You start from “China bad” and the work backwards to fit your narrative. It’s almost pointless having discussion online on anything about China.

These are creative writing exercises on reddit. It’s gotten a million times worse since LLMs.

Boomers and Gen-X were the architects of the early digital era. Gen-X gets lumped in with Boomers because kids are dogshit at telling age. Older == Boomer to them. Boomers are the villain so we shall not give them credit for anything. That’s forbidden.

Millennials were too young to be able to make their mark on the early digital world. Millennials largely architected the social media era platforms by the time the generation came of age. This will never be in conversation because Millennials can do no wrong.

For some reason the benchmark is always the highest cost of living cities in America.

Maybe the ones obsessed with making it to the top in those cities are the most vocal online. I don’t know but it’s weird how that is.

They’re not reading but looking for keywords. People with low literacy do that.

The men’s team immediately turned a massive win into a massive embarrassment.

The end social media maybe. It’s fundamentally broken anyways. They can keep breaking it worse for all I care.

We’re not meant to be ruled by algorithms. It was a stupid idea to listen to antisocial neckbeards selling the world on how they could master sociology with graph theory. These are the same geniuses who deride soft sciences as not real science.

Tech bros deal in false equivalencies. In general they rely on the playbook of logical fallacies. The one they rely on most is the presumption that the technology they’re trying to sell is correct by default as if it’s a fundamental law of the universe. And that the onus is on others to prove them wrong. Rather than them having to prove its correctness.

They often resort to ad hominem by implying their detractors lack intelligence or they’re emotional. This again draws on more logical fallacy that because they deal in technology it means they presume to own the position of being purely objective and correct by default. So anyone who says otherwise is disputing science itself.

In other words they never have to prove the veracity of the technology they’re trying to sell because they divert the discourse off topic to frivolous arguments about something else.

You’ve demonstrated exactly how the system works. Statistically a few players will be lucky and become very rich. They’ll be looked at as “built different”. All the other poor players will try to emulate them as if they can beat the system by achieving some virtue like working hard enough or having innate skill rather than realize the system is mathematically impossible to beat.
