Elon Musk is the DoD’s biggest contractor. Hurray, the Pentagon’s top contractor is now in charge of Twitter! Or as Tim Dillon put it, the people cheering hate the idea of “a chip,” but they apparently LOVE neuralink.
This is a good teaching moment for people who consider themselves smart: are you really falling for this kind of theatre, still, in 2022???
C’mon man.
That being said, the ability to force major changes still lies with the people, it just depends on their being a qualitative shift in the discourse, where we just altogether scrap these false left-right binaries and realize that our common enemy, the enemy of the people is not some foreign nation, it’s not any nation, it’s a financial alone mold which has captured government institutions. But the truth is they still belong to the people, and it’s up to people to see past the theatre and facades and actually take them back by raising the level of discourse, which means more people tuning out of the mainstream narrative matrix and tuning into real independent outlets, sharing them, contributing to them, raising the level of dialogue among friends and colleagues, and watching the whole Tower of Babel fall, and actually visualizing what a world without this Tower of Babel would look like.
After all, not being able to imagine what that might look like is arguably one of the main reasons people remain stuck and slaves to the very system they claim they hate.
This is one of the great tragedies of the Boomers.
And Tesla was built on EV subsidies from governments around the world. The idea that Musk can avoid his duty in the manufacturing of consent simply means he doesn't understand it yet.
Again, more fake news. Tesla was successfully when gas was cheap and before the subsidies existed. Subsidies were a result of lobbying by GM, not Tesla. You need to go back and look at the timelines because you’ve got it wrong.
"Reality" is just beliefs (or stories) that a vast majority of people have agreed are true and act in accordance with. Belief is a powerful thing, and the people who have lots of power and money know it.
Thought experiment: if one assumes everything is just a story or narrative, that story itself assumes there's no truth. Does someone whose identity is grounded in a story that assumes there is no truth really likely to look for said ''truth''?
There's a paradox there. It's like someone saying there is no sky or anything above us, so they never bother to look... because there's nothing above us! Why would you look up if you've adopted the narrative that there's nothing to look up at?
That being said, I wouldn't discount the suggestion that we all live by stories. Definitely. However, I think part of the real story comes down to how people actually react when they discover new elements of the story, new plot lines which weren't part of the ''original'' the person planned in their head.
The more interesting stories are the ones where people become brave enough to go off script, to welcome to unplanned plot twists, and actually see where it takes them.
"Reality" changes all of the time. The world was once flat and the earth was the center of the universe. Some stories endure longer than others. Scientists cannot even objectively say where "reality" comes from since we affect any experiment we conduct. There is no difference, really, between subject and object. I am totally okay with questioning everything. I have zero problems with paradox.
Claiming spacex getting contracts for satellites is “dod” and “pentagon” is very misleading as you are implying he’s somehow launching rockets to bomb people. I know several people who got usable internet at their remote homes because of his spacex launched starlink satellites. And before spacex, we were just giving our money and jobs to Russia to launch stuff. At least that’s come back home to US.

Also...if a family member were a paraplegic you’d probably have a different take on Neuralink.

The DOD’s largest contractor by a wide margin is Lockheed Martin. Next is Boeing. Next is General Dynamics, then Raytheon.
Again, more fake news in this comment section. Very sad. This is why Twitter is basically eye AIDS. Kind of crazy to see it here.
