“The RATs are like comic-book villains, absolutely evil yet bat-shit crazy at the same time.”
Dis, you wrote that to me yesterday and I didn’t respond because it set off a continuing internal debate. My reality POV is not reflected by the majority of people surrounding me.
Evil and Bat Guano cray cray are out there. But they are a minority. There are those who sold themselves to that age-old power, but they are the elite. In my circle, most are rational based on their sources of information. Therein lies the problem.
While taking notes on the debate, I played Fair Witness, just the facts. When I wrote my observations, I had to stop when I got to the part about Silicon Valley telling Pete they couldn’t compete with China’s AI dominance. I was stunned how that statement innocuously and effectively masked the darker truth. It’s impossible to compete if you are a partner/mentor.
Our journey has been long and labor-intensive. Good people I know whose reality is shaped by DS media abound. WWG1WGA (minus a few bad apples of course).

It's ludicrous, isn't it?
Last I checked, the language of software is English. All the best innovators are American. The actual economic engine is American capitalism, with the Chinese communist economy existing as a parasite.
The sooner we excise this parasite by cutting off economic ties, as we did with the USSR, the better.
