Well they do have the plan to make some AI that knows everything and makes decisions for humanity and builds new inventions at record pace.
They love their transhumanism. I'm so happy I'm 51 and I expect to be very old when shit really hits the fan. Still think the 1990s was peak humanity.
I think of the 90's as us trying to continue the optimism and work that was put in during the 60's to create a more egalitarian society, while having some of the wild of the 70's and trying to recover from Reaganism of the 80's. And not having the daily threat of nuclear annihilation. While allowing the rise of unbridled corporatism.
While Clinton did a lot of work to balance the budget and had the debt paid off, he also passed the telecommunications act of 93 that allowed consolidation of media. Namely I heart radio.
Before him cable providers were required to allow public access, and only 1 owner of a single am/fm (pick one.) station with 1 television station in a market.
Now you have Sinclair as a direct result.
Yeah, no. I have seen some peak that I will never see again. Just...all of it forgotten forever.
