Compare this to when Trump says something like “we’re gonna catch Goofy and execute him for his crimes folks” and people in the press go “Mr. Trump seemingly analogized criminals to a Disney character as he called for harsher legal penalties”

Watching the British election returns I feel compelled to point out that the 650 person House of Commons represents 67 million people and the 435 person House of Representatives in the United States represents 333 million. Replace the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. We deserve representation.

"Major Major's father was a sober God-fearing man whose idea of a good joke was to lie about his age. He was a long-limbed farmer, a God-fearing, freedom-loving, law-abiding rugged individualist who held that federal aid to anyone but farmers was creeping socialism."

Describing the outside world as scary also increases their control--if you think everyone outside your tight-knit community will instantly traffic you, you don't know where to turn to when someone inside that community abuses you

Giving a cop the mugshot treatment because he arrested a rich person who was guilty and acting like that’s totally normal should be a moment that open’s people’s eyes to the jig.

this is a Good Question, and the answer has a lot to do with the economics of venture capital. VCs need there to be a transformative breakthrough tech that offers massive returns bc their model is, to some extent, predicated on having a Facebook every once and while to offset failed investments.

These guys love to be like "ohh under socialism you're just slicing the pie different ways, under capitalism you GROW the pie" and then you give them the chance to grow the pie and it's like "actually it's more important that my slice is relatively bigger"

I'm going to tell you all a secret about "techbros". When you use that term, you're probably thinking about guys who write code. You are wrong. In my experience, 70% of coders hate the tech industry as much as and for the same reasons as everyone else. Your enemy is the Product Manager.

I think a large part of this is even calling it "AI", which made people think it was like an AGI, as opposed to what it actually did. Which was impressive but not immediately clear what the use case is
