  • Most are indoctrinated in dualistic thinking and kept that way and taught it’s dumb to learn, so they don’t try to learn more and advance to higher thinking levels. Maybe they get to both sides have some points, but then fall back to whatever their tribe says. They could choose to think critically, use Sagan’s baloney detection kit to weigh proven evidence to make real convictions, not just repeat the brainwashing, and remain open to new data. That’s what all adult and responsible voter should do. It’s not that hard, but so many prefer the tribal identity they cling to and crave and won’t leave it. They could vote one way and say another, since it’s no one’s business to ask anyway, or have integrity and stand up for liberty and justice for all.













  • Using llms to summarize and learn information can be really useful, but check sources, just like you should for other online tools, and at the library too. The same best practices apply to this and education is important for proper tool use, like with anything, understand how to use it right. Lots of morons use tools wrong and cause problems and fatalities, doesn’t mean the tool should be banned. Learn how to use tools right is an old lesson.

    A majority of people have been convinced of many different things, many times, but that doesn’t make any of them true or good. Unchecked, open weight, charging to protect from itself and accelerationist ideas don’t sound good, and it should be used for good and peace, so don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater, another old one lol.






  • Let us not base policy choices on feels, be open to learning proven ways, and use Sagan’s baloney detection kit to understand what really helps people do better. People get indoctrinated and brainwashed into unhealthy ideas, tribalism, and use excuse that they don’t want to risk their benefits of belonging by questioning them or their feels. They can choose to leave unhealthy ways and meet better people. Maybe thinking is too hard and they don’t have time, due to artificial scarcity of these bad policies, or numb with mindless algorithms, so they do what their crowd does, what the media brainwashes them to fear. Critical thinking and doing the right things, actual courage is too hard.

    The US has regressed in healthcare and other quality of life, due to the swings back to maga, and people unaware how long it takes to rebuild the destruction they cause each time. Dems rarely have enough majority with the lopsided system, and too many voters don’t understand all this and choose to flip back due to feels, and the world is worse off for it… again.
