“WTH does that mean?”

Since their goal of democracy is actually communism that would be a duality. She is actually right without even knowing it. I think it was a Freudian Slip.

It is a somewhat obscure term to many people, but I have used the term “duality” quite often in discussion lately to describe the problem with Artificial Intelligence.

In conversation, I explain the word by saying “There is a duality to almost everything. For example, a hammer can be used to build a beautiful table, but it can also be used to bash someone’s brains in.” (I believe the term is used not for a “duality” of two things that are good, but usually refers to something that has in its nature the ability to be used for both good and evil purposes.)

I have no idea what she means with respect to “Democracy” but I suspect she was probably trying to say the good that comes from representative government (not democracy) is offset by the effort needed to compromise between parties.

But who knows what that idiot meant?
