What even is adulthood?

Biologically, turning 24 and ceasing growth?

Economically, turning 18 and ready to be exploited in the workplace, or kill in a war?

Sociologically, having to kill all your interests, and replace them. With drab, unexciting, bland, tasteless doldrum. Or you'll forever be economically locked out of any opportunity, for expressing yourself.

Adulthood is bullshit, don't ever grow up.
Grow your interests, and never lose yourself.

Idle thought of the day: if you assume that environmental crises, political instability, and authoritarian states are going to become more common over the next couple of decades, how would that change the way you design your websites and apps?

@neauoire @tty in the legal arena we have a duty to break unjust laws, to appeal to a 'higher' court or 'lower'/wider politic. How do we challenge unjust technical codes?

@tty this and @neauoire 's fishing insurance story, makes me think we are living in VR already, because our actions are dictated by invisible layers of code already.

Their is no "Great Reset"
Their is no "Great Replacement"
Their is no (insert conspiracy theory)

We're going to fucking die if we don't solve climate change.

And were not going to be successful, unless we stop Capitalism

That's it, that's literally what's happening.

Scientists have even said so.

They release the same damn report, with the same damn conclusions every quarter.

"As I've written, it's not just that every billionaire is a policy failure: every billionaire is a factory for producing policy failures at scale" — Cory Doctorow

The downsides of a world with billionaires in it are well-rehearsed: billionaires can convert their vast wealth to power, and use that power to turn their whims and pet theories into policy failures that affect millions - or even billions - of people.

Take Bill Gates. Forget all the conspiracy theories about Gates and vaccines - it's bizarre that people bother to make up those fairy-tales when the truth is so much worse.
