#BrandDotdashMeredithThoughtCoRobertMcNamara "The men who were called robber barons were often portrayed in a positive light, as 'self-made men' who had helped build the nation and in the process created many jobs for American workers. However, the public mood turned against them in the late 19th century. Criticism from newspapers and social critics began to find an audience. And American workers began to organize in great numbers as the labor movement accelerated. " https://www.thoughtco.com/robber-baron-definition-1773342

'In future, sculptures will inevitably come to be living objects,' Beeple argues. But why mix artists and tech billionaires here? 'Because in both cases we look at the world through their lens.'

Mike Winkelmann), is part satire, part dystopia, part slapstick theater. In it, a pen of robot dogs (or is it pigs?) have been fitted with grotesquely lifelike heads of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Jeff Bezos, and Beeple himself. They wander, they twitch, they clash--and then, at intervals likely engineered for maximum dramatic tension, they tip backward and eject a printed image from their backsides." https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/beeple-pooping-robot-dogs-at-art-basel-miami-beach-1234765375/ #IRLArtistMikeWinkelmannAKABeeple [Wikipedia] #2025_RegularAnimals
#NewspaperUKBrdshtBylineTimesNafeezAhmed "What began in the 2016 email chain between Epstein and Bach as a discussion about human learning quickly mutated into one of the most explicit articulations of race hierarchy, gender essentialism and authoritarian governance found anywhere in the released files. Bach's email begins with a pseudo-neuroscientific discussion of 'layers' of cognition - a developmental metaphor he and Epstein share. Bach tells Epstein he has 'looked up the statistics' and asserts that 'black kids in the US have slower cognitive development (and never catch up)', while outperforming white children in early motor skills. He insists that researchers' attempts to attribute this to environmental factors are misleading. He then advances an evolutionary explanation that places African Americans and Europeans on different biological tracks. In his words, black children's 'faster motor development' means 'their brains are slower at learning high-level concepts, because the low-level structures are optimised for a shorter time'. Europeans, by contrast, supposedly evolved to master 'long-term seasonal patterns' and 'delayed gratification for agriculture', while Africans are framed as adapted for 'a more hunting/running style of life'. ... Bach has since partly distanced himself from these views. In response to a Boston Globe piece describing some of his comments to Epstein on race and gender, he wrote: 'Race is itself not causal in cognitive differences of course, and later research brought me to my current view that race is NOT causal for differences in development, and race is NOT a determinant of IQ in children or adults.' Yet taken together, Bach's communications with Epstein reveal an entire architecture of thought increasingly common among Edge participants: biological hierarchy; racial destiny; gender determinism; genetic optimisation; population culling; fascism as efficiency." https://bylinetimes.com/2025/12/05/how-epstein-channelled-race-science-and-climate-culling-into-silicon-valleys-ai-elite/ #NewspaperUSBrdshtTheBostonGlobeKateSelig https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/21/metro/epstein-emails-mit-joscha-bach/ #2016_ #BrandEdgeFoundationIncJohnBrockman [Wikipedia] [Wikipedia] #OtheringElitesClique #IRLBusinesspersonJeffreyEpstein #ToponymAmericaNorthUSCaliforniaNorthernSiliconValley #IRLScientistCognitiveJoschaBach [Wikipedia] #PoliticsFascismTechno #TechArtificialIntelligenceAIGenerative #TheoryLongtermism [Wikipedia] #IRLPhilosopherNickBostrom [Wikipedia] #dentityAmericanBlackAndAfricanPOC #PhenomnIntelligenceIQ #MetaphorSpatialLinearLayered #MetaphorSpatialHierarchyStratificationRacial #BeliefPseudoscienceScientificRacism [Wikipedia] #OtheringDenialPseudospeciation [Wikipedia]
