If there is one thing the AI revolution has taught me, it’s that 99% of people cannot extrapolate. At all. Quite literally people cannot imagine or visualize progress or changes beyond the current state. Complete inability to predict the future.View quoted post on X
A man hears that gold has been discovered 2,000 miles away
In 1849 he sells his possessions, buys a mule, and begins traveling west
In 2026 he gets on Twitter and explains that all the profitable claims will be acquired by foreign interests, that the government has made independent mining impossible, and that the entire undertaking is a scam
He may well be correct about some of this
Unfortunately he is still sitting in his bedroom

I think blackpilling is basically a recreational drug
You can spend several hours reading about how unfavorable the world is to people of your age, sex, income, appearance, etc
By the time you’re finished you have a comprehensive explanation for why nothing in your life has worked out
Very soothing experience because none of the explanation requires you to have done anything differently
