sorry lads for my absence.
on the subject of social media ?
the naive leftie thought that this would bring us all together to solve the worlds problems.
but it has merely put everyone into an echo chamber
the mainstream media are no better.
CNN and MSNBC are driven by advertising and ratings . and they measure the ratings every 30 minutes.
with a leftie audience, they MUST pander to the lefties to keep the shareholders happy.
Fox news is the same
social media gives you a personalised news feed based on what you LIKE to read. (and funded by eyeballs and advertising).
so the left and the right are now in 2 seperate camps and there is zero ability for them to talk to each other.
and with no ability to talk, all that is left is to fight.
so , thats my take on the current situation.
study of oz politics is quite revealing.
the leftie posters and the rightie posters just become more extreme, the more they interact with each other.
thats the polarisation of society and i think its a phenomenom worth studying because it will greatly affect what follows.
i find trump to be a fascinating phenomenom.
if you cant learn about people by studying trump, if you cant gather intel, you are missing the point of trump.
trump is testing new paradigms all the time.
he is revealing so much about what people are really like.
he has certainly revealed that most people are pretty much stuck in a durr state and have zero ability to think with nuance.
i think he is like a nuclear bomb of evolutionary pressure.
those on the right see him as a cult leader
those on the left see him as a bumbling retard.
he is neither.
he is just a guy who understands peoples deep inner workings on a level that few before have understood them.
he understands that if you put people in a beautiful warm spa and fed them grapes and all they had to do was to lie there in bliss, they would blow the spa up in 48 hours just so something interesting would happen.
trump is an entertainer and people just want to be entertained
they dont want to think, they care nought for the truth, they just want to be stimulated
