Theory: I have this theory of probabilistic influence where i think it might be possible to turn up the temperature on a person algorithmically.
In the old days intelligence agencies had to have direct contact with a would be shooter if they were going to groom someone for an assassination, today I believe it’s possible via algorithms, targeting, online groups etc… to do all of that remotely with no direct engagement.
The new thing isn’t digital grooming. That’s been happening.
It’s more like an algorithmic volume knob where you can increase the probability that something happens to someone.
We already know that modern algorithmic environments can increase baseline risk factors in a population the speculative leap I’m making is something like… you can take someone from >1% risk of assassination to 20% risk of assassination and your hands are never anywhere near the murder weapon so to speak.
I have no proof this theory is real. I have no proof that power has shifted from direct coercion to probability shaping, this is just something I think might be happening.
A traditional generational conflict usually looks like this, the older generation says “we had it hard too” the younger generation says “you don’t understand our world”. That’s normal, it happens every generation.
That’s not what’s going on with boomers and millennials.
The friction between boomers and millennials is different than the average inter-generational conflict.
Because boomers betrayed millennials.
I have a friend who found bitcoin in 2011 because he typed “how to get rich quick” into google and it came up as a result lol
He’s now worth 50 million dollars
Only in bitcoin 😂
Reminder: you probably have a person in your life who is carrying a long term resentment towards you and will betray you at your lowest.
Do your best to figure out who that is now.
Communism is a meme ideology that can never work because of human nature.
Anarcho-capitalism is a meme ideology that’s like 6 or 7 technological breakthroughs away from becoming reality.
