Yesterday, POGO released information on a new investigation showing that officials of the current regime are aligned with (and profiting financially from their alignment with) the tech bro manosphere – surprising, I suppose, absolutely no one. If anyone is surprised, it’s probably because when they think of tech, they think STEM, which does require intelligence – but forget they there are different kinds of intelligence (or different ways of perceiving the universe other then through intelligence – the jury is still out on which is more accurate), and it is clearly possible to be highly competent, even expert, in a limited specialty while not understanding the first thing about the real world.
Robert Reich quotes in full an essay from the Daily Yonder regarding how real people are coping with the regime and the uncertainty.
