opportunists would gather around a piece of shit if it benefited them

Is it really sustainable ? I'm just not sure it's a viable alternative to eating less meat and farming with sustainable and regenerative practices.

It's worth acknowledging when you're artificially pinging your dopamine system. When you eat tasty food, when you drink coffee, when you smoke weed. Stimulating yourself by browsing the Internet aimlessly falls into this category too.

Saying "troll and harass" doesn't really do the subject justice. I would rather describe it with the words "manipulate and influence."

When do you think the manipulation started? It's certainly not a new concept. It's inherently human.

It has just evolved in modern times to use the Internet as a tool, but it's always been happening.

Occams razor most certainly applies here. It doesn't just apply to foreign governments but also all the nefarious factions around the world.

The evidence is all around you, psyops everywhere.

Naw man, everyone who can exercise influence by the methods we are broadly referencing is already doing it.

It is harder to explain why the powerful Chineese wouldn't be doing it when every other relevant group is.

Cognitive domain, it's not a new concept.

Security from psyops. Duh ..

You're a good friend. 👍

The year is 2043, and Chumlee has been uploaded to the Metaverse.

"I remember those," Chumlee said, his voice echoing through the virtual space. "Let me run this by my valuation expert, the all-knowing singularity."

A moment later, Chumlee's eyes widened in surprise. "Fourteen trillion?" he repeated.

"That's what it says," the singularity replied.

Chumlee shook his head. "I can't believe it. I'll give you two."

That is not a good approach. The info shit is flowing and never ending, it's designed to to fuck with you.

The Keynesian theory that was enforced by the largest military in the world has arguably failed at this point.

Free markets don't exist. It's just a load of assumptions.

You lack imagination and swallow the pill handed to you. Maybe the economic theory is just bullshit thought to you by the people who benefit most from said theory.
