During the last AI Winter in the mid 1990s, I was spurred to get back into education and onto a career in commercial software development by Stephen Levy's book "Artificial Life: The Quest for a New Creation". I loved that Artificial Life researchers borrowed well-understood mechanisms from genetics and implemented them in software to converge iteratively on solutions, in contrast to AI research, which was attempting to build models of categories which were not understood at all (and largely still aren't) - intelligence (whatever that is) and perception.</p><p>In subsequent years I wondered why I wasn't hearing any hype about Artificial Life; it turns out practitioners have been quietly getting on with solving problems using the technique. Meanwhile, yet again, AI boosters have blustered their way into the consciousness with another round of overcooked hype.</p><p>The Stephen Levy book is still worth a read, if you can find it. (IIRC Danny Hillis and the Connection Machine folks get a mention too.)</p><p>(I don't know if any of the genetic algorithm folks turned out to be supporters of eugenics, as many of the current crop of AI boosters seem to be.)</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/artificiallifequ0000levy_l1x2" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/artificial</span><span class="invisible">lifequ0000levy_l1x2</span></a></p><p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter#The_setbacks_of_the_late_1980s_and_early_1990s" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_win</span><span class="invisible">ter#The_setbacks_of_the_late_1980s_and_early_1990s</span></a></p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>solarpunk</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/permacomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>permacomputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/geneticalgorithms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>geneticalgorithms</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/ArtificialLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ArtificialLife</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/VintageComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TESCREAL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TESCREAL</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Genetics</span></a></p>

There were lots of groups populated by members of the elite to advocate for particular reactionary causes that might overlap, to a greater or lesser extent, with the Heritage Foundation's goals.</p><p>Maybe most notable was the America First Committee (actually only founded in Sept. 1940, but close enough). It was different from the Heritage Foundation in that it brought together a really disparate coalition, but it did represent a pretty fashy outlook (which is why their primary goal was to keep the US out of WWII) and basically sought to convince people that what happens in Germany stays in Germany.</p><p>The second wave of the KKK was already fading by 1939, but still fairly potent in some areas. It was different from HF in that it was kind of a social club with a right-wing, racist "activist" element. But it was also a political machine that was successful in locking down public office in a lot of places, particularly throughout Indiana and in pockets in other states.</p><p>The American Eugenics Society was going full steam ahead throughout the 1930s. I think a lot of HF people would push back at being associated with eugenics, but it's worth keeping in mind that the ideology of the AES and its members tended to be extremely elitist, anti-immigrant, and white supremacist; the whole point of eugenics was to "preserve" and "improve" a kind of idealized northern European racial "type". And given the HF's combination of elitism and xenophobia with a desire to control other people's reproduction, there's at least a whiff of a similarity. Also, see the next paragraph...</p><p>It's also worth noting that Heritage isn't the only think tank in the elite right-wing orbit. Probably the most notorious right now is the Claremont Institute, which does, in fact, advocate for eugenics (they claim they don't because they don't use that term, but in practice, they're all for it); last year, the HF gave Claremont its "Heritage Innovation Prize", which comes with $100k.</p><p>The Center for Renewing America is another. It is run by its founder and president Russ Vought, who is now the director of the Office of Management and Budget under Trump, and he was a driving force behind HF's Project 2025 document.</p><p>Anyways, there are lots of echoes from the 1930s today. Not exactly the same, but clearly there are historical and ideological linkages that are worth exploring.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HeritageFoundation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeritageFoundation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClaremontInstitute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClaremontInstitute</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RussVought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RussVought</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/xenophobia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xenophobia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KKK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KKK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericaFirst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericaFirst</span></a></p>

Broadwaybabyto<p>There’s so much going on in the world that we can’t control. </p><p>The Covid pandemic gave way to rising fascism, just like the pandemics that have come before. </p><p>People are scared. Many lost loved ones. Society changed overnight. The loss of control that many felt allowed bad actors to rise up and capitalize on people’s fear. </p><p>No matter what our governments say or do, Covid isn’t over. It’s still killing and disabling people. </p><p>What’s worse, the pro infection crowd has become so loud and emboldened that vaccine uptake is down, masks are vilified and we’re seeing a resurgence of diseases like measles and tuberculosis. </p><p>Despite all the infectious disease threats out there, we still don’t have mandatory masks in healthcare. </p><p>The one place people absolutely can’t avoid, the place they should have a reasonable expectation of safety, has become one of the least safe public spaces. </p><p>Patients are being infected trying to access basic healthcare, because staff refuse to mask. Refuse to test. Refuse to isolate. </p><p>It’s eugenics, and we need people to realize it before it’s too late. </p><p>We need mandatory masks in healthcare. We must protect patients AND staff. We must protect even the ones who refuse to protect themselves. </p><p><a href="https://www.disabledginger.com/p/we-need-mandatory-masking-in-healthcare" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">disabledginger.com/p/we-need-m</span><span class="invisible">andatory-masking-in-healthcare</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/uspoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspoli</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/masks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>masks</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/n95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>n95</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/chronicillness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chronicillness</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disability</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ableism</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisairborne" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisairborne</span></a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/covidisnotover" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covidisnotover</span></a></p>
