Don't worry about it, the brochure says that the job that scientists have done has been incredible. The testing that’s been developed and being developed right now has been truly an amazing thing. It’s incredible what we’ve done together over a short period of time. Every day it gets better.

Maoism has really been resonating with me recently.

You’re probably right about my blinders but I don’t care. China isn’t actively killing me. I believe I am methodically being murdered by capitalism. I want it rinsed from the earth the way I would want a pathogen removed from body. No holds barred.

Revolutions, be they Russian, Chinese, French, Cambodian, whatever, are hampered by everything that hampers democracy and capitalism: people are short sighted, people are petty, people are power hungry, people are lazy, people are sheep, people are ****.

AI authoritarianism might be the only solution tbh.

It’s better than idea I have. I’d vote for it with great trepidation though

I still say shake the baby and save it from Trump's America but that is simply not to be.



TBH as thoughtful as you might think I am if there was a vote for AI rule tomorrow I'd be so excited just to see what happens I wouldn't give a **** what actually happened until it happened. Reality is an illusion afaic and the only thing that matters is if today is entertaining and not much would be as entertaining as at least the fantasy of an AI led world. No trepidation, just masturbation.
