They’re digital yes men, mostly, and really lack in the nuance when you prompt them to answer on anything you have a deep knowledge of.

Food does have ingredients, yes.

Are you on crack?

This (and a lot of other reasons) is why I carry a handkerchief.

I wouldn’t hate this system, TBH.

Ted misses a lot in Jacques Ellul’s The Technological Society, which is where I’d start off f your looking for philosophers critical of modern technology.

If you’re curious on that particular subject, I’d also recommend Lewis Mumford’s Myth of the Machine or The City in History.

Or, for something that’s less of a tome (both Ellul and Mumford can be overly wordy), Ivan Illich’s Tools for Conviviality is incredibly critical of the modern world, but also offers hope that isn’t based on mailing bombs to universities.

It’s probably better to read the philosophers Uncle Ted was pulling from (and ultimately failed to understand).

Ellul especially.

I don’t wanted her on the roster, that’s for sure. Ronda is a Sandy Hook denier.

I know she’s issued an apology an all, but PR statements are cheap.

If it’s pregnancy, she’s going to have so much fun calling herself a MILF when she comes back.
