'I managed to eke out a few more words than I thought I would' - you did much more than that.... this was top form! Probably made us all want to vomit, which, in this context, is a win.
'Anthropy' - eh. The prefix is assumed. 'Anthropy' as a stand-alone is ambiguous... philAnthropy could also be misAnthropy... techAnthropy... chimerAnthropy... postAnthropy - the list goes on.
Cliches of so many orders, from agenda-ridden vernaculars to physical embodiments. Just wondering what happens to the divine right of kings in a technocracy... does AI becomes god... or one of its key progenitors, say, Ray Kurzweil? Maybe a god hologram even. Dunno. Perhaps they'll just go down the anachronism route and hope nobody notices.
Well, I need to go and get warm (expensive as that is these days). My blood is running a bit colder than it was before I started reading this article. Bless you Ben... you hit a lot of nails on the head... not just insightfully, but eloquently and sardonically. Thank you for that.
This was savage, I love it! I’m honestly not sure how these ppls whole grift just keeps going. It seems like all they really do with their time is talk about themselves at conferences and make PR videos.
Too busy flying the gang of four up to the climate shindig on private planes... New defence minister, Michael Green (Shappstwat) was a surprise invite... Climate crisis needs military intervention?
Excellent work. Time to turn over the stones and watch them scurry... Hopefully some will be under aforementioned stones as they fall back down to earth.

Their name is giving the game away:
Philanthropy: a friend of humanity
Anthropy: humanity without a friend (or shall we say, without friendly intentions?)
yes it's certainly an odd turn of phrase
Why wasn't King Charles invited ?
best to send the lower orders to do the dirty work dontcha know

You attended so I did not need to! I owe you- for confirming I did not need to and giving me every good speaker as to why!

Just like Icarus, whose wings melted when he flew too close to the sun, and fell back to earth.
This crew all look like spitting image puppets, a crack squad of weirdos
Severn Trent are onto that now are they? Blimey there'll be nothing left
