I'm trying to parse that Chomsky quote. I mean first off the idea that Nixon was charismatic threw me for a loop, but I'll just ignore that. Then when he said "honest, charismatic figure" my first thought was Obama, because I consider Obama charismatic and reasonably honest. But I guess by "figure" he means, like, "fascist, demagogic, racist figure"? So I guess he's saying if someone comes along who is charismatic, and honest, and a racist demagogue, then we'd be in trouble? But then how can you be both honest and also a racist demagogue? I guess if your racism was sincere and wasn't just craven? I don't know. Anyway I presume whatever definition of 'honest' he's using doesn't apply to Trump, so if Chomsky is right, Trump, as an "obvious crook", will eventually "destroy himself".
Obama doesn't fit the figurehead model in the quote because he never tried the thing Chomsky dreaded: point to a new "enemy" as the cause of our problems.
um why are we not talking about how you can now, for $600, host your wedding at taco bell
Because we're not old and knew about this weeks ago. Old.

Also spool since you don't bother giving ME fatherly advice I'm just going to make the blunderbuss and flintlock all kitted out and keep the percussion rifle stock.
Confirmed Bleric is magical because I was just about to ask spool where she was since I haven't seen her here in a morning or two and as I started drafting this she posted.
Yeah I'm glued to my phone for much of my life but when Pinecone shows up in often let it die or even forget it places

I knew you could make a solid choice if i gave you the space to find your way there.

Isn't it pretty easy to define consciousness as just the process of the brain physically doing stuff like the difference between the program and the program actually running?

No, we can't define consciousness with a purely physical paradigm.

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

The brain does stuff unconsciously as well.
Or even after death.
