled labor costs more. The people in charge like it when you save money.

    I think it’s wrong. But only because the interests of the people who own the machines and businesses diverge from the worker’s interests. I’d like to see more worker cooperatives. If the workers own the machines, then it’s good when things are automated.

    I also don’t believe anything will ever be truly automated, or that it’s a good idea to try.

    All that to say we don’t have to resort to an explanation of “managers must hate engineers” to understand why they would want to eliminate positions.
