You really think Trump is the top of any chain? The bigger fish of this ocean? Have you heard him give a speech? Dude is clearly a puppet for hire. Most likely several masters over his lifetime. Including Putin.
Smart powerful people stay in the shadows. Some do come out but that's just nascissism for you.
In this case it's more like they're eating their own face. Assuming the justice system they built applies to themselves. But probably not right? If this was a normal citizen they'd have been tortured to death by now.
Though this is great. I hope the Iranian government become targets of some fun and creative AI content.
How many people eat food because they know they need it vs because they just want it. I think chronic boredom is like that but worse and far more subtle. It amplifies a lot of our other issues, such as adhd and obesity.
And I don't think you need to be bored to enjoy good entertainment. Not to mention the industry runs on greed mostly. It would be in their interest that people didn't find the problem as that could lead to people finding a cure. How would e.g. Netflix keep profiting from producing such poor content? How about those who profit so much from feeding ads to our brain dead states?
Africa has been a monstrous mess since the colonialism times. Europeans committed many atrocities there and a lot of them carried on and are what we see today. Humanity has a lot of baggage and that's mostly where today's problems come from. It's not that the world is doing a 180. More like a 30 degree turn or 45 tops.
The history behind Japan is far more complex. No one can tell what would have been the worst outcome but there were worse outcomes than the two bombs.
Though one interesting thing is that we only had 30 years between WW1 and WW2, both being horrible wars, and it has now been almost 80 years without WW3. What was the big change between the first two that made us so scared of a third?
It's all connected. Countries want to donate less. Supply is smaller, not in small part thanks to Russia's slaughter of Ukraine. The energy crisis that prompted costs rising, again, Russia. Greedy corporations increasing their slices of the pie at record rates at our time of need. Crops increasingly being lost due to the effects of the climate crisis.
Not an exhaustive list, just what comes to mind at this moment.
These problems are still workable but not with the current greed and zero-sum mindsets we get from our own population (e.g. the right in many countries letting out their fascism).
While we argue and fight, millions starve. It's not just a possible outcome, it's already happening. People who refuse to acknowledge the climate crisis, people who support Russia, greedy corporations, etc. Their hands probably haven't been as bloody since the colonial times.

It's okay since the 1s are dimensionless and so is the 3.
