It’s not about AI having God like intellect.

It’s about AI not having all that much to catch up to. I know we are slaves to our ridiculous egos, so ridiculous we constantly invent new ficticious supernatural forces that must have created us in their hypermagical, divine, amazing, perfect image (talk about hallucinating), but we aren’t all that.

We wandered around for the vast majority of our existence, about 200k years, before it occurred to some of us we could grow food in one place.

Great video, thank you.

Reminds me of a dialogue from Doctor Who:

Both Standing at the end of time

Ashildr: I’ve been watching the stars die. It was beautiful.

The Doctor: No, it was sad.

Ashildr: No. It was both.

The Earth will heal after a couple million years, nothing to the 3.8 billion year history of terran life. Might as well be eternity to our monkey brains, but good news! We won’t be around anymore to suffer the wait.

Once our mother has dealt with the surface nuisance, at least.

I take solace in knowing we’re only destroying ourselves and many of the contemporary species unlucky enough to have existed during the short time in Earth’s history where we played pretend we were this world’s masters/owners instead of its children/subjects that we actually were.

Man, we were a rotten fucking kid.

It’s willful blindness, because rather than be a society, many to most still cling to the fantasy that one day it could be their turn to be the fuckers living like modern Pharoahs in cartoonish excess, even from the trailer park.

We are way down the list for upward mobility in the developed world, btw. We’re in the high 20s and the nordic nations dominate the top 5. Despite all the laughable bootstrap talk of meritocracy being our thing.

The sad fact is, more Americans would rather keep up with and fantasize about being a Kardashian than condemn their ridiculous life of needless excess while others struggle for food and shelter.

That’s what the American Dream has devolved into since Reagan, a fantasy of participating in owner class excess that should instead enrage us.

Our FOR PRIVATE PROFIT news media would much rather ingratiate themselves to the Fuhrer than be the fourth estate and report on him earnestly.

Antagonizing a future President openly feening to attack any organization that says an unkind word sounds like a recipe for lost revenue, and they can’t risk lost shareholder value over something as trivial as representative democracy.

Any way you slice it, Donald Trump is the product and symptom of our society’s tolerance and servitude to our greed class. Remember the theme of Donald’s game show? We chose to die alone fighting against one another over scraps rather than living together as a society back in the 80s with the Reagan Revolution and the legislation of greed as our only cultural value.

This is just the bill coming due. Somewhere, the ghosts of all the struggling neighbors we cut the net out from under, and vilified as “welfare queens and filthy takers,” to cut taxes for people like Fred and Donald Trump back then are laughing.

😂😭😂

Still think a society run on worshipped greed and competition against one another can stand?

When you make the private profit motive the only motive, as we have in the US in practice, what in the ever loving fuck do you think your elected leaders and their appointments will be motivated by? Duty and integrity?

Sociopath asset holders being allowed to indulge their greed disease with impunity and dictating how our society runs while contributing nothing of merit needs to end. Until then, we’ll keep finding new lows to stoop to until climate change makes our gold plated, inhuman cesspool collapse completely.

I did as well when I started pontificating on the current gender conflict, only to be rebuked not on the facts or the data, but on the feels with ad hominems directed at me.

But the thing is, in addition to dictating all poors must work in the wake of the loss of their jim crow pseudo-slave workforce, the market capitalists want us divided in every conceivable way so we never look up at them basking in the dragon hoards we never stop growing for them with our bodies.

They use the media they own and the curriculum they inform through captured governments to stoke racial/political/sex/cultural divides. It is in their interests to keep us ignorant, largely devoid of critical thinking, and hostile towards one another.

Neither men nor women are setting these terms on the basis of their inherent drives, their drives are being manipulated to serve the market by a few thousand sociopath families with aligned interests based in unquenchable avarice. All of us without considerable net worth are less than human to the market capitalist owners.

I agree with you, though its all a symptom of the larger class war and the market capitalist owners need for mooaaaaaaar that required almost everyone to work to support a household. Same reason they limited abortion for poor women here in the US, the need for more desperate workers.

The sad reality is the truths you lay out are just not palatable to the current culture, despite being true. They also will not even begin to improve until the larger global class war occupation is addressed and the greed of the owners is put into check by force.

Even that is a losing battle, but at least it has meaningful support. If you’re going to fight a just but losing battle, fight the one that informs all others that won’t get rotten fruit unfairly pelted at you in the public square.

Ok kids, time for your lesson…

They were also well versed in the dark art of comedy, officer. Note their expert timing.

Reminds me of why torture as a means of information gathering is ridiculous.

I will absolutely tell you what I think you want to hear when you start stabbing me, whether its the truth or I ever knew it at all.

