“Political Ponerology: A Science on the Nature of Evil Adjusted for Political Purposes is a book by Polish psychiatrist Andrzej Łobaczewski that explores the nature of evil in political systems, arguing that it stems from a "pathological" minority (psychopaths, narcissists, etc.) who manipulate and corrupt society, leading to phenomena like war, genocide, and despotism. The book, first published in 1984, combines psychology, sociology, and history to analyze how these individuals rise to power and create a "pathocracy"

Quotes of the day:

I am cool with the AI and robots as long as I get to do my passions and actually feel like I am valued (money + living).

Pretty sure everyone is with me on this. The only part I object to is all of the money and power at the top. Open Source and Local!

To which the Karl Marx Socialist responds:

We all want that but what you just described is not the reality under our capitalist system and it will never be. AI is being used to further widen the wealth gap and will ultimately be used to replace us. What you’re describing is how AI could be under a socialist system.

* Solution is always more socialism…(course the Capitalists, he abhors, are nothing of the sort.)

* The billionaires sponge off government contracts - your tax dollars. Some do build up to the wealth naturally - but intel, law firms, bankers will control that size of the growth (financing/capital, regulations/enforcement, sabotage and intellectual property theft, scandals, plants to create havoc, et. al.)

* If you want to be VALUED, you would want minimal government and governance (never will get the ideal utopia) and low, or no taxes. (Create revenues off trade imports - usage fees (roads/ports/air transport/data) - link your economy to a stable non-fiat monetary system.)

* But the wars over land, resources, hustles and cons can’t occur “successfully” without FIAT currency, burdensome taxes, and a population designed to be expendable…and stuck thinking magic is going to happen.

22 pound drone 20 stories up (approximately). If it falls out of the sky, onto a person, that person won’t be breathing too well, if at all.

And it rides, to a crime scene, far away!

And I fly, to observe your life away!

Take your RIGHTS away!

Matador in Texas. Meta in Louisiana. Military Stratos in Utah.

From Gemini AI off Google:

"The Stratos Project is a proposed 40,000-acre hyperscale data center and energy campus in Box Elder County, Utah, backed by MIDA and O'Leary Digital. On May 4, 2026, Box Elder County commissioners approved the development agreement, which plans to generate up to 9 gigawatts of on-site power, aiming to support AI development, create thousands of jobs, and “boost national security,” despite significant public outcry over environmental impact and resource usage.

Said outcry can be visited below
