I have been thinking similarly of late. I assume its worse in Canada. Everyone, co-workers, bosses, friends, daily, strangers - are all in agreement on the same talking points. There is so much gaslighting now, so much condescension, such a widespread dearth of epistemological and logical training, that everyone just accepts the same narrative and spouts it off. This woman I work with has been pointing to white privilege and its relation to what happened yesterday. She's been saying the same thing all day, Chiro: "imagine if they'd been black!" - totally forgetting about what literally was allowed to happen earlier this year when thecoerprators were black.
I live thousands of miles away from you. In one evening, they've convinced those around me as much as those around you of the same narrative. Their minds are under control.
Logic is about what conclusions follow from what premises, not what conclusions are true. The media controls what premises can be known / held. The rest follows.
I told you! This is more than people convincing others in different locales. It is a singular new consciousness feeding back out of digital space into the biological world!
That's the real singularity, Kurzweil.
It's happening at the speed of thought. One organism being born. This is A.I., except that it isn't artificial but instead a new species transcending into an entirely new space, the conscious machine.
NPCs man.
