I remember when there was rhetoric like this about the Vietnam war. He’s speed-running all of the bad wars in one.

No machine should be allowed to use a first-person pronoun. When a telephone robot says “I will connect you” it’s lying. There is no “I”.

Any truth to the rumor that the U.S. national anthem is being changed to the Disintegration Loops?

Exactly why people with untold wealth rapidly go barking mad, as the world of people they interact with becomes populated with sycophants and toadies.

(Also people who are catapulted into huge fame at a young age… Star musicians, actors, athletes, etc)

It may be useful to distinguish between self-identified christians for whom it is a faith that requires them to accept certain obligations — versus self-identified christians for whom it is a tribe that confers special privileges

For the same reason the media didn’t address the Jan 6 thugs shitting all over the Capitol. The truth seems exaggerated.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
