We are not concerned with the political problems of those who see unemployment as a danger to democracy and order. We do not feel any nostalgia for lost professionalism. We are even less interested in elaborating libertarian alternatives to grim factory work or intellectual labour, which are unwittingly doing nothing but toe the line of the advanced post-industrial project. Nor are we for the abolition of work or its reduction to the minimum required for a meaningful happy life. Behind all this there is always the hand of those who want to regulate our lives, think for us, or politely suggest that we think as they do.

Here is an article from NPR about it (May 22, 2026):

Carolina Milanesi, an independent technology analyst, said Google is trying to make its cash cow business — search — richer and more personalized, and it will make shopping easier. But there is a risk that users may have fewer choices about what to click. "Right now it's: I ask a question, I get a bunch of answers and I feel that I'm in control as to which answer I take, or if I'm looking for something, which product I'm going to end up buying. That is going to be less so going forward," she said. Milanesi envisions AI-enabled search and agents proposing products to consumers — perhaps even those they have requested — but with less clarity or choice around where it's coming from. "If you're going to say: 'I want a pair of Jordans, go find them,' you're not necessarily sure what steps have been taken and whether the AI has used a source or a store that was paid for and therefore came up in the search results," she said, "or if AI actually went and did their due diligence and picked the best for me as a customer."

And here's one from Time magazine (May 20, 2026):

While Google already has “AI Mode,” the company will now power the whole search bar through its new Gemini 3.5 Flash model.  Instead of the classic list of blue links, Google Search will now also generate a custom page with an AI-generated summary of what you’re searching about, which will then trigger a conversation with AI Mode on the main page, allowing users to ask follow-up questions—similar to the kind of layout you would see when opening ChatGPT.

And a little more from Time's article on how this may affect the websites that we are trying to search for:

When Google first started implementing AI-assisted results, news publishers warned of “catastrophic” impacts on the industry, much of which relies on Google search to drive users to their websites.  Last year, news websites saw significant traffic declines as chatbots increasingly replaced Google search as the primary way to find sites and ask questions.  Small businesses also noted drops in traffic to their sites from Google, which has traditionally delivered customers.   Lily Ray, vice president of SEO strategy & research at Amsive, a digital marketing agency, warned as early as last year that Google’s planned changes to search are “going to have a devastating impact on the Internet.”  “It will severely cut into the main source of revenue for most publishers and it will disincentivize content creators who rely on organic search traffic, which is millions of websites, maybe more,” she told Technology Magazine.

I honestly didn’t mind the AI summary, but at least I was still able to access all the links(like reddit or YT videos). Now? No. This is too much. Even for me.

DuckDuckGo…yea.

Every time you catch yourself going, "Fuck, are humans just inherently evil and naturally inclined to selfishness and harm???" you HAVE to remember that that's literally a core ideal of Christianity.

So if it feels inescapable and like evidence of it is everywhere, whether at times or always, that might just because you're in a Western country where you're surrounded by Christians who believe that, fundamentally, in their worldview. And also they talk and make art about it all the time and run the vast majority of news outlets. And spent over a thousand years burning any art or texts that disagreed with them. Etc. etc.

If you're gonna come to as drastic and painful a conclusion as that, at least take the time first to make sure you're not working with biased evidence (surrounded by too many people and cultural products that believe original sin is real)

And if it turns out the feeling WAS partly the result of cultural Christianity, then hey, that's great news, because it means there's that much (and it really is SO MUCH) less evidence that humans inherently suck. Which is good, because we don't

you also have to remember that the ruling class has been using christianity as an ideological tool to justify themselves for more a millennium and a half. the broader term for this ideology is ‘veneer theory’, ie that ‘civilization’ is a thin veneer (the church, the state, etc) keeping us from giving in to our true, savage, nature. the idea that people are brutish selfish and cruel is a myth that is deeply baked into every aspect of western society. it is used to justify the state, the rich, police, wars, slavery, inequality, and just about every other cruelty you can imagine. but the evil you witness or perceive is a result of those systems, not a natural or inevitable state of affairs.

⚠️TW⚠️: BIOESSENTIALISM

So basically, ILTDESIGNS or whatever the fuck his name is, is saying that men are born hating women and that "you have to teach them to respect women", even though many feminist scholars such as Kate Millett and Gerda Lerner explained in their studies that patriarchy is a SOCIAL system, meaning that men aren't born hating women but are TAUGHT to do that since childhood through family education, cultural conditioning, literature, media, etc. Since it's learned and not innate, patriarchy can be and must be unlearned and destroyed. Claiming that patriarchy is "ingrained in men" isn't only inaccurate but it also justifies misogyny and male violence. This clearly wasn't his intention, but that's what he did. Patriarchy was born around 5,000 and 10,000 years ago alongside the Agricultural Revolution, but before that hunter-gatherer societies where generally egalitarian.

The term 'patriarchy' has become a buzzword in contemporary conversations about gender equality and feminism. But what exactly is patriarchy

This whole "women are inferior to men" thing started because of the belief that being physically stronger that someone else means you are superior to them, which is obviously not true. This type of belief didn't exist in Etruscan society. In Etruscan society there was equality between men and women. Men didn't dominate women and women didn't dominate men. This shows that, as I said, patriarchy is learned, not innate. Basically the root of patriarchy is ignorance, not biology. Plus, this guy contradicted himself because he rightfully said that women have been taught that they should be submissive to men and therefore the claim that "submission is in a woman's nature" is bullshit but he thinks that men are born hating women. How does it work? Women aren't naturally submissive but men naturally hate us? Like WHAT? Again, this kind of mentality only justifies misogyny since according to this stupid logic misogyny is innate and therefore women should just "suck it up" that we live in a world that hates us just because we are women. I'm sorry, but that's not how it works. No one is born hating, you are taught to do so. Oh, this guy also thinks that homophobia is "in straight people's nature". 🤡🤦🏼‍♀️

I don't think I need to say anything else.
