        True Detective’s Rustin Cohle tells us why humanity is doomed.

          I’d consider myself a realist, alright? But in philosophical terms I’m what’s called a pessimist. I think human consciousness is a tragic misstep in evolution. We became too self-aware. Nature created an aspect of nature separate from itself. We are creatures that should not exist by natural law. We are things that labor under the illusion of having a self, that accretion of sensory experience… Read More »True Detective’s Rustin Cohle tells us why humanity is doomed.

                Firefox Add-on: Awesome Screenshot Plus adware.

                  Awesome Screenshot Plus add-on for Firefox also installs adware, which they claim to give you an option to refuse. Having used this extension for a while, I can’t remember being given that option. An annoying popup called “Related products” got shown every time I visited any page with any sort of buyable products on it. Use at your own risk. Better still, use another extension.
