<p>The Atlantic just sent out this article, speculating why the stock market is behaving the way it is. I may be wrong, but it seems like NOW is the time for a General Strike.

<p>Ok, let’s check out this Wired article about vibe coding:</p><p>&gt; “One engineer at Notion compared the economic panic of this AI era to when the compiler was first introduced. The idea that one person will suddenly do the work of 100 programmers should be inverted, he said…”</p><p>That sounds great! One person will be able to perform labor that previously required 100 people to complete! Surely this will facilitate a radical reformulation of the way we work, freeing us to do so many other things!</p><p>&gt; “…instead, every programmer will be 100 times as productive. His manager agreed: ‘Yeah, as a manager I would say, like—everybody’s just doing more,’ she said.”</p><p>Oh haha right, <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.wired.com/story/why-did-a-10-billion-dollar-startup-let-me-vibe-code-for-them-and-why-did-i-love-it/" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="www.wired.com/story/why-did-a-10-billion-dollar-startup-let-me-vibe-code-for-them-and-why-did-i-love-it/"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">www.wired.com/story/why-did-a-</span><span class="invisible">10-billion-dollar-startup-let-me-vibe-code-for-them-and-why-did-i-love-it/</span></a></p>

<p>To describe a political decision as mad or insane is to suggest that it is fundamentally irrational—opaque, inexplicable, governed by impulse rather than structure. The effect is to foreclose understanding. Political violence and authoritarian manoeuvres are reduced to personal pathology, and the economic, ideological, and institutional logics that enable them fade into the background.<br><br>Here, then, the language of insanity performs an ideological function. It reassures us that what we are witnessing is accidental, the result of a uniquely deranged individual, rather than symptomatic of deeper structural crises.<br></p>From Gramsci on Madness and Fascism, <a href="https://neurodiversityandcapitalism.substack.com/p/gramsci-on-madness-and-fascism" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="neurodiversityandcapitalism.substack.com/p/gramsci-on-madness-and-fascism"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">neurodiversityandcapitalism.su</span><span class="invisible">bstack.com/p/gramsci-on-madness-and-fascism</span></a><br><br><a href="/tags/us/" rel="tag">#US</a> <a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#USPol</a> <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a><br>

<p>1/2 <br>I actually have to take this back now. I do expect I will have to go back to <a href="/tags/calorie/" rel="tag">#calorie</a> restriction through <a href="/tags/caloriecycling/" rel="tag">#CalorieCycling</a> in order to get all the way to my goal of being under 30% body fat, but currently I am loosing without calorie restriction. </p><p>How? I stopped eating <a href="/tags/sugar/" rel="tag">#sugar</a> and focused on eating enough <a href="/tags/vegetables/" rel="tag">#vegetables</a>. I don’t mean I stopped eating refined sugar or added sugar, but foods that are more than 10% sugar with exceptions for <a href="/tags/fruit/" rel="tag">#fruit</a> and small amounts of sauce etc. I did and will continue to eat small amounts of artificially sweetened foods as treats, but I didn’t replace my sugar consumption with artificial sweetener, I adjusted my taste buds and now I can taste what fruit and vegetables were meant to taste like. </p><p>I realised something. Fruit and vegetables are the sweet foods in nature. Humans have an instinct to eat sweet foods right away, and keep eating them while they are available. That’s probably because fruit and vegetables have a short shelf life, and cause little harm.</p><p>If you stop eating sugar, you will also stop eating most processed foods because they have sugar in them.</p><p>I thought I was fat because I had no self control. I realise now I was fat because of <a href="/tags/capitalism/" rel="tag">#capitalism</a>. </p><p>We stripped sugar away from the fibre and nutrients that we’re supposed to be with it and encased it in starch and fat and salt so we then applied an instinct that was supposed to apply to fruit and vegetables to starch and fat. And we keep selling it because it was the way to ‘add value’ and make more profit from cheap ingredients. </p><p>Of course some people live in our capitalist society surrounded by sugar and processed food and don’t get fat. There are lots of reasons, genes, psychology, food culture, lifestyle, but that doesn’t negate the reality that our society sets many people up to fail.</p>
