Substituting your own information syntheses, memory and deduction Willa trophy this faculties, leading to people who can’t think. Everything their mind needs to complete thought, particularly complex thoughts, connect to an external device. Their thoughts will resemble Swiss cheese, partial ideas with numerous large gaps.

Be good company and time spent anywhere becomes worthwhile. It has to start somewhere or capitalism will continue to price us out of even the simplest of human experiences.

Capitalism exploits compulsions to extract resources causing markets to neglect investing in themselves.

We’re both on a Lemmy instance, neither of us represent our generations.

Then stop going out for dates. Who convinced you that capitalism has to be a third wheel on your dates? Y’all too dependent on market capitalism to provide for you.

Well now I’m getting conflicting messages. I’m gonna have to do my own untrained research on this with my friend Grok. We’ll figure out whats what.

AOC President with Bernie as Senate Majority Leader.

It isn’t that weird. Users have a very low tolerance for independence, especially as tech markets itself to less and less tech savvy userbases(like Gen alpha and z). They do what their screens tell them to for the most part.

K but what’s the real reason they stopped it?

Corrupt justice systems require alternative methods. Don’t want vigilante justice? Then ensure actual justice exists. Cops and politicians and rich ppl and connected ppl all corrupt justice by avoiding accountability. Trump being the POTUS twice over is all I need to know about whether the Justice system is about justice or something else, like oppression, coercion, intimidation and control.

Stealing isn’t borrowing.

We must assume yes and respond accordingly. Which is to say, doing nothing while we watch the midterms be undermined by election manipulation ensuring republican rule forever and Trump dies the first King of America.

Not really. The whole point is that they only feel uncomfortable when they can see it, so they fight to ensure it can’t be seen, not for it to not exist. The public are a disappointment clump of morons who constantly fuck over our collective futures.

“Man crushed by boulder while playing with rocks.”

Real News doesn’t have any impact so why not just make shit up?

Then kick them the fuck out of office.

Thinking is hard and ppl would prefer to feel, instead. When you just have to vibe with your AI that thinks for you, ppl will absolutely use it and disempower themselves under the illusion of empowerment. They will infantilize themselves and end up being treated like the children they want to be.

Yeah but sunglasses make it very visible so people can’t pretend it doesn’t exist and have to confront how it feels to experience living in a surveillance state. They don’t like that.

Stop giving rich ppl more rich. In as much as you can? Idk I’m asking the same question.

Okay. I thought about it like you asked and I seem to have very quickly reached a different conclusion. Thanks for the suggestion to think about it.
