Mullet Of Sadness

They are an Assistant Professor of Media Industries at New York University and literally just finished writing The Apple II Age: How the Computer Became Personal, a book on the history of the computer industry in the 70s.

Are we talking a girl who'll see her robot girlfriend and go "there you are! SMOOCH!" or are we talking a girl who'll see her robot girlfriend and get a vague sense of de ja vu, or we talking a girl who'll just have a predictable reaction and always fall in love with the same robot.

He’s so grumpy… I wonder what upset him…

"why don't they let any of the characters feel true disgust towards Jax and throw him to the wolves" like tell me you've never worked a job before; you kinda have to, under the circumstances of survival, work with people you don't like.

And beyond that, it's really, really hard to hate someone truly and deeply as an adult. How can you feel disgust for someone when they're younger than you and making horrible decisions that you might have when you were that age? I mean even being 25 with 18-20 year old friends who make shitty decisions or say shitty things, I can recognize I was just like that when I was that age and move on.

The difference is that socialism appeals to the good parts of human nature that literally form the backbone of society (altruism, cooperation, empathy, a sense of justice and fairness, etc) whereas capitalism outright incentivizes humanity's worst traits (selfishness, lack of empathy, greediness, ruthlessness, etc).

The thing that's so bad about capitalism is that it outright rewards and encourages being a fucking asshole. It incentivizes a willingness to knowingly cause harm to someone else for the sake of a financial benefit. Every element of our hyper-capitalist society rewards predatory behavior and lack of empathy towards other human beings and the environment itself. And our economic system seeks those ruthless, downright sociopathic people out and rewards them with vast amounts of capital and power.
