Narcissus Without Beauty

Gen Z and the wokesters demand art that perfectly conforms to their beliefs and naรฏve intuitions about how the world should work. But good art is supposed to change you. If you don’t walk out of a cinema or a museum or a play or a symphony feeling like at least somewhat of a different person with an altered set of possibilities arrayed before you, that art has failed.

Instead of being changed by art, Gen Z and the woke crowd demand that art be a mirror that only shows only their own reflection.

So, total fail. I think I see your intrasexual competition coming out because Mindy was always cute, but now looks amazing without all that baby fat.

Subside

People asserting that because AI is heavily subsidized now by capital inflow it automatically in their minds follows it will be more expensive later are committing an enormous error in logic and reasoning.

There is no necessary connection at all between initial subsidization and later market price. In this case, AI will probably be cheaper overall after subsidization ends. At least for a good while.

Believing what you want to believe is a good way to end up dumb and poor while looking stupid the entire time.

The left’s belief that there has been no evolution/selection in Homo sapiens over the last 10,000 years is one of most fundamentally clownishly delusional bits of dipshittery I’ve ever heard of.
