The Case for (Just) Sex Discrimination

For all the talk of “anti-discrimination,” current policies discriminate unjustly against actual human beings in favor of a disembodied, counterfactual “ideal.”

Investing in the Stock Market Is Not Immoral: A Reply to Barnes and Imam

Jacob Imam and Marc Barnes have advocated that investing in a 401(k) or the stock market is generally immoral. I think that their view is incorrect.

Against Posting

Social media is a machine for the universalization of Posting, such that all human communication becomes a Post in its exterior form, regardless of the interior intention of the poster.

The "Anonymous Society" vs. "The Great Workbench"

The failure of capitalism to live up to any of its goals can be traced to shareholding, the level of abstraction it represents, and the shift in economic purpose it demands.

Tech "Humanists" Are Inhuman

The humanists are inhuman, but let us not be taken for fools: their “philosophy” is more materially determined by the stock market than spiritually determined by any insight into the human condition.
