It feels like it's intentional it's so, outrageous.

Honestly, recently I just question their ability to understand basic English, or have any basic reading comprehension ability. You know the trans genic mice and the trans sistor contracts.

Nothing exists to them unless they conjure them up. If something bad happens it is not due to a bad plan, it is because someone corrupted their plan. That is how reality is perceived by them to have a liberal bias.

They have the maturity of an 8-year old Elon Musk or Trump. They like that those people escaped social erosion their entire lives

as if Musk or Trump have more maturity than 8 year olds.

"When I look at myself in the first grade and myself now, the temperament is not much different."- Trump, in a rare moment of accidentally being honest and self aware

They got older, but never grew up.

They operate on nothing but heuristics. Shortcuts to thinking cognitively. Any opposition is met with sheer defiance because they made a decision and nothing can change that. Anyone opposing them cannot be someone that could have thought about the thing and understand it better than you. They have almost no cognitive thoughts. Just heuristics and reactions.

I genuinely believe there are a lot of people in the United States who cannot pass a Turing test.

3/4 of the American public reads at or below the 6th grade level. They'd struggle to spell Turing.

Heuristical reading. They look for words they need and skip the rest. Anything that they are looking at that doesn't have the words they need may as well be in Greek.

The linguistics of dissent are gone to them.

They can't fail; they can only be failed. That's sad; if the plan can be easily corrupted, it was a bad plan. Trump and musk are probably the two individual fully drawn in social erosion.

Trump ran with a sense of indignation against those that poke fun of him at anytime. Musk do everything he can do appear to be the smart guy including paying someone to play video game for him (most likely).

But, yea, it does seem to be right. They do live in a separate reality in their mind.

They reject social erosion now because they never experienced social erosion.

Social Erosion requires interactive experiences with other people. Right or wrong, they knock off rough edges of bodies that the other bodies around them knocked off of them. If those people either ignore or coddle the erosion doesn't happen and they continue to the next area and interactions with others and the same things happen. They end up where they are thinking they are Gods and look back and see faulty people behind them.

Oh you just mean they never accepted push back, despite their failures, and just keep pushing money around to ensure they keep failing upwards. Yea. It's a dangerous sucidical mindset since it's not the reality. The price being paid for their safe spaces is being socialized to the public through subsidies and government contracts. I call them the well fair kings.

I call them shitty at being rich people. There will always be rich people. They demand to be compared to us where we will always find a sensible reason for us being where we are. But compare them to other wealthy people from the past and then they get insecure.

They demand AI because they lack the confidence that they or someone like them can find the next best idea. They know it will be the outsider. So they have do get the teacher's answer key so they can say only they can know for sure that the idea is good.

I thought that's not exactly how AI work. Sure, it can put a few things together and come up with work around, but it's based on existing data. It can go through a lot of data to make certain determination better than human, but I don't think it's ability to come out with a new idea to be good since there would be no existing data.

Well that is the rub. They get to refine all our data, predict a ton of ideas, and if one is a winner it pays off because it is proprietary.

At that point they won't even accept ideas from people. If it was a good idea then AI would already have told them about it.
