One guys stops reading post 2022 books and civilization will end?

Everyone has their own standards. There are people not reading post 1900 books for a while and we still have new books. Let people live by their own rules ffs

You wrote all that to some weirdo you don't give 2 shits? Even copied their closing quote? Hmm

> (and yet i do it anyways) > which status would I be seeking

You just answered your own question there. Being perceived as different, as beyond social conventions, as too cool for silly language rules. Or as they put in your parent comment - nonchalant

That's not how politics works, and you probably know it. "Easily passing laws" is not a matter of voting demographics but of political power, and any thinking person knows political power usually does not belong to younger voters.

You have conveniently left out the cons and only listed the pros. That's just a comment in bad faith.

If any other project/model had the same amount of money poured into it with this exact same goal, they'd have found it as well. Unsurprisingly, Mythos is effective at executing tasks which it was designed and trained to execute. Turns out, the secret is capital for investment and targeted use-cases - who knew it!

My agenda is that you live under a modern dictatorship that censors the content you see on a screen. Get a better government!

You say it as if the author made it not available, rather than your own government. If anything, it proves the author's point.

Why is this comment flagged? It's not advocating violence just asking why some violence is actively opposed while others are ignored
