I've been hearing how full of shit they are in their voices for a very long time. News analysts, anchors, politicians, poets, it's not just in one area of life, it's now permeated everywhere, this dissonance.

Watch Tesla Full Self-Driving v14.1.3 go 20kph over the speed limit in a school zone on the slowest mode.
Elon Musk if your software speeds in Sloth mode, how dangerous is it in Mad Max mode?
It should be banned immediately.
