The simple fact of the matter is, the most intelligent people who should be participating in discussion on important existential matters like this, are not participating. They are not participating because they know and realize that what people see today in communications is not a discussion. They have realized that for the most part, the communication channel has been jammed past Shannon's limit, with false narratives that are not actually coming from real people. Objective reasoning and statements are drowned out by the flood of lies. Its an attack, one long predicted but ignored. What happens anytime communications are jammed and you don't realize it? It leads you to improper decisions which have a cost in blood instead of in resources. The bigger the impact, the longer the dynamics take, the more harm there is. Worse, the simulacra released to do these things behave as a toddler behaves, or rather quite worse as an evil malevolent person towards manipulation and total control neglecting reality. If you've ever had an argument with a toddler, you know inherently that they are just play-acting, with a tantrum held in reserve for when they are shown wrong. The same goes for the sock puppets, with malice held in reserve targeting blindspots towards torture and psychological harm for those people engaging in goodwill seeking a long-term future for their children. When the distance between what is said and what we know to be objectively true is an abyss, evil wins, and everyone becomes victim to the loudest monster in the room, a monster which eventually comes to destroy us all. Evil is not just some metaphorical construct but mainly describes the outcomes that result in destruction that are entirely preventable through choice and knowledge (truth). The people who are truly intelligent have realized that without communication there can be no response, no counteraction, it is a runaway machine, a train running along a track at full speed that ends going over a cliff into the ocean where those aboard die, and those aboard don't know it because they've all put blindfolds on in merriment. Willful induction to blindness is a very dangerous thing. Those that can are withdrawing and preparing for the inevitable consequence of these quite fundamental dynamics. We've passed a critical point of no return and no one noticed because their vision was obscured purposefully. They didn't realize the nature of the failures, which act as a wave with no forewarning aside from long discounted details that were ignored. A cascading failure based in hysteresis. The only people that will likely survive this are the ones that recognized and prepared, a paltry amount are doing this compared to the number of people globally living today. Instead of solving problems, and making careful choices, the aggregate of decisions from people over the past few generations were to blind themselves and others to the problems they created. To cherry-pick education, torture the rational, obscure reality, and live the good life with front-loaded benefits through money printing, thinking they'll be dead before the consequences can reach them, and sacrificing those of lesser intellect who were incapable of seeing through the lies. The bill always comes due. The slow knife penetrates without anyone noticing.
