Wait, I used the wrong word. I meant to say "depressing" instead of "fascinating".

I find it fascinating that typically whenever problems occur, people think they can pinpoint the cause. America: the country that sees every complex problem and has an answer that is both simple and wrong.

Everything is more scary in German. This is a well established fact. It's just not that scary in French or Spanish.

I stopped reading after the word “anything”. If you ask the question: “I wonder if the United States can learn anything”. Based on the evidence of the last 20 years the answer is no.

Trump 2 makes American voters look really, really, really bad. In Trump 1 you could argue you didn’t know what you were getting. Not so for Trump 2. My theory is that a sizeable proportion of Americans have the memory of a goldfish.

Theory 4: the Administration believes that Democrat voters are lazy and live off food stamps. Therefore this will force the democrats to do a deal.
Note: this is entirely incorrect on several levels, but it matches the ideological convictions of the Administration.

So I don’t really like sports. I don’t watch them. But that is no reason to dunk on someone else for liking them. I also don’t like cats but I’m not out there calling everyone who likes cats silly. People can like different things.

Fine; there is some nuance. There would be some issues where not all major US parties are to the right of Australia, but they are very few.

The self-checkout is an abomination. It starts with the assumption that you’re a thief and that any possible deviation needs intervention from a staff member.

Yes! All of the US mainstream parties are to the right of all the Australian political parties. In the US there is bipartisan support for screwing individuals in favour of businesses. The US is a political island.

I think they read the dystopian future SciFi and don't realise it's a warning. They're treating it as a target.
These people are not that smart. I'm curious to know whether one of the problems is that they're surrounded by sycophants. LLMs also do this, they always say you're amazing.

I actually think they believe that they will. Mostly because they don't have anyone who does tell them no. The behaviour is just untethered to reality. Why would they not believe that technology can be magic? To be fair, dark magic, but still magic.

This might make sense if AI actually worked. I mean, it's a bleak future, but it's a reasonable approach. The problem is that the current AI tools are never going to reach AGI. So it's not just dystopian, it's dumb.

I love Tom's consistency. Happy to say unpopular things, engage with people and not take himself too seriously. I might not always agree with Tom (eg dogs > cats), but I respect him enourmously.
