We have fostered a culture where it's not safe to hold controversial opinions under your own name. I don't think the inflation issue is sensitive enough where I am so I can come out and say that current US inflation policy is dreadful and will come to roost, but I would never give an opinion that I think could be used against me on my main account anywhere anymore. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a paid shill. No, I will go further and say very few people are actually paid shills, and I don't like this boogeyman (though sadly shills of course also exist).

Indeed. Our superior intellect of the fifth order to ninth power above tribal humans of course obliges us annihilate them along with the stable human environment. It’s terrible what China is doing to ethnic groups. They should chase extinction of the species itself! As if that doesn’t have old school biblical vibes. People were promised hell on Earth! Play video games. Collect social points. Write code. Superior. Intellect echoes to fade out

  This feels like a GPT3 comment, or something you'd find scrawled on the side of a van in a walrmart parking lot. Please stop lowering the overall comment quality of HN.

    As a long time HNer who quit caring about the points long ago, the overall comment quality on HN tanked a while ago. As a mathematician, I’m often dismayed by the fantasy and fallacy the tech crowd buys into. Tech hype isn’t high quality content, since most software is math that was already figured out years ago. And finding yet another math object that abides the well known order of operations is a bit quaint at this point. None of this is bending laws of physics. Being accurately meta about reality is redundant and repetitive. Edit: pretty great when a FB employee complains about the state of online discourse, btw. When a paycheck depends on ones obliviousness and all that.
