I feel like it's a social psyop... To help forward all this crazy shit happening. It's clear Ai is an "arms race".

It seems like the psyop is to make life shitty and then promote some magical fix (Ai) that's going to save us, while it further leashes us to submission and rewrites history and current narration of what humanity is.

No it's not.

It's just the mental version of obesity crisis. It's people choosing the easy and unhealthy option because it's cheaper and readily available, than the far more difficult and more costly option of eating well and exercise.

I mean I can't disagree with that, but couldn't that BE the psyop...? Make people dumb as fuck so you can own them...

People choose to be dumb. Just like they choose to be lazy.

no psyop is required. biology doesn't like making an effort if it doesn't have to do so. you can see lots of non-human examples of this as well.

getting human beings outside of their default biological impulses to be lazy and not think... takes years of training and work. hence why so few people are able to achieve it. and you can always default back to it if you don't maintain the effort consistently
