    People will never understand intricacies like that. On the other hand, the big tech corps do. We are doomed

      Yeah. And to think, it’s a fairly small amount of nuance - it’s very basic and intuitive and information about it is literally everywhere. We are hopeless when it comes to far more complex and nuanced social issues we face like rehabilitation or ethnocentrism or trans athletes or the what have you.

      People seem to think socialism and any progress is like “be nice to each other” or some stupid aestheticism about “empathy”.

      There’s basically no way to have a conversation with them most of the time, they are so far gone and their fully formed thoughts seem more like inaccurate shorthands, it’s like trying to explain astrodynamics to a dog when it’s actively trying not to understand them.

      Normies are the death of us all.
