You know Prof Hennessy,
This is the worst thing I have ever seen.
I..do..not..want..to..hear..it Prof Hennessy.

Are you even around Prof Hennessy? I have to give it to you..You start all this shit (basically) and you are nowhere to be found.

This dumb loathesome kayfabe filled gameworld of yours that is now infecting so much of reality is a fucking curse. It is the dumbest fucking people (I am too irked to be polite..I hate this position of ..the way I see it, you can go around being hideously clunky and awful..but don’t recruit the dumbest fucking people in every motherfucking group as representatives of the group as a whole and I am filing allegations and charges) who sign up for this willingly.

I am okay with escalating this. I am not okay with promoting this. It defies common sense and is parasitic.

What is the idea? That after I saw this shameful, disgraceful, craven, accountability free, fucking shitshow, that next I should be a formal participant in this grotesquerie or one of the equally lamebrained daft bystanders (not Du or the few academics, doctors, people I like..but all the rest of those types who stand around and vapidly stare at things with each minute they do that being recorded as another minute this Darwin Awards candidate spends looking at this disgraceful and vulgar brawl you have forced me into)?
I am not doing that. This thing is like kudzu.
It is this invasive bullshit - a rubbishy, new gross and pointless disease.

And now people will come and stare at it online because you Prof Hennessy are spectacular.

The only fix for virality is when people get that only douchebags and very rarely cool people (which is not a single person in my state except perhaps my oncologist, who really doesn’t need the self esteem boost of watching morons being morons online) come and stare at these trainwrecks..

Lol..I am torn between laughter and exasperation which this brainless crowd processes as positive.

Apparently if you don’t say “How dare you sir?” and draw yourself up to your full height or slap someone and say “Nahi -main tumhaari maa, behen, beti hoon!” 😤 ( I know Hindi! I learnt it from textbooks not that shitty Bollywood! 10th standard (bare) pass! A discredit to Kendriya Vidyalaya and various other educational institutions!) or “you damn misogynist, fascist or nazi!”
The point of these methods is to turn humans into grotesque caricatures. That only works with the kinds of people you like. That kind of response is exactly what those types when work with. What they don’t seem to like is being ignored and now I am goaded into this.

This cannot go on. It is really dumb.

That stuff is not my style..you are welcome to all the trash data and Joost Meerloo’s “Rape of the Mind” driven stereotypical behaviors you forced. That was garbage information like most of what I got!

My response would normally be more a silent “what a collection of embarassingly vapid morons”. And back in the day before I was embroiled in these things, if I was never one of these guys, I would still have been one of those slack-jawed, dimwitted bystanders going “huh..durrrrr. Well okay..at least I am not that stupid” and stare with glazed eyes and the sad self-esteem boost of staring at even dafter people.

Just because I joke, doesn’t mean this thing isn’t a fucking embarassment and no..not to me. I was a mediocre and lousy scientist and a pot user. The rest of this is some form of collective brain damage in all cultures, races, both genders, all religions.

What is actually kind of heartwarming and very rainbow coalition here is my intuition that every group will be represented in statistically proportionate numbers, adjusted for many factors. These are the people who all disgrace every group they are in and make it about intragroup wars because unlike the rest of us who come together based on shared core values and differences we respect, these people tarnish the groups they belong to and set off various pointless inter group wars which are useful to your creepy little billionaires.

It is in a way almost heartwarming except not..it is gross and awful and all your fault. You are the father of Silicon Valley!

What this actually looks like to me looking back..an unfond trip down memory lane..is the kind of daft project where a collection of CS creeps computer “scientists” and economists and other assorted douchebags others (I have manners!) sat down and based on a pile of illicitly and creepily gathered data thought “Gee..here I am a douchebag in CS and a creepy prolific snoop humanitarian..here are all these problems in society I can fix while building a craptacular and lopsided and meaningless “model of the world” with ai. Let me overrule or confuse (token residual “niceness”) all these natural scientists, ecologists, doctors, earth scientists, environmentalists, honest journalists/cybersecurity/military and recruit a collection of the lamest, sleeaziest followers who go along with anything if a vaguely pseudoprogessive or bullshit efficiency spiel is tacked on to something creepy they take to like fish to water and for good measure since we need some fall guys judges/jury/observers, i.e some well-intentioned but clueless people. We will then ger rid of all the icky oversight and regulation that actually has a damn point like environmental laws, labor laws, anything preventing the implicit or explicit sexual harassment of women or bullying of the worst off and most easily exploited and intimidated people forced into this, that could eat into our grimy profits. Further we will bs about “prison reform” while implicitly using narcotics laws extortionately, exploit marijuana users, marijuana companies and force a Reefer Madness driven insistence on rubber stamping by the most incompetent shrinks available who ignore conflicts of interest like data mining and will bully and break the spirit of anyone who treats this as the mockery of reality it is and one day we will all disgracefully scramble to blame each other but oh wait we are too stupid and myopic to get that. So that wasn’t part of the plan” .

That was kind of a wrong number if I was cast as the oppressed female. And so you went straight to crazy.

Pretty devious.

Thanks to you, now this is online..awesome!
I have had to cobble together the least “crazy” response I have because..wtf am I supposed to say? Pretend to buy into this? I just couldn’t tell what it was.
I thought it was Blackwater or something..I was kinda scared. But I see now, it is something likw that..But like the Unbreakable Kimmy, I thought the world outside was completely inaccessible. But it may not be.
This is the worst thing ever.

I am back to my old self ..but just because I am laughing it doesn’t mean it is not seriously just terrible. That is just my normal reaction to things I mock to my mom, my best friend and ex and didn’t expect to be anywhere near.
I saw that thing and I immediately knew it is the exact type of thing I avoid because it has absolutely no positives.
This is really bad. It is all CS and economics and hyperlibertarian theft from the honest parts of the state and honest small businesses and of people..
I always hated the politics of EECS. It is so superficial and unscientific and worst it actually feeds a genuine JD Vance style regression as people end up blaming modernity, science and technology rather than the worst implementations of those things.
