During the G.W.Bush presidency, I wrote this comedic novel about a not-so-smart protagonist who gets his hands on a time machine… and tries to win “The War on Terror” by making sure it never even began.

Someday, there will be movies and stories made about this moment in time. Some will be unflinching, others will try to create a mythology, and some will outright lie about the past.
Consider how previous cultural tensions and traumas were processed in fictions - such as this:

LLMs were mislabeled “Artificial Intelligence,” just like early computers were mislabeled “electronic brains” and “thinking machines.”
Computers don't think. They compute.
(Bio-computers, using brain cells as components, have the potential to grow conscious, but that problem is not being debated.)

I recently read a Substack post where the *COUGH* author directly and repeatedly quoted ChatGPT and said so in the text — as if he thought that would impress, as if he thought that would lend authority to his argument.
I honestly felt sorry for him. Then I muted him.

I couldn't understand what people saw in Trump.
I saw only emptiness. A man without a core, trying to cover up the void inside - with lies, bragging, bullying, and gold. Underneath that: nothing.
Now I think that void was his strength: People could project their wishes and fantasies onto it.

The most important words spoken during the American Revolution. Benjamin Franklin’s warning echoes all the way from the 18th century to today.
“A Republic… if you can keep it.”
To keep something that someone else is trying to take away from you is not a passive task.
