Thank goodness there’s no incentive to monetize persuasion. If we lived in a world where corporations or governments tried to constantly persuade us we would be in quite the predicament.
I wondered that a while ago when Tesla was worth more than many other car makers combined while producing far less vehicles than any single one of them. And I remember people telling me about projections and expectations and that it’s only a matter of time until everyone drives a Tesla basically. Sounded like mass hysteria to me back then because the rest of the world won’t just sit there quietly and let Tesla have a monopoly. People bought shares because they rose rapidly in value, causing even more people to buy shares. It’s a pyramid scheme like so many things these days and people have no problem with it apparently. They love gambling and playing lottery. Value investing is too boring for them.
I mean it’s pretty obvious, isn’t it? Anything regarding Chinese politics or recent history is a big no-no. Like it will tell you who the president of the US is but will refuse to tell you about the head of state in China. I’m assuming same goes for anything Taiwan or South Chinese sea. The self censorship is rather broad.
It’s a hilariously incompetent strategy by the rich because they’re more dependent on a functioning society than any other group. You can tell they’re not smart nor good leaders when they build luxury bunkers in New Zealand because those won’t save them from losing virtually (and possibly literally) everything they have. They have everything to lose and the only thing they need to do to keep their wealth and power is to contribute to the society they’re living off of. They’re failing miserably because they lack compassion. It will be their downfall.
Human exploitation and subsidies are hardly innovative nor invented in China. All major innovations in EV are made in other countries for them. If anything, innovation puts you at the losing end because China will just copy you cheaper.
How exactly is this a surprise to anyone when the same applied to crypto and NFTs already? AI and blockchain technologies are useful to experts in tiny niches so far but that’s not the usual tech savvy user. For the end user it’s just a toy with little use cases.
You should watch the video before making bad argument that only hurts the public opinion on Neurodiversity because it got nothing to do with this. Besides me and many other Neurodiverse people have our doubts about his autism claim because there just isn't much there to support it other than his claim. Neither would it excuse his behavior that isn't at all typical for autism.
I’m almost surprised it took so long. They probably timed it to have maximum impact. If they really want to get rid of someone, they’ll lock them away or shoot them at the side of a street immediately without a trial.
Any platform that offers some reach will swiftly ban you permanently if you do that.
