  • Certainly true to an extent, but I’d argue the biggest supporters of dark enlightenment only see technocracy as a stepping stone and are trying everything to get to the end goal. They don’t want people to be voted into power based on their tech background, they want power exclusively and without challenge.

    Musk in the White House, big balls in our tax systems, etc, was all supposed to hop the accelerationism train towards technocracy until it was clear that years and years of paper and software systems spread across thousands of employees are wildly complex and you can’t just throw an alt-right Ivy League grad with unlimited copilot credits to solve the problem.

    The US is the most obvious example though, as you mentioned, multiple countries are trying that slow creep into technocracy, but I still see that as blowing money into governments for the super rich in the tech sector getting the power they are craving.

    Funny enough in a true technocracy you’d never have musk, bezos, cook, etc in power. They aren’t nearly as smart as the people they employ. But those people who would be in power generally don’t give a fuck about others. They’re the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun of today’s age. They’d pursue their goals regardless of outcome, because technological advancement is all that matters to them

    Yeah my old apartment had one shared old ass boiler in the basement for the whole building, like 35 units.

    I would have to wake up super early for my job, and in the spring/summer when the boiler wasn’t on to heat the radiators, I would often be the one to kick start it by turning my hot water on.

    It would take like 10 minutes to heat up so I’d just run the shower on low pressure and get a few more minutes of sleep

    The wording appears to have circulated widely on Facebook as a viral chain, rather than being an original post by Walters-Sanford, who did not indicate whom she was referring to.

    Full Text of image she shared:

    People lack accountability, then say, “You could’ve talked to me.” No, I couldn’t. You don’t listen. You deflect. You twist everything into an attack and then play the victim. Conversations with you aren’t healing-they’re exhausting, draining, and emotionally suffocating. Every time I try to speak, it feels like walking through a maze of blame where my words are used against me, my intentions questioned, and my emotions invalidated. I end up questioning myself, doubting my own perceptions, because nothing I say lands without being turned into some justification for your behavior.

    I’ve spent too long bending, softening, and framing my words to fit the narrative you want, hoping for connection, for understanding, for a simple acknowledgment of reality. But it never comes. Instead, there’s defensiveness, twisting, and manipulation, all while you act like the wronged party. And honestly, I can’t-and | won’t-invest my emotional energy in someone who consistently prioritizes winning over understanding, control over empathy, and excuses over responsibility.

    Sure, but to someone running a website out of their house, 100,000 bots trying to hit the site at the same time to scrape it is going to have the same effect. So yes, you’re correct, Anubis has nothing to do with stopping a literal DDoS attack, but it does help smaller websites stay alive by avoiding responding to requests from scrapers or one-off malicious agents.
