But strictly one way!
I have been making a list for years of who to ship off to Mars. Some of these creeps are less known than others, but they should all be shipped off to Mars:
Tier 1: Marc Andreessen; Elon Musk; Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan ( gender parity! The ladies of the Technofascist war on democracy should join the creeps they enabled so lovingly); Alex Pentland; Rosalind Picard; Ben Waber (basically all of the MIT Media Lab); Bobby Azarian; Eliezer Kudkowsky; Clare Wu; Sabine Hossenfelder; Eric Weinstein; Eric Schmidt; Larry Page; Sergei Brin; Fei Fei Li; Anthony Lewandowski; Geoffrey Hinton; Peter Norvig; Thomas Insel (all Google affiliates basically); Bill Ackman and Neri Oxman; Jessica Krause; RFK; Olivia Nuzzi; (basically all of Maha): Alexandr Wang (basically all of Facebook and all AI scientists with the sole exception of Yan LeCun..he seems okay..he can stay on earth); That Palantir creep Alex something; Elizabeth Holmes; Max Tegmark; Nick Bostrom; Peter Thiel; The Koch Brothers (old fashioned!); The Discovery Institute: mind matters.ai; Denise OLeary; Jaron Lanier/David Chalmers (annoying and Vr shills); all of Stanford Psychiatry (Keith Humphreys/Smita Das/Nina Vasan-brainless Reefer Madness shills); Karl Friston (his work is more interesting than that of most of these guys but overall he should also be sent to Mars).
Daniele Fanelli and Hashem Al Ghalili (a creep promoting a futuristic prison called Cognify). Really almost all of Stanford, Google, MIT, UCL etc should be sent to Mars. These people are the worst. There are a few scientists who should be allowed to stay on earth, but Mars for the rest; Michael Levine (another creepy guy..its more and more of these types and less of anyone recognizable as some sort of regular scientist like Dr Fauci..I feel for people like Dr Fauci who have to know these types. Its one of the sole pluses of failure and anonymity at least you dont have to be polite). Larry Summers.
Most of CS really (Yan LeCun, Avi Wigderson, Ryan Williams and Rollo Carpenter are the only four people I have seen so far in that entire field who shouldnt be sent to Mars on a one way trip).
I have not come across these types in my field (natural sciences) even at those hells. But well.I am a failure so I can trash those creeps adjacent to them. Someone should who isnt Maha/RFk/Beaglegate or the worst type of faux anti establishment and exploiting it for money or attention. These guys will destroy publicly funded science with their national security and industrial ties and ..well general annoyingness
. I am sick of them. Frances Chance. Any VR or other rot shilling type. Its time to beat it.
Tier 2: Astroturf grifters who had an insincere change of heart and then grifted anew. The worst part about these guys is the attempt to hijack any much awaited backlash: Tristan Harris, Roger MacNamee, Cory Doctorow (yeah I know lots of people like him for unclear reasons. Its why he needs to be sent to Mars. No more of falling for these guys. I cringe when I see him cited by the left); Frances Haugen; Sarah Wynn-Williams (classic case of grift that way first, this way next);
Here is a hint, most actual whistleblowers go into hiding or prison like Daniel Hale or that Fannie Mae woman. Hiding, oh that reminds me..
If they can be squeezed in (for being annoying and libertarian, Putin humping etc whether they paid a price or not): Edward Snowden; Julian Assange; the Cambridge Analytica types, Shahid Buttar etc
(I cheated and cribbed liberally(!) from Yasha Levine. His piece All effed up was very helpful to me. He is uniformly helpful on tech, influencers, The Spectacle etc. I part ways with him only on community etc. Nope! No humans and no machines! No community and no mercy 😤. Just one way trips to Mars for this collection of douchebags).
We are draconian with some people and too forgiving with others as a society.
Its a shit life and there is no relief in sight and we will all have to plod till we die. The damage done will take a long time to reverse. There are never any simple or easy solutions.
But at least we need not die horribly and alone and for that these creeps should be held accountable first ;-/. Oh yeah Merrick Garland. He should also be shipped off to Mars.
We should definitely preemptively ship off heel-daggers, future bogus whistleblowers/influencers/grifters or the annoying (I.e. Snowden etc.) just for good measure.
Influencing is hideous. There are a handful who do good work, many who I support since it is such a shitty world and they are decent people, but the concept is one these technofascists love. Anything but an actually sane society.
