Does someone understand the following sentence?
“then present that knowledge in ways that break the virtuous cycle Wikipedia depends on.”
Did this…. Actually happen?
Yes, at 5:54 in "BREAKING NEWS: Trump Takes Phone Calls From Children Calling NORAD's Santa Claus Phone Line" - Forbes Breaking News (https://youtu.be/QRSrH3hfsos?t=354).
That's it. From now on I dedicate my life to siphoning as much money from these unethical soulless bastards as possible to divert it to society-beneficial non-profits. More Linux, more skateparks, better education, more affordable housing, universal healthcare, et cetera. Never have I ever loathed one person so much as Mark Zuckerberg.

Respect the artists, add the source. Goddamn it's not that difficult: Tommy Siegel @ https://imginn.com/p/DSnDl53Dvhd/.
In case the proxy website above doesn't work anymore, "DSnDl53Dvhd" is the post's id on that society-eroding website owned by that soulless billionaire.
Sources, humans, sources. Goddamn. Took me less than one minute. Higher quality image and good for the artist: https://falseknees.com/comics/268.html.
To those who sometimes feel bad by comparing themselves to "more accomplished" peers, the one-page CV on her website is clickable, it's actually six pages. Then realize your peers or you will never match Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, so be kind to yourself. You do matter too, firefly: https://ncase.me/fireflies/.
She's a one-in-a-century human such as Leonhard Euler: brilliant scientifically, ethically, and most importantly, still kind.
Quote from her talk Exploring Many Worlds at 35:31:
Q: “Graduate school is hard. I was once told by my dissertation advisor that it's not how smart you are, it's really how disciplined you are. And I was wondering if you could give us your reflections about persistence and tenacity in the context of advancing in your field.”
Sabrina: “I think the craziest thing is that you actually get advice like that. You get told things that no one should be telling you, that you're doomed or whatever. So if I wasn't happy doing this more mathematical research, that I should leave, and not that there's, maybe, ways to change it. So I think that persistence is a tricky thing because, again, it's like this cost-benefit analysis of where do you want your future to be, who do you have to deal with in the meantime to get there and whatnot. I think that maybe the sociology needs to change in that it shouldn't be like "this is the way things are", kind of that tough advice [tough love] type of thing. I don't like it because it sucks, it gets rid of diversity of thought.”
PS Sabrina didn't actually say "no" to Jeff "the unethical" Bezos, because she wanted to work for Blue Origin and held an internship there. Choosing theoretical physics instead doesn't mean she flipped him off—however nice that would've been indeed.
It actually does cause brain damage. I mentioned it in an essay (What if I paid for all my free software?):
For one, power causes brain damage which renders rich people literally incapable of knowing what is best for others:
“Subjects under the influence of power, he found in studies spanning two decades, acted as if they had suffered a traumatic brain injury—becoming more impulsive, less risk-aware, and, crucially, less adept at seeing things from other people’s point of view.”
“And when he put the heads of the powerful and the not-so-powerful under a transcranial-magnetic-stimulation machine, he found that power, in fact, impairs a specific neural process, “mirroring,” that may be a cornerstone of empathy.” ―Power Causes Brain Damage, by Jerry Useem for The Atlantic.[16]
“In June 2021, Reiner said that he was working on a 10- to 13-episode TV project covering the relationship between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump. The project, he said, would cover the leaders' childhoods up until the point where their lives cross.” ―https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Reiner#Political_views
Hmm 🧐.
Holy crap at the dude tackling one of the shooters.

Buy merch from your favourite artists/bands instead and be vocal about taxing the rich. Also stop using Instagram, TikTok, WhatsApp, et cetera. The EU Parliament has plenty of money, many artists do not, yet the latter have way more reach than wearing an EU t-shirt, and plenty of artists are vehemently against our whole corrupt system. E.g., Massive Attack, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, et cetera.
Oh come on, this has to be satire.
If tech bros really have become this robotic, then, as Robin William's Good Morning Vietnam script read:
“You are in more dire need of a blowjob than any white man in history.”

Thank you. Totally misinterpreted the word
presentas in being present, causing me to think the sentence didn't make sense. I need to sleep.
