22. Maybe criminal liability would send a message
Mon Feb 23, 2026, 01:53 PM
Monday

I live in India and got an early and extremely unimpressive exposure at Stanford to this garbage. That shithole is like a prison crossed with a (glamorous) pigsty and at this point regard for my lab and other scientists there/my other colleagues is my sole reason for not filing allegations against the school.

Some of the stuff I have seen in India, I am definitely filing some complaints about as long as they are the right ones and again do not impact my doctors or my medical mj co. They have deliberately made so much of this emerging rubbish economy so opaque that figuring out how to strategically pushback (while retaining access to useful goods and services non-shadily) is mentally taxing.

As a scientist with slim prospects, but no desire to lump their field or endure more of any unwanted junk, I am prepared to make sure my data (medical/academic/bank/travel) and other assets (land, home, bank accounts) are not low rent “oil” or unclaimed spaces.

I don’t want public ownership. I want to decouple myself entirely from this totally futile and useless non economy before more bullshit destroys more of my time and assets. And to file complaints and if necessary criminal complaints over this.

I am putting criminal liability on the table more and more. I am not joking nor crazy. It is not that these technologies are that scary and outcompeting anyone..It is the opposite. They are just distracting garbage that talentless people bilk the public via.

I am moving closer to formalising my own conflict plans and ensuring that if there was an issue, a real penalty is guaranteed plus a draconian legal precedent to prevent this again..I think some issues I had were tied to these worthless technologies which ruin anything good they touch.

Maybe criminal liability will send a gentle message to parasitic, overly imperious, sleazy, overrated billionaire huckster kakistocrats.
