“One person philosophizes though he lacks a tunic, another without a book, another one is half-naked, saying: “I have no bread, but I hold fast to Reason. And I too receive no physical sustenance from my studies, but I hold fast to them.”
~ “The Essential Marcus Aurelius” pg. 33
“It was woke, so it was lame. Now it’s not woke, so it must be good.”
May I direct you to Aristotle’s syllogistic logic? The badness of what came before does not establish the goodness of what replaces it.
I understand and that’s why I said standby. If this needs to be done, I will do it first and bear the consequences. But I won’t act out of emotion or without a plan. And not until we have devised a clear path to victory.
@CBSNews The only fraud is the money the government is extorting from the citizens. Anyone who figures out away to steal some of their own money back from the government, good on them.
Once the government has the money it is no longer “stealing money from taxpayers.” It’s taking back.

@jeremykauffman It’s not the AI doomers that are the problem, it’s those in positions of power that will corrupt and monopolize it and AI will just end up like the AI form of CNN and MSNBC.
A recent Princeton study analyzed over 20 years of voting and polling data and found that American voters have a "near-zero, statistically insignificant impact on public policy."
So, if the US government doesn't represent the People, the obvious question becomes, "Does a political solution remain? Can we vote our way out of this, or is it too late already?"
