"I work in big tech - I know what is possible and it is frightening me."

Yeah me too, although I'd say 'concerned sincerely', not frightened.

Have you seen Jordan Peterson's new project?

We know big tech, especially social media, is sleeping with the lefties, just as education and media and academia are and have been for a loooooooong time, and these nutbag social media employees who turn into their leadership are products of their propaganda education, no disagreement that it's infected, and it's a serious infection.

I think where we are different is merely on the level of our emotional response. For various reasons, I believe, when it comes to this, the US has the flu (and probably always will,) and you believe it's plausibly and perhaps probably terminal cancer.

But we both believe the US is sick.

How strong is our immune system? How deadly is the disease/infection? What's the prognosis? You are frightened, I am only sincerely concerned. My life is not made negative by it.

America will tolerate a lot of crap before they put a stop to something. But as I think Winston said 'The American people generally do the right thing, but only after they have tried everything else.'

So I won't argue that the patient isn't sick, only that ... in part, the patient has always been sick ... and this isn't going to be what kills him, nor will it be the thing that weakened him so much that another normally non-lethal thing killed him.

Be a warrior, but be a happy warrior. We are sick, have always been, but we have a strong immune system. It's always at work, but only shows itself to the worldly senses when things get really really out of hand. Right now, there is only one 'really.'

Yes, I’m interested in his project.

I agree the concern is a level of severity - be it more of a concern for tomorrow than today. As all this data becomes more connected and people become more creative in squeezing information from it - I fear that future conservative politicians will be crushed before ever becoming known. Beyond that, just impact the ability to earn a living. It is coming if nothing is done.
