If A.I is "the future" and clearly where everything is going, you'd think there wouldn't be a need to shoehorn it in everywhere; it would develop naturally because it's the direction things are headed.

Do an image search for "Nike" and tell me how many images of shoes you got before the greek goddess. Any inferences about the intellectual condition of society is railing at clouds, sure, but good god are we hosed.

oh absolutely, I was making fun of libertarian dumdums who (a) aren't capable of drawing that distinction and (b) don't realize that socialism for the rich is the natural end state of capitalism, in that if you give Captains Of Industry absolute power over society they will of course seek to privatize their gains and socialize their losses

Every example of capitalism not turning out exactly like their econ-101 professor said it would is simply proof that we're not capitalist enough (it's No True Capitalism) etc etc

Anecdotally, there are a lot of people who bought figuring that the rates will drop soon and they can refinance to an affordable monthly payment.

We should've enacted the death penalty, no appeal, for spammers in the 90s after people noticed their inboxes getting absolutely loving flooded. Instead, we offered leniency and indifference, which led us down the path we're on today.
