^ I'm not sure, but I don't think so.

^ beautiful, thanks tzdon!

Of course, "journalists" were outraged only when they saw Google AI showing "diverse people" as naz*s. These people's mental maps are as empty as a desert

Of course, Google AI was going to be some woke trash. This AI is as dumb as its freaking creators. Here are images of Swedish women for Gemini

Miyazaki is absolutely right. This is a very Japanese way of thinking. My karate teachers/teachings are like that in a way. This is not only great for their success and story telling, but they allow guys like VaatiVidya to create great videos like this one. This is free ads and expansion for them. Anonymous people work for their stories freely. Robert and the armored knight video is beautiful.

Looks really good!

Political bias and modern type of soviets:

An AI that pushes political agenda is another seed of totalitarianism / socialism:

Oligopolies that ally with parties to influence elections is one of several seeds of socialism:

In short, here's a summary:

The prosperity of Western Europe (and its children like the USA, Canada or Australia) comes from the fact that there's been (for centuries) a sane competition between and within these countries. Even in the Holy Roman Empire, the structure was built on competition between princes, lords and houses. Competition has brought many intellectual and technological breakthroughs that led to prosperity. Contrary to what a lof of nonsensical leftist "thinkers" believe, Western countries became the world leaders in the 19th/20th century, NOT because they stole a bunch of resources (primary sector) in poor countries, but because their industry (secondary sector) was far superior than anyone else's. The industry has been the key to prosperity, and, competition is the core engine of the industry. I agree with you that most of the tertiary sector is composed of BS jobs. Tertiary companies and jobq are widely overvalued. The reason why there's so much overvaluation is because the competitive intensity has largely decreased in the West. Sane States are supposed to prevent over-concentration in the industry, but that's not what we did. Big oligopolies (Google, Amazon, General Electric, AT&T, Disney, etc.) were allowed. Less competition, less efficient industry, less creativity. This replicates the same flaws that socialist/communist economies have. In short, the industry made the West rich and then Western leaders spoiled it to redistribute it to a BS tertiary economy. The question of a strong leader is a separate topic. BTW, I don't believe that Trump was an autocrat (there are lots of checks and balances in the US and he had the media against him), but Biden's administration is closer to it (it has the media and shitloads of big companies behind it). Trump has a strong character, but his admin was not as forceful as Biden's. People wanted Trump to get rid of corruption and corrupted ideas (like wokism and all the follies that the far left recently developed).

^ Kojima always have original ideas! Looks really interesting.

I love that wikipedia says "Communism (...) is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology". Ok.... "Left to far-left" Communism is totally far-left, but I guess the wikipedia's writers wanted to water down the perception of this crazy ideology. Typical wikipedia Communism is not just about economics (at least wikipedia agrees on this point), it's also a sociopolitical movement whose aim is total control of society. They can't achieve communism without strong government control. Otherwise, their regime can't hold, pockets of "capitalism" will recreate. Communism is primarily a totalitarianism. Hannah Arend't book on the origins of totalitarianism is a must on the subject. Putin is a former agent of KGB. He's obsessed with control. Russia is what we used to call a "transition economy", but it turns out it has lost of relics from the communist era (the oligarchs being one).

Happy Valentine's day!
