  • I mean liberals are a whole other thing but even if you would say this about leftists instead, my point didn’t imply that the exact opposite is true: obviously being a leftist doesn’t automatically make you a genius media analyst. I’m just saying the conservative mindset is extremely adverse to any level of abstraction, which renders them incapable of a lot of things, understanding analogies being one of them.

    also why they can never understand big picture issues (I’m holding a snowball so global warming can’t be real), prioritize statistics over anecdotes (I got sick after a shot so vaccines don’t work at all), or empathize with people they don’t know (eg oppose gay rights, only to support when a family member comes out–if at all).

    now that doesn’t mean someone who believes in worker rights automatically is better at all of this, but at least it isn’t physically impossible for them to be so.



  • the problem is conservatives are incapable of abstract thought, so they have no media literacy and can never think about what the stories mean. even when they’re quite explicit.

    that’s why a moron like elon looks at them and thinks “cool, Torment Nexus, it even has the cool X in the name! I should have someone make that. and the world will finally love me.”

    doesn’t matter, this is “AI” and it should know the difference from context. not to mention you can have gemini as an assistant, which is supposed to respond to natural language input. and it does this.

    best thing about it is that it doesn’t remember previous questions most of the time so after listening to your “assistant” being patronizing about the term “in heat” not applying to humans you can try to explain saying “dude I meant the movie heat”, it will go “oh you mean the 1995 movie? of course… what do you want to know about it?”
