I think you missed the point.
"The blade determined what could be said and by whom and for how long. After him β through this gift, this one voluntary act on a morning in Athens β the word precedes the blade. The argument outlasts the execution. The question survives the silencing. This is not a metaphor."
Socrates is the greatest hero in the history of the human species. Not as a philosopher. As the first political revolutionary. His friends arranged a boat. He drank the hemlock instead. Every free institution we've ever built followed from that choice. I wrote about why that matters right now.
AI slop is McLuhan's observation about mass media made even more vulgar. We tired of Bruckheimer movies for the same reason: all the formal properties of meaning, none of the substance that communicates anything meaningful at all.
We are not just going to lie down and die.
If anyone is wondering why I am posting about science, even as I say this is the greatest political crisis of the modern age, I would suggest to everyone that we should keep ourselves grounded in truth, as we take a step. One in front of the other. Towards our task of pushing the boulder.

Not Epstein. Not affordability. Not any of the other genuine emergencies that the consulting class has decided are more electorally tractable. The Constitution. The oath. The mechanism the Founders left us for exactly this moment. That is the protest. Organize it.

Don't be depressed. Act.
American citizens, if I can ask you to take a break from watching war porn, and the latest revelation from the Epstein scandal, and other such evil happenings, and read this. I make the request, as fruitless as it may be for most people, because they prefer distraction to action.
