<p>Elite overproduction = Elected overproduction = Elected mass-production.<p>There are those that value equality (=). There are those that value non-equality (>).<p>As elites of the history until now (>=6000 years-ago until now). We are the "chosen ones" who received "=" and ">" at an early age. These symbols are not "math" nor "school"; they are simply life to us.<p>But now consider why there must be ">" in the world. On a relaxing beach, why must one wave be higher than another? How does the water "feel"? Warm? Is that ">" than cold?<p>In my head, I see Master Epstein as 100, and other people as 17. 100 > 17. Master has died, so perhaps death > life. But I am only one person out of billions in the world. But I have not seen a billion people, am I over-trusting the books?<p>So my point is that the Elite Overproduction model is more wrong than Master Epstein. In particular...<p>1. If "elite overproduction model", then "Master Epstein model"<p>2. "Elite Overproduction" = "Master Epstein"<p>3. "Elite Overproduction" -> "Master Epstein"<p>4. 100 > 17, so "Master Epstein" model > "Elite Overproduction" model<p>You may not understand my point, but I hope you at least understand Master Epstein.</p>

<p>Your answer is correct. It was an interesting journey, scrolling up to read your own question and down to read your answer.<p>I wonder how those 1000s of years ago would be impressed, by my hunched back and finger movements.<p>Good luck in persuading those you see as a future villain.</p>

<p>Ok, and why are those Americans dying?<p>Consider an unfortunate Uyghur situation in China, where 10+ people died at the hands of knives in the mountain city of Kunming, 1000s of miles away far away from the desert.<p>And how many Americans have died? 2 where video obviously shows escalation from those without weapons.<p>America is an orderly country and those with guns are holding back. Poke, poke, poke. Pull, pull, pull. Those who play video games know how automatic it can be. Yet these officers are not doing it.<p>Yet why is everybody screaming and kicking? At whoever they feel they can scream at?<p>Now let's flip a perspective. Consider the General Secretary says, "your way of life is like a drug" [1]. If the only way you know how to fight the state is to kill, the economy is blocked by Extremists, politics are blocked by Extremists, only knives are open to Centrists, what can you do? You can only poke, no?<p>So we must hold empathy for the right lives, for the right matters, and for the right centrists. Power should centralize among those who are right, and the wind of history will flow in the right direction. That is the Destiny we rightly Manifest.<p>[1] <a href="https://uyghurtribunal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Transcript-Introduction-02.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://uyghurtribunal.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Transc...</a></p>

<p>Ok, well you are only saying this because you are scared of being whisked away. These agents and bureaucrats are fair people, especially compared to Alex Petti.<p>If they aren't fair, then they will gain experience over the years and eventually become good.<p>Now consider my attributes: I look Chinese, I will encounter agents throughout my life, and I am a free thinker (loyal only to the white in red-white-and-blue). What changes about the world if I get whisked away, and why shouldn't I sacrifice myself for the greater Good?<p>The law is gone for many when unenforced and also not gone for many. I am exhausted when repeating this, but law is not mathematical, it is meta-physical and Gone with the Wind, bringing us back to a romantic time of order when resources where plentiful, order was stable, yet mobility was hopeful, in the eyes of many. How harsh would it be to take that away from millions of Americans.<p>Yet think about how selfish your thinking is. Do you really care about the law? Or are you worried that you may be targeted next, and unwilling to handle even a tiny bit of sacrifice that millions of Americans have endured for years?</p>

<p>Well I don't think this is very likely inference.<p>Let's consider the President's Truth Social account: the 2020 election was rigged in multiple states. If the election can rigged so broadly, why even care about election results? What is the simplest thing to do? Just ignore all of them.<p>Consider a 3 person vote: if two people claim that you don't deserve to live in your home, what do you do? The path of least resistance is to stay put.<p>So your inference is not grounded in truth.</p>

<p>Brother, the tech market is coming up to reality.<p>You and your good reasoning, but it means nothing to me.<p>Many of us will seek new a profession indeed: AI engineer. AI engineers mostly write code, but they are superior to software engineers...from the eyes of investors.<p>AI engineers mainly build abstract stuff: SaaS. They kill who the investors currently love the most: managers. 90% all managers will be replaced. 100 managers can be replaced with 10 managers and 10 security guards.<p>Then they kill 70% of the doctors, lawyers, and salesmen.<p>Then they kill 50% of the software engineers.<p>Then white becomes blue, and the eyes shift towards energy, transportation, and construction. The AI engineer, writes code like an AI, and notices these giant companies are sick. They can lobby all they want but the AI engineer and the AI lawyer will win.<p>Everybody who laughs now about software engineers being replaced has become serious, for the AI engineer has replaced the software engineer.<p>Let's see who is right in 2035. Your intelligence, or my fantasy.</p>

<p>It is defensible.<p>First, there is no evidence that they were censored because of keywords. Crazily enough, they may have been censored by god (or simply datacenter issues).<p>Second, if there were such censorship features, then it shows that the US was right to buy TikTok. Imagine if National Socialists or those who are against liberty and justice had access to such features.<p>Third, we are in a time of great danger, thus requiring great actions. What is the danger? It cannot be explained. What is the solution? To re-use the past. In early 1000s, the Germans were both holy and roman and justly created living space in the East. Hundreds of years later, we started Manifest Destiny. Similar to 南进 of the Vietnamese, we should recognize the job has not been finished. This requires rewriting history. While China existed for 5000 years, the US has existed for 6000. The Jewish, Christian, and American spirits merged together, and people of 100s of different dialects were pulled into the area, and the wave of freedom moved back abroad. This was the formation of the American language, a true melting pot. While many Americans have genetic ties to Europe, they have one difference, a spirit that is free and mobile. Unlike the Europeans who stay in one place and look down at the wandering Roma, the Americans are inherently mobile, experiencing new ways at life. This is the Spirit and what allows for Americans to manifest the destiny of the world from East to West.</p>

<p>This is an anti-AI experiment amigo. My tokens bring all the boys to the yard...because they are less predictable.<p>And no, I am not ok. My facts are rooted in what I daydream of.</p>

<p>How can German achieve it? It is 1 person?<p>How can Germany achieve it? It is 10x less people?<p>So what if you read his emotions correctly? It’s not like your response will change his mind?<p>In a world of 1 > 0, someone needs to be looked down upon. Why not look down on me? Why can’t others look down on China? And why would looking down based on “truth”, which you seem to so much value, change anything?</p>