But I also hate you for torturing me, so If I do happen to know the thing then I also know enough about the thing to alter the answer to something false but plausible for a moment of relief while you act on it, because we all know if you’re torturing me, you have no intention of letting me out alive.

This is why the lets be pals/wine and dine approach is more effective.

The only way this question makes sense is if you’re one of millions of sociopathic Americans (not entirely most of their fault, they were encouraged to be so through for profit media and simply fell for the ego stroking lies of “you’re better than them, so enjoy the suffering they obviously deserve for some reason”) that don’t consider homeless Americans to be human at all, want them out of their eyeline, and literally despise suffering people far worse off than them for…🤮… “lowering their property values.”

Literally the same market capitalist deluded useful idiots that want public schools defunded into further ruin because they themselves don’t personally currently have a child that attends public school.

The people hurting almost everyone with their basically infinite resources, private shareholder capitalist sociopaths, managed to convince it seems like most Americans that the reason the economy works against them despite perpetual record profits for said private shareholders are those people down the street living in an old tent in the park starving and dying of exposure to the elements.

Exactly.

As just one example, had we been railing against the Federalist Society for what it always was since it was established around the Reagan Revolution, a judicial extremist group and ideological servant to wealthy business interests for decades designed to bend our judicial branch to their profit driven desires, it would have gotten increasingly difficult to get them appointed to the SCOTUS, and even lesser appointments under such public pressure, back when public pressure was still heeded to some degree.

Instead, that was considered to be engaging in unseemly class war, harumph I say! They’re simply a society made up of wealthy legacy slot kids that happens to have a judicial philosophy of make the rich richer and less accountable, and make the poor poorer and more desperate. Now, having decades waging class war basically unopposed, Wall Street now owns our Judicial branch in practice, to play with like any random mega yacht. It is their asset, we can only suffer it.

Whenever the peasants get even the tiniest bit of leverage, the owners predictably, cynically, and immediately bust out the “there is no class war! It would be unseemly to engage in a class war! Don’t start a class war!” lies through their propaganda pulpits.

Sadly, it works, despite the fact that the market capitalists never stop warring against those with less to get ever moooaaaar to feed their insatiable greed disease. Reagan/Thatcher actually convinced millions of poor, deluded idiots that deregulation and tax breaks for the rich would help them, some of whom still belligerently defend supply side market capitalism against their own interests before carrying their brittle, old, exploited bones outside every day expecting golden showers of prosperity to start raining down on them as the owners promised… any decade now… And holy shit why is it so hot out here?

The market capitalist owner class has been warring against you and any nation states that still prioritizes the wellbeing of their people for longer than anyone has been alive, whether you would fight back or say “thank you lord may I have another!”

Our elected leaders betray us for money like breathing, our wealth class uses their power to pillage our commons and coerce ever more exploitative labor using the government that was supposed to protect us from their power as their personal cudgel, and we basically hate one another due to the owner’s media propaganda machine intentionally keeping us divided and misinformed so we can never unite to challenge them.

What, you want we should rally around pride in our nation’s supposedly admirable history? The genocide parts, the slavery parts, non-crony capitalist foreign nation destabilization parts, the state sanctioned union busting parts, or the eugenics parts?

How about something from the last week of history, like making it legal to make it illegal for our fellow citizens to exist in public places without a home they can’t afford? Is that what we should take pride in? Demonstrating cruelty to the most destitute members of our society that we have all collectively already failed the most to feel superior and get them out of our sight?

Fuck this place. Yes there are other horrible nation states that thrive on inhumanity, but that in no way absolves us of ours, especially with all the inhumanity in the form of poison pill “free market advocacy” that our diplomats, military, and multinationals pressure other nation states to become to make them as greedy and sociopathic a society as possible and make their markets accessible for our egotistical capitalists to grow their dragon hoards with as the numbers of homeless Americans continues to explode.

It should be extremely limited. 3-5 years after copyright it should expire.

Some call him a prophet, but I think he’d have preferred to have been called perceptive.

"But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education sucks, and it’s the same reason that it will never, ever, ever be fixed. It’s never gonna get any better. Don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got.

Because the owners of this country don’t want that. I’m talking about the real owners now, the real owners, the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I’ll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. Thats against their interests. Thats right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table to figure out how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that. You know what they want? They want obedient workers.

Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you, sooner or later, 'cause they own this fucking place. It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it. You and I are not in the big club. And by the way, it’s the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head in their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged, and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. Good honest hard-working people – white collar, blue collar, it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on – good honest hard-working people continue – these are people of modest means – continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who don’t give a fuck about them. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you at all – at all – at all.

And nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. That’s what the owners count on; the fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick that’s being jammed up their assholes everyday. Because the owners of this country know the truth: it’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it.”

―George Carlin, 20 years ago

It’s important to remember what we’re working ourselves to death for.
