tldr: Michael should’ve gaslit Eleanor into believing she was wrong rather than admit she found the correct answer

The real flaw in Michael’s plan isn’t that Eleanor (or Jason, in that one instance) figures out the truth, it is that he fails to convince Eleanor that her thinking is wrong and make her believe that the original setup is actually the good place. That would have been the ultimate trick.

Eleanor only thinks she is in the Bad Place because she has never experienced the traditional Bad or Good Place. She thinks that emotional torture is a foundational element of the bad place, which it is — but she does not know this for a fact, she is making an assumption, a hypothesis.

Zizek once said that ideology never truly disappears; it simply goes into hiding, only to resurface later. It seems to me that business faces a similar issue—unresolved issues from the past inevitably find their way back

Have you ever noticed how someone could become completely wrapped up in politics or something else? A slow and methodical change until they won’t stop bringing it up? Things subtly taking over someones life has always happened, although I will admit, not to such a novel degree. 3/3

Nowadays, because of LLMs, more than anger and anxiety can be manipulated — but only because LLMs can allow for more nuianced and direct conversations that make you feel a certain way (even horny) so long as they keep making you use the app and paying them money. 2/3

Her reliance on the tool that speaks back to her (LLM) is a tool based on giving her information, thats what manipuates her emotions. Prior to LLMs, anger and anxiety were easy to control, look at how the news (controlled by billionaires) shaped the narrative of the war on terror 1/3

While some high school and middle school students would do their summer readings, I think it would be a fair assumption that some would not. If people don’t want to engage with books critically, it is very hard for someone to force them to think critically, unless you beat them with a stick

Okay, so AI is altering behaviour in a specific way, and that AI is controlled by the oligarchs, leading to our perception of reality changing, is that correct?
How is AI altering our behaviour, such that propaganda or misinformation was not altering our behavior beforehand?

I really enjoyed the concept of “Her” especially, the idea that AI, to an extent, can teach us how to love each other. However, I absolutely agree with you, that lying to her husband about her finances is mind boggling, especially because Leo isn’t real!
