          Not with that attitude, you just need to lower your standards on who is giving. Have you tried just making an announcement when you walk in like “I’ll give $50 for a hand job, right now, in the back”

      I don’t know how many times I’m gonna have to keep saying this, but Idiocracy was infinitely better than real life. President Camacho was both well-intentioned and (relatively) competent, and that is in stark contrast to the “president” we actually have.

        President Camacho was actually a great president. He didn’t seem to be abusing the office for any kind of personal gain. He was an inspiring public speaker. He listened to the voters, he tried to find the smartest person and appoint him so that he’d solve the problems facing the USA, he let the genius try out his solution even though it seemed absurd, and only ordered him to be executed when it only made the situation worse. Also, once the problems were solved, he left office without any complaints.

        I watched it again recently, and the thing that really stood out for me was Camacho’s speeches compared to Trump’s. I think if they re-made Idiocracy today, they’d have to make Camacho sound a lot more stupid in those speeches. Trump has lowered the bar so much.

        It’s funny that Idiocracy is too wholesome and positive to be applicable to our situation.

      Nah, in Idiocracy, being smart is seen as evil. You get beaten up for reading books.

      What we have is pseudointelligence. People who aren’t smart pretending like they are. That is why we have anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, climate change-deniers, alpha males, healing crystals, … All of them think they are smart and have hidden knowledge everyone else is lacking.

      Seeing what’s happening in Ukraine and in Iran and neighbouring gulf countries feels like early stage Terminator to me. Same goes for all the Sam Altman slop. The goal of AI is to replace us. Right now it might not do a very good job at most things we can do, but I don’t think it’s too far from replacing almost everything we do on the battlefield.
