Romantic AI psychosis is some of the most sad-cringe shit ever.
-
what I dislike about AI is how it's used to affirm and deepen people's delusions. AI psychosis is an actual thing now. If you have cooky political theories you have the opportunity of a life time to just make yourself go completely insane.

Do you have anyone you can speak to?

If your straight your straight. It's not that deep.

Most incels/femcels are just parroting "criticisms" to justify their cope to themselves. They are so ideological in their thinking that anything they are saying isn't worth taking too seriously. It's noise.
-
It's just horseshoe theory lol. We just call them femcels. Same pig, different lipstick. The loser victim mindset is the core. The main difference is that femcels are more socially accepted.

Years of preference is not a choice down the drain all of a sudden lmao

Every society is a nepo society. America just has a culture glorifying self-directed success for better and for worse. And the US isn't even that bad globally I think. Try getting a high paying gov job in a Balkan country without being someone's nephew. But connections is only one of the three qualities you need to succeed in a field, generally speaking. Nepo babies might get leading roles in a big movie, but without confidence and competence they won't stay in the limelight for very long. High talent positions require you also be good at your field.

That would be an example of where simply regulating industry would make the most sense long-term. It's a lack of good regulation that got you in that mess in the first place arguably. -
Of course. The asymmetry is a feature. The pressure of selecting for quantity versus the pressure of selecting for quality is how we evolved because it works for getting good genes. Also the fact that human pregnancy and birth is as costly and risky as it is is a huge factor. For most animals, pregnancy isn't nearly as debilitating. If reproduction was cheaper, safer and humans developed faster, then our view on the value of human life would probably be different.

Does there exist anyone you think would qualify, even historically?

I think it's mostly algorithmic. It's easy slop for the piggies. No one really thinks about this kind of shit outside of the internet. -

If it's done at a lose, then its basically just glorified humanitarian aid. The issue with that is that it undercuts local business and survival while the quality of product and service suffers. Communities need to be able to functionally survive on their own. -

It would likely undercut the business of private vendors first of all, and I'm not sure how sustainable it is if it's not profitable. And private business tend to be better at serving demand. And when they fail it doesn't come directly out of the collective's pockets. It's a big reason why communism tend to lead to starvation. Many hands lift more. What does work is regulating unfair practices like collusion and price gouging or subsidies. we'll see, I guess. But I'm not confident it would really work. I'm worried it would turn into a money sink for little gain.
