so the wild bit here is that Hughes previously ranted over transhumanism’s hard-right turn as something Thiel personally did in the late 2000s as he tried to buy his way onto the IEET board

no, they are at best the colonial liberal strain of technoprogressive, and only “left” of the out and out techfash. the technoprogressive transhumanist offering is that in the future, everyone will be a middle class white man!

i mean, at least they thought the idea was to bring the rest of humanity along with them. but they still share in the same selection of poison pills. including “positive” eugenics, for example.

yes, way too much of it is. Taleb is extremely smart, but nobody is as smart as Taleb thinks he is.

someone said “imagine if you could fund open source development through crypto” and they thought “let’s spam devs on github”

well, precisely. Banks expected depositors would keep their money in the bank. This turned out to be incorrect when interest rates went up.
