Actually Prof Hennessy, I have realized that like that atrocious song “Everything I do, I do it for you”, one way or another everything I do, think etc in the last 14-16 years is one way or another a tribute to you.

In a twisted way, I am actually grateful to you. For at least being someone one can in theory address. I have never looked at a single other human from Google at any level ever (at least Google US and I am too wary by now to have human compunction for anyone local..at least your creeps are over there…these guys are here) and had a judgement more favorable, best case, than dead-eyed, sleazy cultist.
And I imagine a slew of sleazy nouveau grift biographies and rubbish is on the way as these guys are replaced by ai and there will be heroic stories and movies and songs.

Because in the last 20 years that has become the predominant mode of human existence and I disagree with my friends on the real left (Sam Miller MacDonald, Yasha Levine, Matt Stoller, Alec Karakatsanis, Briahna Joy Gray, the Ehrliches circa the seventies, Peter Kalmus, Valerie Solanas) etc that the ravaging disease afflicting everything can be reduced to any one thing: Progress, Capitalism, Anti-trust, Policing, Racism, Overpopulation, Fossil Fuels, Feminism (if there is a version of feminism online that isn’t “I want to discuss my periods!”, I have not seen it. Why? What could possibly be gained? Who made these things most of what was discussed in the last 20 years..it is usually some piece of shit male celebrity who wants to discuss periods..can you just pervert? I even have to discuss things with disgust so that this pervert fest out there doesn’t see any engagement outside the outright truculent as..I felt like 500 kinds of shit, but at no point did I think discussing my periods or bowel movements with Ol’Hennessy will fix things).

They are all individual areas where this disastrous and now interconnected machine from hell is dragging us with each new crisis.
Why are we so interconnected? So we all go down or to hell with your pet creeps and frauds.

They went too far in wanting full capture.
I thought this was something DUer marble_falls came up with “Piggies get fed and hogs get slaughtered”, but apparently it is a saying.

And I will anger some of DU and risk being viewed as “russian influenced” etc which is untrue. I am Ol’jfz9580m influenced alone.

But I have been miserably scanning what information I can even focus…btw it is yet another day spent serenading Prof Hennessy.
I may be your only fan Prof Hennessy, but I make up for that with the intensity of my fandom.

I kind of am a fan. I am never anything but inadvertently complimentary…so I am not ingratiating you so much as reassuring you (we are almost not anything like friends) because..Except for your Google creeps, I tend to have compunction and that is not going well as more and more of these confused people with no cohesive worldview..

Sovietski Yah! Nastikoff Bah! Only Ol’jfz9580m has a cohesive, appropriately proportioned set of interlinked priorities.

In fairness, I did give it a shot and try to roleplay victim to this totally sleazy gambit your fellow travellers throw at one which is thrown something ridiculously hyperbolic at a person, riddled with so many simultaneous logical inconsistencies (which then mutates and grows), that the average honest human with some sort of internally consistent logical framework is baffled as to which part of this loathesome and unfair garbage to respond to,

Now having had one horrifying peek bts or fts -who can even tell…you know I was never a very good scientist, but I used to be a semi normal person where pot use was the only outlier wrt behavior. And come on professor- most people you seem to know are perverts, prostitutes, pirates (what sort of diseased mindset sees piracy as a cool and something to emulate?) and parasites..what is all this pearl clutching over a moderately large amount of pot?

Pot never made me anywhere as dysfunctional as Google did.

The thing about you Prof Hennessy (you are fwiw as far as I am concerned the standard bearer for your army of awful CS creeps.. one can at least talk to you..I usually think unprintable things about your fellow Google creeps..such an insipid and fatuous crowd that lies to itself nonstop and comes up with novel ways to assail and torment people while blaming bots, algorithms or the targets..as if those things all just sprouted up on their own) is you see a crisis and where ordinary sane rationalist may look at a pandemic and think..maybe factory farms and wet markets are the problem and once this crisis is over, we should move away from this exploitative form of animal abuse.
This isn’t really political so much as at least a vague notion of how things work together in a healthy or at least healthier state if we must all be connected to some minimal extent.
The way things are going Lina Khan’s moves in the right direction (though anti trust alone is scant use if we are all scammed by Perplexity or some other unwanted creepware. Actually grudgingly.. Eeugh..I could stand paens to Hawley more than Apple..he is at least elected. Still Apple’s opt out was the sole thing I saw in the last 15 years which was an instance of a tech co getting user priorities..they are price gougers and annoying, but prior to deciding irreversibly that only a criminal lawsuit getting as many of the serious culprits higher up..not you Prof!..I will file it and you are in the clear..I am not an agent etc)

Because at this rate as your boys get more and more overtly inept and worried that the hogging may face resistance, they will seriously fucking nuke the planet. They are the types to kick over the table,
Seriously professor..with our way skimpier resources and embattled the very few I follow outside science are doing so much more.

I promise professor, I will finish this paper and file a criminal lawsuit in India and malpractice and misconduct allegations and get them to stick plus a legal precedent that is not an Apple phone with an optout and manufactured use case. For that alone I should start working so I can have faith in my ability to follow throw beyond serenading your Prof. Hennessy.
I made progress on this paper despite conditions that were hellish inside my head and not due to any native illness but this shit.

I can do more than talk Prof Hennessy. I don’t think these guys get it.
The person who actually got it it Adam Becker.
I really like Adam. He is so cool. Unlike those bloviating hucksters you promote Prof Hennessy, like that Marc Andreessen and the other execrable specimens in Adam’s book, Adam is like most real scientists. He is mild, humble, highly intelligent and to blame for not having done something about these parasites sooner and now they bought a bunch of cheap shit from China and Russia riddled with ransomware and looked at porn or worse and will torment and deplete all of us prioritizing futuristic reputation management into 2800 over any peace of mind for the rest of us.

My favorite piece last year was the interview between Chris Ketcham and Adam Becker. It was very symbolically relevant if symbolism can go beyond

He identified it: the limits to growth. Like most white people who have seen the Betsy Hartmanns, The Nation types, Naomi Kleins and Teen Vogue persistently chip away at common sense from the “left” and shill new agey bullshit…over a simple concept that it is not offensive at all (given how little respect you have for human or any life anyway) for public health officials to overtly point out that with falling infant mortality, we should have pointed out long back (especially this disgustinf crimjnal and parasitic crew who tried to turn me into a research subject over marijuana..these fucking prostitutes who are concerned about the “burden” of drug use etc) that it is not ideal for everyone to keep having more than 1-2 kids. When you can barge and basically make free with my life, you can suck up some feedback from the “addict”. I don’t breed, consume and bullshit at this rate at least.


The fixes in this society are all piecemeal and they often exacerbate or the lay the groundwork for new problems.


Consider this criminal lawsuit I will file and the misconduct, malpractice and harassment allegations I file a real world degrowth signal Prof Hennessy. Because your people Prof Hennessy truly behave like super-fit cancer cells..by your people I mean creeps, sleazebags, prostitutes, parasites..the type of scurrying men and silly women (well that one woman agreeing with the duckspeak guy) that your Si Valley produces ad nauseum.
And yes they pervert language, the left..

My throat hurts 🙄..I have so much more to say to you Prof Hennessy..this is all your fault..you are not stupid or a bad person..
This is the first time in my life I have ever talked voluntarily where it was not my best friend from grad school, my ex or one of your horrible proteges who never responds after generally behaving as can be expected of anyone misguided enough to be a protege of yours.
