@SchmidhuberAI@Pontifex Good god, you’re insufferably stupid. It’s a bit of a tragedy when intelligent individuals forget how to think, how to live. They become zombified imbeciles, stumbling with great confidence, and incompetence as they gift their pedantry to the people actually living.
@darrelltalksfi Remember to discount the $$. NPV. And there is value to the free option as well that exists with mortgages. Very small scale speculative attack on the dollar.
I sat my 7-year-old down and explained to him that dying industries (legacy media, academia, DNC politics) ride algorithmically driven cultural hysterias both because it’s the only way they can stay relevant and because their business models demand it.
He looked up at me and with a tear in his eyes asked, ‘so, for the sake of the journos, the assistant professors, and Dem Politics Inc, we’re obligated to attest to the moral urgency of the hysteria and act completely emotionally dysregulated?’
‘Yes,’ I answered him. ‘Yes, that’s right.’
And then we both sat quietly.
