I just bought a humanoid robot servant! I also got a machine that lets her do chores in my house.

You ever see a random shitpost video, like the backgroud music, look it up and realize you already have the vinyl record? That just happened to me.

Exactly. It’s one thing to claim “nice comes from Latin nescius meaning ignorant therefore nice means stupid” and another to say “octopus and helicopter mean the same thing because helicopter comes from helico- meaning helical or spiral and pter meaning wing.”

Hehe, Nescius Moldbug.

Ooh, pants-on-head stupid semantics nonsense detected.

First, the government needs to be run top-down from the Oval Office. This is why we call it the “executive” branch. “Executive” is a literal synonym of “monarchical”—from “mono,” meaning “one,” and “archy,” meaning “regime.” “Autocratic” is fine too. The “executive branch” is the “autocratic branch,” or should be if English is English. Libs: if these words don’t mean what they mean, what do they mean?

Executive, as in pertaining to execution. Executing the the duties of a government as defined by legislation. Where the fuck did Curtsy get the impression that “executive” is somehow synonymous with “monarchical”? Did he mix it up with “exclusive”? Even corporations often have multiple executives with different roles.

Mr. Thiel you have so much fucking money couldn’t you afford a fascist philosopher king who is more intelligent than this guy who thinks an “executioner” is a guy that makes you a dictator?

It’s weird how you can always find autocracy supporters in every era despite the overwhelmingly strong and incredibly obvious counterargument “what if the autocrat wants to do something you don’t like”

To be fair, the typesetting of the papers is quite pleasant and the pictures are nice.
