AI Doomerism, Moral Laundering, and Apocalyptic Cults
Hi all! New feature up on the Changelog -- we pick apart the AI apocalypse, look at the weird cult all the fearmongering is coming from, and discuss the real reason apocalypse talk is useful to tech elites.

Hope you enjoy!
Coercion Through Fiat Currency
This week's Changelog is up! Topic:
Fiat Money is a kind of money that directly tokenizes a threat of violence from the state, and in doing so creates an organic system of coercion against the state's victims.
