David Sirota says that while the United States is now
“immersed in corruption” in a way that seems like an inevitable part of politics,
it is the result of a decades long agenda by the wealthy to deregulate the campaign finance system
and to essentially make anti-bribery laws unenforceable.
“This is all part of a plan by a corporate movement that sees democracy — the government providing what people want — sees that as a threat.”

Master Plan: David Sirota on Trump & the Decadeslong “Plot to Legalize Corruption in America”

Co-authored with Jared Jacang Maher, the book is based on their award-winning investigative podcast of the same name for The Lever. Sirota says that while the United States is now “immersed in corruption” in a way that seems like an inevitable part of politics, it is the result of a decadeslong agenda by the wealthy to deregulate the campaign finance system and to essent…

To further set my replies on fire, "disk" is not short for "diskette" (diskette is a diminutive and means "small disk").
Diskettes first showed up in 8" size, which may not seem particularly small but hard disks at the time were larger, often 14 inches (more than 3× the surface area of 8").
The 5¼" diskettes that followed were introduced as "mini-diskettes", or "small small disks".
3½" diskettes were "micro-diskettes", or "very small small disks".

It’s time to accept that the US supreme court is illegitimate and must be replaced
We need to remake the US high court so Americans don’t suffer future decades of

So I've read a lot of both academic and "popular" criticism of AI; spanning decades from the 1940s to now.
I think both things are good and proper and needed.
And further than that I posit that you actually need at least some bombastic and "flashy" writers in order to reach more people
What's kind of funny is that in many of the academic critiques of AI the authors comment on how their colleagues came belligerent and hostile towards them because "they aren't writing seriously"—this is found all over Weizenbaum, Dreyfus, Anders, etc.
Anyway, READ MORE OLD BOOKS :)
