Louise Perry (of The Case Against the Sexual Revolution) writes on Modernity’s Self Destruct Button. I’d love to give a pithy quote to summarize, but there’s a lot of content. Demographic change is something we’re in no way prepared for, it will drive the big socio-political changes of the next 50 years, and if you think “pro-natalists” such as Vance and Musk are addressing it, don’t be silly.
post: torrent.
This news story helped me understand the technology that allowed me (and many others) to receive a daily torrent of text spam throughout the runup to the election. (Just campaign scams, I’m glad to say, no hate messages.) Why are companies like this allowed to exist, companies that allow people to spew text messages from anonymized, randomly-generated phone numbers? I don’t see any free-speech arguments.
