  • College Degree

  • The GI Bill allowed soldiers that fought Hitler the opportunity to obtain the same level of education previously reserved for generations of the ruling class.

    That was the first real instance of DEI in America, and the ruling class has been doing everything in their power to take back their exclusive club ever since by dividing and conquering.

    I know people think Russia is trying to infiltrate the U.S. because the cold war never really ended, but I'm pretty sure we've been thinking about it backwards. I'm starting to believe that our elite knew they couldn't topple American democracy to regain power from within without making it too obvious, so they purchased/privatized post Soviet Russia so they wouldn't have to say the quiet parts out loud.

  • College Degree

    Jump

  • The Trump administration past: just about everybody in this administration has a college degree from an ivy league university, but it's ok because we're the ruling elite. It's time we took those academic "elitists" down a peg or 2

    The Trump administration present: You can wipe your ass with that degree and get a job working in a factory, like many of your parents did.

    The Trump administration near future: The economy is still shit because we wrecked it, automated or outsourced everything we could, and put all our eggs into one shitty AI basket that didn't pan out. Now there are way too many people with degrees competing for the few remaining jobs, most of which don't require a degree.

    Resources are becoming scarce, disease is rampant, American children are dying at an unprecedented rate, disasters can't be prepared for because we fired all the people that did that, and we keep pushing policies that increase unplanned pregnancies. In short, shit sucks but is mostly just going according to the original plan.

    All the immigrants have been rounded up and trafficked to El Salvador, so, who is left to act as the scapegoat for the ruling elite?

    You know why things are so bad in the very near future, America?

    "It's because the educated elite were rewarded for so long for being fiscally irresponsible and went into debt over useless college degrees. Now they're taking all the American jobs, they're eating the cats and the dogs, and they are milking this once great country for all its worth."

  • Palantir CEO Alex Karp praises Saudi engineers and takes a swipe at Europe, saying it has 'given up' on AI

  • I think it could be life changing, but true progress will take time, like any tech. There's a reason most scientists know you can't just throw money at something and just make it work. That's why technocracy and the idea of chosen elite is so fucking dumb.

    Imagine if in the 80s we had just said ok, Steve Jobs did it. We're done here. We don't give any outside voices or ideas in tech a chance unless Jobs gives it the ok first. Imagine how much cool shit we would have missed out on if people hadn't just said fuck it I don't need all that money, I'll just make my own shit and make it work with what I have.

    Innovation and progress does not flourish in a neatly controlled box, and most people that don't just buy other people's work know that. That's the real reason people started pushing for DEI. Not just bc it was the "PC" thing to do. It helps bring new perspectives which then leads to new ways of thinking and problem solving.

    If you completely isolate AI you may get some cool shit but eventually if you just buy out the entire market to fit your singular vision you get repeating/boring and stale.

    I'm pretty sure they think they're at a point where if they just keep throwing money at it, it will just start getting creative and update itself, but when it's as unreliable as it is, I don't see that happening anytime soon

  • I'm not saying I believe its important, the president believes it's important bc Thiel has been funding him and making policy decisions since his first term, most people (myself included) just didn't notice it until the second one.

    The first time, he tried to promote AI deregulation while insisting we would retain American values that helped us be better than China's surveillance state, but then Trump lost power and Thiel lost 4 years of progress at the global AI table because of those values (democracy and the constitution). Now that he's gotten his seat back he's not going to risk ever letting it go. IF he ever intended to try to maintain or respect those values before, he certainly doesn't now.

    That is why the truth behind Trump/JD Vance/Adrian Vermeule's argument for a constitutional interpretation of strong executive authority needs to be made loud and clear.

    I cannot comprehend how anyone who is not already a billionaire could be dumb enough to support this, but let's just be honest about what you're supporting.

  • Bc you're paying attention and not sticking your head in the sand.

    It feels like it bc they definitely are. I'm in Louisiana and just woke up to find out news my corrupt Governor is being accused of scheming to install a new senator so that he can then have them resign and take both Senate and governor seats for himself.

    Report: President Trump and Gov Landry discuss U.S. Rep Julia Letlow as a potential challenger to Senator Cassidy in 2026 Republican primary

    One of several examples of how Landry and Trump seem to be scheming together to be as corrupt as possible

    Even for Louisiana that's a whole other level of corruption..not even the first Louisiana governor to do it, but the last one was in the 30s.

    The last governor that was this blatant about corruption also had a personal vendetta against my city and tried to take it under siege using the national guard

    Guess what else the current governor and his doge inspired task force are scheming

    I hated it bc it was like an extra step, but I was literally the only kid in my school to never have cavities even though I would try to skip brushing all the time. And yeah you called it with the executive dysfunction, but didn't find out I had ADHD until I was an adult

    Jump

  • I agree, and as I keep trying to point out to people in the U.S., I'm pretty sure the reason Trump is not even giving GOP loyalists emergency disaster money when something happens in their state, is because there's nothing left.

    He literally put all of America's eggs in one basket because he (and Peter Thiel) thought/think if they just deregulate everything and keep throwing money at it as fast as possible they will win, and other countries will be coming to us to buy our AI.

    Tbf they are definitely planning to use it for evil, not to make humanity better, but I still don't see why anybody would buy AI tech from the U.S.

    I am wondering what happened in Brussels though, that made them say they're considering some deregulation.

    Trump was also very pissy at all of the EU but apparently Brussels in particular really hurt his ego

  • Somehow this was never really picked up on/reported after Trump's first term, but I try to spread this information as much as I can.

    Trump's CTO during his first term, was Peter Thiel's protege. In March of 2020, Trump asked him to use cutting edge technology to fight COVID disinformation and track the spread of the virus before it got out of hand.

    That's also the guy he picked for his fucking science advisor this time around, and now he's asked him to "blaze a trail," for U.S. tech supremacy.

    From the 2020 Hill article

    The White House on Wednesday asked the tech industry’s top players to help the government in the fight against coronavirus, tapping the expertise of companies like Apple, Facebook and Amazon to help beat back falsehoods and use artificial intelligence to glean new insights into the fast-spreading virus.

    In a phone call, U.S. Chief Technology Officer Michael Kratsios implored the companies to help out with an “all-hands-on-deck effort” to fight the new coronavirus.

    “The White House’s top priority is ensuring the safety and health of the American people amid the COVID-19 outbreak,” Kratsios said in a statement. “Cutting edge technology companies and major online platforms will play a critical role in this all-hands-on-deck effort.”
