I think we should give you a lobotomy to make you more socially compatible with civilized humans. That way you could actually pass as a human.

Maybe we should pathologize whatever unique character traits you have, and throw you in the loony bin for being insane.

I agree that allowing political conservatism is the best solution we have at the moment. But I disagree with not investigating it as a neurological issue that might have other, also effective, avenues for treatment with ultimately the person choosing which treatment is best for them. Hell the declassification of conservatism as a mental health issue was politically motivated without sufficient evidence to prove that in some cases conservatism might not simply be its own thing rather than a symptom.

I would say specifically Jewish lawmakers, both Democrat and Republican. That would fit their narrative well.

The easiest attack to false-flag would be an automated drone attack against a stateside US military base. Remember that Ukraine Spiderweb drone attack from a few weeks back?

Ukraine built shipping containers with attack drones and retractable roofs. They contracted hapless Russian freight operators to deliver these shipping containers close to Russian air force bases. Then they remotely activated them, retracted the roofs, and had the drones take off to attack Russian airplanes just a few miles away.

This kind of attack would be trivially easy to false-flag. At least with a false flag in-person terrorist attack, there are people involved. You can dig into the backgrounds of the actual attackers and maybe uncover links to intelligence agencies.

But an automated drone attack? Just drop off a shipping container near a military base at night. Have the drones fly out in the middle of the day and attack some noncritical base or military infrastructure. Maybe have them blow up some planes that were set for decommissioning soon anyway. Maybe kill a few expendable soldiers in the process. Then fake and release some shipping manifest to tie the attack to Iran.

It's a fantastic false flag attack method. It would be nearly impossible to prove as a fake. And it's the kind of attack that military planners are already shouting the alarm over, as we've seen just this month how effective such an attack can be. Hell, the CIA could probably even be able to get a hold of some Iranian drones for the project. Russia has used a fair number of those in Ukraine, and I'm sure a good number have been downed or captured reasonably intact. The CIA likely already has actual Iranian drones. They could simply use some of those in a false flag attack.

Simple. Let's let them just have their nukes, on the condition that their program be run entirely by female nuclear scientists!

I'm going to fucking kill Osama Bin Ladin. I'm going to build a time machine, go back in time, and strangle the motherfucker with my own two hands.

That's out of pocket!

Languages are primarily created and evolved by teenagers. It's always been this way. Each new generation finds new ways of contextualizing the world, and new ways of explaining aspects of it. Teenagers create tons of new experimental words. Most have short half-lives and peter out over time. Some turn out to be genuinely linguistically useful and survive the test of time.

It's a safe bet that the vast majority of words you use on a daily basis were first uttered by a teenager somewhere in the recent or distant past.

Language evolves through teens.

Believe it or not, 98% in Esperanto.

Nah, go for the darker more realistic version. Mulder just goes further down the rabbit hole, ends up going full Qanon, and ends up being killed trying to storm the capital building.

Things will, in fact, calm up.

Truth. We need to massively regulate social media. If I had my way, I would prohibit any large social media site from offering any kind of content stream algorithmically targeted to a single user.

This wouldn't be a restriction on speech. You could still have your website and publish whatever you wanted. You could still have sites where people can upload user content. But something like YouTube would look far different. YouTube could have one main page of content they show everyone, but they couldn't have individual feeds for individual users. If you wanted to find content not on the main page, you would have to find it yourself. You would have to find channels, subscribe to them, share recommendations with friends, etc. If people want to create their own curated content feed, that's fine. But they have to be the ones that do it.

We don't even need to ban social media. What we need to completely ban is individually-targeted algorithmic content. That's what's lead us to the insanity we are currently experiencing. And this should apply to everyone, not just kids. If anything adults need this more than kids do.

The real problem - how do you deal with bots? Sure, we could start a new nerd movement to say, revive web rings and personal websites. But with LLMS and other AIs, how do you keep that whole ecosystem from just being flooded with AI content?

The nerds got their wish granted in the most monkeys-paw way possible. For 20 years or so, computer nerds were trying to tell everyone about the internet. They saw the potential and what it could be. They were early adopters, and they wished that everyone could appreciate this wonderful thing they had discovered or helped invent.

Well, they got their wish...

The idea (from around 2010ish) was that every platform is an app and every app is everything. A company buys up other smaller companies until you have a payment system, a marketplace, a VOIP system, advertising, job posting boards, 4 different waya to share media, etc. etc.

You're describing AOL. This is nothing new. And just as AOL failed and faded, so will the social media giants.

If I had a lot of money I would fund the creation of a new search engine. It would operate entirely on a white list model. And every website on it would be reviewed by people, for people. No posts from any social media site would be allowed; only small webpages. To be featured in the engine, sites would have to have verifiable human origins. So personal blogs made by real people or small businesses with actual physical addresses that can be fully verified in the real world. In order to get your business featured, you would have to apply, and someone would physically have to visit you in order to verify your authenticity. Oh, and any website that uses AI in any form would simply be ineligible to appear on the search engine.

Yes, this would result in a drastically reduced pool of potential sites, but what remains would be absolute gold.

Girl: this is my house, my name's on the fucking deed. GTFO you weirdo.
