    Blame the algorithms, but yes otherwise you are correct. Being an intransigent shithead is a pathway to success in this world. The bully is rewarded endlessly while the victim is stigmatized.

    All of history’s greatest figures in our mind are people with the biggest body counts. Napoleon killed a whole generation of young men in Europe and was basically his era’s Hitler. Today he has Fanboys who rush to defend him online.

    That’s why Putin invades Ukraine and dgaf about bodies because he’s playing to an audience 300 years in the future who also dgaf about the victims anymore than we care about Napoleonic war casualties.

    We are a species of savage assholes and we survive today as the beneficiary’s of that legacy.









  • I’ve had like three primary email accounts since the dawn of the popular internet in the 90’s

    The first was Hotmail because that was a big deal at the time.

    The second was google because the interface was slick and it came with (what was at the time) a lot of free storage.

    The third is protonmail specifically because after decade+ on Google I realized they pretty much have the keys to the kingdom on my life’s data. All my personal relationships and business being filtered through their inbox for a long-ass time. Just because they “know me” inside out for a significant part of my life doesn’t mean I gotta just keep feeding them data indefinitely.
