Writing

I will finish this paper. I can only contact my mentor after that. This bullshit distracted me from the only work that makes me feel truly human and not like a crazy person, which in fairness is better than influencer.

You have left me no cover finally. The only person whose approval I ever sought was my main mentor. This was painful roleplaying the kind of idiotic female I reflexively assumed was ..i don’t know. Relatable?
At least this is organic crazy.

I deeper calculation was that I usually look at all these douchebags and think if all these creeps and douchebags are at each others’ throats over who gets to be king of this dungheap then I can beat a quiet retreat.

Like the girlfailures I feel affection for are a far cry from your aggressive girlbosses. They usually also fight back against creeps and have a sort of armed truce with these male types who are minimally engroaching and aggressive.

Whereas your women are horrible. They work for Chan Zuckerberg ffs. No amount of they/them pronouns can change that. And it is no use trying to paint me as anti woke by now.
I just hate wokeness that superficial.

After I finish the paper, I will tell my mentor-the one person I trust completely much like my oncologist -everything. I cannot talk to him without a solid enough piece of work. I shall tell him I want to file complaints and if he talks me down upur creeps are in luck, because he would focus on the attack on livelihood part you sleazily gloss over and he would get that it isn’t hippie to think that just treating the web of life as something for weapons systems or Neri Oxman’s bs etc is garbage.

He was a cool scientist..he wasn’t like you Prof Hennessy. I mean Prof Hennessy, just look at how you perverted my own role in society.

I used to be a frump glumly failing at science and generally looking at clunkers like you Prof Hennessy with dull dislike but silently and now I post floods of profanity to you online. You are like Captain Queeg. You cannot be ignored.
You are like Trump that way

I don’t even know who the admin was at my first postdoc school. But he was someone who receded into the bg and did not become this nightmarish figure you think about as soon as you get up.
I think about you all the time Prof Hennessy and have for 14 goddamn years. I bet your family doesnt think about you as much.
Why is Prof Hennessy this way? I used to hate you..I pictured this really sleazy conniving man who goes around inventing tortures for postdocs for unclear reasons and then I saw you and well…Somehow I could no longer hate you. I was picturing someone closer to Noah Smith. But you are clearly an actual professor albeit one with a brain rotted by economics.
I bet you like that asshole Shellenberger.


Actually there were a couple of decent Indian male postdocs (though not Indian pis..the one older Indian male pi I saw was the type of person I categorize as “The type of Indian person Prof Hennessy would like. Nuff said.”) at your hell school. I liked them, but they seemed mild. They seemed like actually nice people, something I am not.

I was just trying not to this overtly calculate how to avoid fresh creeps in sticking it to old man Hennessy. Just enough for self-protection professor. I mean you no harm, but you do worry me.
You would totally build this abomination:

To be clear I absolutely do not believe- especially after my experience that this clunkware is the issue in being hyper intelligent. It is just garbage. The problem is the humans with worthless livelihoods poaching and parasitizing my life and space endlessly.


This is what I find so offensive about how you think Prof Hennessy. There is something chillingly Pluribus like about reading Substack in particular with the exception of: Yasha Levine/Evgenia Kovda, Christopher Ketcham, Joe Costello, Alec Karakatsanis, Matt Stoller, Ed Zitron, Lucien Greaves, Chuck Palahniuk, Marina Bolotnikova. For the rest it is this anonymous sounding chorus that is vaguely depressing.
One thing about all the people I listed is that they are all angry and disillusioned in approximately the same way I am often.

Posters here on DU never sound like the average Substack poster. They sound like actual humans. Nicholas Carr’s writing even no longer enthralls me. I used to love his rough type blog and wait eagerly for new entries as they helped me decipher my own hellscape back then (the parts that are internal hell not the external crap) and then he went on Substack and somehow..I guess I never read any of the others elsewhere.
I found Carr via Jeff Wells’ blog rigorousintuition while I was taking care of my mom.

She was getting a blood infusion that night - sometime after her first chemo treatment - September 2020. And I was miserably surfing…I cannot believe mom is gone. She was recovering. We are a healthy family. This hustle killed her I am pretty certain by now.
I can tell you with certainty prof that whoever was involved locally will be brought to justice for the whole. I was very fond of my mom. It is one thing to fuck with me - I am a very non-ideal person and well aware of it.

But my mom was a really decent woman. This strained my parents and my best friend from grad school and my ex husband. None of them complain much unlike your entitled little twerps. I didn’t plan to whine this much. What use would that be? The point is to ensure they are all brought to justice for implementing/inflicting this garbage of nudge theory mimes, ear-splitting and maddening noise pollution on my street etc

These technologies do not have a good effect on the human brain and the humans in this are as bad as the tech or worse. Yeah wtf Prof Hennessy. You are a menace to society..you are something else. Unlike those spectacular tec creeps like Zuckerberg, you come off as this harmless clunker and yet you carried out a coup against the NIH.
