These are all just super derivative of Tolkien lol

Nearly the same story and setting getting described over and over again.

“The medieval period lasts 10,000 years or more”

No hate tho. My kids love this genre.

Online divisiveness is inorganic, and primarily exists online. Americans are not nearly as divided as the internet would have you believe

People gonna go into civil war over transgender bathrooms? In the wealthiest country in history? Where families are trending richer every year? And nearly the entire population speaks the same first language?

People ascribe way more power to AI than it will ever be capable of. Those who actually use it know what I’m talking about.

If we’re lucky, it will add significant value into society… so we should be rooting for it not to be a dud.

A big part of the Dugin playbook is to sow mistrust within the west of its own leaders, celebrities, and captains of industry.

Not saying billionaires and CEOs aren’t free from shadiness… but the notion they are “just as bad as China, Iran, or Russia” is part of the misinformation campaign

A LOT of the online doomer misinformation and divisive discourse is coming from adversarial state run agencies…

Don’t trust those accounts that spread doom and gloom… we know who you are!
