Just an anecdote but I'm seeing more people in my circle turn to Orthodoxy as protestants do their usual thing and we see some serious issues in the Catholic Church. Here are some nice 'anti-modernist papal encyclicals' if the low IQ approach of protestantism or the growing modernism in Catholicism is bothering you:

On Liberalism and Religious Indifferentism (Mirari vos, 1832) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/greg16/g16mirar.htm

On the Restoration of Christian Philosophy (Aeterni Patris, 1879) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/leo13/l13cph.htm

On Capital and Labor (Rerum novarum, 1891) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/leo13/l13rerum.htm

On the Doctrine of the Modernists (Pascendi Dominici gregis, 1907) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius10/p10pasce.htm

On Christian Marriage (Casti connubii, 1930) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11casti.htm

On Atheistic Communism (Divini Redemptoris, 1937) - https://www.papalencyclicals.net/pius11/p11divin.htm

UBI would be rad if they weren't going to link it to a CBDC - but they will simply because labour has no more bargaining power in that sort of world. You'll get what you're given and you vill like it.

I reckon that a software developer has built a certain mental sophistication within themselves that will always be one step above the rest of the prompters because a brainlet in charge of AI prompts is still a brainlet.

From 1870 to 1910, annual consumption per capita rose from 1.7 gallons of alcohol to a peak of 2.6 gallons. Prohibition raised the costs of consumption, created legal risks for violators, and, in much of the country, helped create a widely accepted “dry” culture. Consumption of alcohol from 1920 to 1925 fell by 50 to 70 percent, and fell by 30 percent for the entire period of prohibition, which was the steepest decline in the whole of American history. Rates of cirrhosis of the liver dropped by 10 to 20 percent, deaths from acute alcoholism fell from 7.3 per 100,000 people in 1907 to 2.5 in 1932, and arrests for public drunkenness and rates of alcoholic psychosis declined as well.

People who peddle opiates need a shotgun shoved in their mouths, and so do the users.

Maybe, but if I had ties to a convicted pedophile, child sex trafficker and politician blackmailer for mossad I would hope my response when confronted about it would draw more scrutiny than Noams did when he said "First response is that it is none of your business. Or anyone’s."

A few people on 4chan's /g/ technology board used to write to him regularly to keep him updated on the horridness of modern technology and always got a letter back. He always complained about censorship of his mail.
