Paying double and getting paid half so the epstein class can live like swine.

Come and see the violence inherent in the compulsory gender binary

I am happy being a misfit.

Nobody loves their job. Everybody would rather spend their time doing something else. Why wouldn’t we automate all of this and set the workers free?

The end of wage labor is a victory for humanity. With strong progressive policies, we can transition to a post labor utopia within a few decades.

As a perceived 'smart person' (which I often think just means 'paying attention') let me gently inform y'all that people have been offloading their intellectual labor on other humans for a very long time. 1/2

Intrinsic joy in our labors has always been a core goal of anticapitalist thinking.

The open web is still there and WordPress is still free …. All we have to do is go back to using it.

Never forget, the internet is a commons. It is a functioning example in living memory that people remember fondly. The violence of enclosure is tangible and undeniable. Don't let the power of that slip away.

Environmental problems have solutions.

I'm writing a book called Unlearning Empire where I use recovery principles, familiar to millions of Americans, to show how the collective conscious can recover from oligarchy and free ourselves from addiction to money and power.

We are squandering centuries of our ancestors’ groundwork by failing to meet this moment with a compelling vision. Let’s leverage their brilliance - our inheritance - and gift our descendants with a post-labor utopia.

In a time of rapid change, vision is how we light the way forward. Whose vision for automation technology should shape the next 250 years?

"Leadership in post-truth America doesn't mean getting better at working around broken mental models. It means naming them. The ask isn't 'run more Platner-coded candidates.' The ask is authenticity.” mysticmikester.com/the-template...

This is actually the secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord

At this point getting taxed is about the least horrific of likely possibilities for the epstein class. They should be leading the charge for their own safety.

I set up a late payment with my phone provider but their system glitched out and charged on the due date anyway and now there's a train wreck if I don't fix it ASAP. Can anyone help? Venmo: @mikesteraz Cash App: $mikeshipley Zelle/PayPal: [email protected] I'm sorry please don't hate me. 😭

I’m trying out an app called OpenVibe to see if it helps me shift my attention from Facebook. I feel torn because I need my monetization revenue there. I wish I could just deactivate. If you like my memes, help me reach escape velocity with a subscription!!

Exactly. The neoliberals are the problem.

Looking at war news and this has to be the day the bubble pops, right? They can’t keep buying and selling oil that doesn’t exist for much longer can they? there’s already an energy crisis in most of the world. The “economy” is a massive collective hallucination we’re all conscripted into at birth.

I gave the message this week for the Llama Pack and you can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts.

The pope did not “declare war on AI”. What he actually said was that AI is a tool that takes on the character of whoever controls it. If profit controls it, it serves profit, if human dignity controls it, it serves humanity.

Imagine reading a history book and learning that the hell you're living under could have been paradise if your ancestors had taken decisive action. The entire spectrum of possibilities is on the table. Why are we letting geriatric oligarchs stop us from taking from what's ours?

The archetype of death and resurrection teaches us to let go of things that are passing away so that new ones can be born. This world is passing away and that's scary, but the birth of a better one is really exciting. What do you see emerging around you?

Yep I have said this for years and debated this many times with many people as someone who grew up in poverty myself. Crime and substance abuse are symptoms of systemic failure, not the cause of it. The system works how those at the top want, it isn't built for us.
