Well, maybe don’t fuck over most of the population so much that they see no progress as preferable to progress that only benefits the oppressors.

As someone from a highly industrial area, it was not.

Your summation is spot-on.

They heard stories of the struggle older generations had, and witnessed the resulting trauma and strength. Having never been through it themselves they developed the worship of struggle and elevation of suffering, as an affectation.

Then they foisted the self-loathing for themselves having never experienced it, on subsequent generations, claiming the subsequent generations were the first ones who never experienced it. And have tried to force suffering on us ever since, in an attempt to make us like their parents.

Truly the John Wayne generation, larping like the hard world gave them moral character, while sleeping in a soft Hollywood bed, coasting on the work left by real people, without even the grit of the ones who took it from the real people.

And his kids. And anyone he has done “business” with. And his cabinet and advisors and their kids and anyone they have done "business"with. And any person or company that has done well during his term.

See, I used to think that they just needed to read their bible to understand how fucked up their religion is, but I have since realized they love the rape on their own, without needing to be convinced by it’s crazy commands. So in the end, I don’t think reading will help.

You think raping women was an act?

You just described capitalism. I think it’s strange that so many people are pinning this flaw on AI. I guess AI just made it all start happening fast enough, and to the right people, that y’all noticed?

Anyway sure, let’s tear it down. I can’t be down with you if you just want to get back to last decade and before, when the “stealing mangling bullshit polluting machine” was only stealing people’s ideas and destroying environments outside your own though.

It’s like being a kid on sesame street and staring into the distance saying “boy I sure wish I knew how to tie my shoes.”

I don’t like to think of it as not having a home, more like home is everywhere.

I’ve answered you twice. Once plainly. Once concisely. Can you not understand either answer? Your attitude makes you seem disingenuous. I understand that this is perhaps, frustration. Either way, I hope you have a good day.

To 1939 levels, but on wealth, not just income.

I’m sorry I didn’t realize that was confusing. A specialized chunk of the human mind used for language, removed from the rest of a human and the universe, does not reach a conscious threshold worthy of major consideration. Just like a severed finger. A bare LLM, removed from the rest of the the digital apparatus and the universe, does not reach a conscious threshold worthy of major consideration

Now, I’ll ask you one. Do you think there are conscious non-human animals? Or do you believe that is a trait only humans possess?

So are you of the belief that “we don’t know” or “definitely not”?

He has a long history of anything but. You obviously have a very reactionary set of fixed beliefs though.

No more than I believe Broca’s area and Wernicke’s area are conscious, but neither exist in a vacuum devoid of the rest of the organism and surrounding universe.

Thank you for adding clarity to the understanding that holds your viewpoint.

His body of work speaks for itself. I can assume since you are attempting to stand against his knowledge with your own, that your understanding is equally as proven.

Can you link me to some of your work?

All these words, still no answer. Still arguing against your own strawman.

That’s not what I asked. Every response you have given has been slippery and imprecise at best, and misleading at worst. I think you just don’t want to say “magic god juice” because it rightfully sounds silly, but you really think “magic god juice” is what humans have.

I never said it was unimportant. You have jumped to a lot of unfounded conclusions.

Do you believe that all animals are just unconscious reaction machines, except humans?
