    build these tools with a clear conscience.

    Because if they don’t their masters they will become destitute and starve while homeless

    And all social interaction happen at veiled gunpoint

    Under these conditions it is no surprise at all that conscience plays no role whatsoever, it is just a savage free-for-all for survival happening under our cursed star, an insane 10 billion years long churning of thinking meat, consciousness behind birthed into the wreckage, screaming uncomprehendingly at what is happened until it soon it is just as easily, mercifully and meaninglessly snuffed out again.

    Fortunately we have a shot at scorching the surface of this planet thanks to global warming and really the question is, can we make it happen before we genocide ourselves, leaving this planet’s biosphere still capable of sustaining the horrors of life ?

        I met some real people this week, they were watching advertising.
        They thought the government cared about them.
        One wanted to upgrade their car to add another 100 horsepower they cannot use anywhere.
        Another told me, he does not like raising cows but he had to get more cows to make it more economical to raise cows.
        They were all bummed out that the end of the end of the week was upon us, and soon they would have to work 40 hours in the next 5 days, doing things they stopped liking doing a long time again, if they ever did at all.
