The German word sonder can give you an extreme competitive advantage in life.

It means this: every person you pass on the street has the same complexity of life that you do.

Their own love interests, their own family, their own concentric rings of relationships and history radiating out from them.

Most of the time we just walk by people like they’re objects in our field of vision.

Sonder is the practice of actually feeling that about the people around you.

The paradox is that the more you dial into that, the less significant you feel, nd the less significant you feel, the happier you get.

The moment you make everything about yourself, you stop getting satisfied.

But when you realize you’re just another cog in the wheel doing your best alongside everyone else doing theirs, people sense it.

People will relax around you. That’s when real connection happens.

@DavidBCollum So we dont care of they get chips for parity then.... I guess there goes the premise we need to build all the data centers to maintain a competitive advantage.

@CAgovernor Well you billions back to circulate through the ngo racket.

@MerlijnTrader And then for those that didn't save properly you can have the IRS as your new best friend. How about giving ordinary citizens the ability to have tax shelters like the elite.

🚨RESEARCHERS JUST MATHEMATICALLY PROVED THAT AI LAYOFFS WILL DESTROY THE ECONOMY.. AND EVERY CEO ALREADY KNOWS IT.. BUT NONE OF THEM CAN STOP..

Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper called "The AI Layoff Trap"..

They proved something terrifying..

Every company replacing workers with AI is also firing its own customers.. Every laid-off employee is someone who used to spend money.. When enough people lose their jobs.. Nobody can afford to buy anything.. And the companies that fired everyone go bankrupt selling products to an economy with no purchasing power..

Every CEO can see this coming.. The math is obvious.. Fire workers.. Lose customers.. Lose revenue.. Collapse..

But here's the trap..

No company can afford to stop..

If you don't automate.. Your competitor will.. They cut costs.. Undercut your prices.. Steal your market share.. And you die anyway..

So every company automates.. Knowing it's collectively suicidal.. Because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives..

It's a Prisoner's Dilemma.. And the researchers proved it mathematically..

The numbers are already stacking up..

Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year.. CEO Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that "within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion"..

Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI..

Goldman Sachs deployed an AI coder that lets one senior engineer do the work of a five-person team..

Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 alone.. AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half the cases..

80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation..

And here's what should scare policymakers..

The researchers tested every proposed solution..

Universal Basic Income.. Doesn't fix it.. It raises living standards but doesn't change a single company's incentive to automate..

Capital income taxes.. Don't fix it.. They change profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human..

Worker equity and profit sharing.. Narrows the gap but can't close it..

Collective bargaining.. Can't fix it.. Because automating is a dominant strategy.. No voluntary agreement between companies is self-enforcing..

Only one thing works.. A Pigouvian automation tax.. A per-task charge that forces every company to pay for the demand it destroys when it fires a worker..

The researchers call it a "Red Queen effect".. Better AI doesn't solve the problem.. It makes it worse.. Because every company sees a bigger market share gain from automating faster than rivals.. But at the end.. Everyone automates equally.. The gains cancel out.. And the only thing left is more destroyed demand..

The paper's conclusion is devastating..

This isn't a transfer from workers to company owners.. Both sides lose.. Workers lose their income.. Companies lose their customers.. It's a deadweight loss that harms everyone..

And no market force can break the cycle..

The AI layoff trap isn't a prediction.. It's already happening.. And the math says it won't stop on its own.

@RepJeffries Here is an idea for the entire lot of congressional idiots of both parties. Take away the war power act, which is the greatest workaround interested parties have to further their ends. It isnt a coincidence it was passed in 1973 after US said no to wars in foreign lands.
