I have no suggestions but I believe in your ability to do this

can't wait to get my electric monk that believes things for me

Frankly people should know better

Looking at StrategyWiki, I think I must have just inferred it from Kreia's last line before she zaps them (which is the same in CRM): "Let me show you - you, who have forever seen the galaxy through the Force. See it through the eyes of the exile."

Thanks for an amazing series!

I thought this came from the final convo with Kreia, but apparently I conjured it: I have always understood that Kreia doesn't actually (directly) kill the Masters but rather severs them from the Force as she & the Exile were & they die due to being so dependent on it.

are there any "by the process of translatio imperii, the Roman Empire was overthrown and the Republic reestablished in 1917" guys

Ultimately, if they really believe this, it is because the tech elite have bought into the MMT-esque idea that, for the American state, money really is infinite. Fortunately for us, money is an expression of command over labor, and there is in fact a finite amount of labor in the world.

Some of these services are private, despite only continuing to operate via state subsidy. "AI" could theoretically become this, but that's a different thing than a bailout, and even then it seems unlikely the American state currently has the ability to marshal the kind of resources "AI" needs!

There are services that, when accounted as an individual enterprise, permanently run at a loss because states decide that they are beneficial to the maintenance of social order broadly (obviously varying social orders are benefited by varying services).
