@annaleen “Another long-termist, Bostrom’s FHI colleague Nick Beckstead, claims that saving the lives of more “economically productive” rich people is a greater priority than saving unproductive poor people, because this would accelerate “ripple effects” needed to increase chances of the desired future of massive space colonisation.” 🤮🤮

@annaleen Their nonsense goes into a black box and comes out Utopian Future. We're going to select perfect embryos. Ok, intelligence: we don't know where it is on the DNA. Or we'll select against bad stuff, but pretty much all embryos have something bad. We're not even close to knowing how to do this. Hell, we can't keep women safe through normal childbirth. We haven't maintained a single long-term enclosed environment but suddenly Mars. It's all smoke and mirrors for the half-smart.

@adamierymenko @annaleen He hasn't done any of what he claims to do.

His engineers did. He's a venture capital guy, that's it.

And of course George Shitringer and Richard ("Dick") Shittz.

I'm sorry, but it had to be done.

Members of Congress take an oath to "defend the Constitution."

Trump just called for the Constitution to be "terminated."

How can a member of Congress support Trump without violating their oath?
