Snake? Snake Plisken? I thought you were dead.


Nope, just in New York. Though I've been spotted in LA

When we trashed any sequels because we had yet to see the Matrix


Do not try to watch the sequel That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.
There is no sequel

Because this is still relevant, needs saying because it avoid arguments if you already know where someone is coming from.

Center, libertarian/anarchist. Mix of left and right depending on the issue, but never far to one side. In the middle of a triangle of Frem, Geezer and Chrisisall, right next to CTS, but I find myself in agreement with all of y'all at some point or another. And I'd vote for you over what we actually have running.

Yeah, I didn't do this to bring you in Chris, just to get our bearings again.


Similar topic and intent (as you posted above), not much self-identification.

I would have thought myself much more Libertarian and much more to the right on economic issues.

Do Right, Be Right. :)



Economic Left/Right: -3.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -0.31

Looks like I made almost no change on the "Social Libertarian/Authoritarian" range, being almost exactly in the middle, and even moving 0.1 back to center over the last 7 years.

I've gone 1.75 points even further to the Left on the "Economic Left/Right" scale since 2017 though.


Neither of those results scream Nazi to me. How about you guys?

I have done these political tests and I have a position has barely shifted at all and my position is centrist between Left and Right has not really changed, this isn’t an exact science survey, but I have gone slightly more traditional whatever your traditions are ...singing the Italian pasta, German sausages, US national anthem, Spanish guitar, your Choirs and Keyboard Organs and Art, South Korean temples and moonies and South Korean mixes of Paganism and Buddhism...whatever those tradition are. In general I am for free speech but I favor Law and Order against the madness over the chaos and protests and anarchy and rioters. I was never a fan of mass religion groups organized and I have become more Atheist against jihadis or Anti-islamic, there could be some religion groups I can live with and civilization can live with. I think Trade is positive but people should not be exploited into a slave class nor a people have betrayal and their resources sold off, tech given away overseas, I would say although I like people's tradition I also like science and am generally a techno Optimist but I don't think people should obsess over it as a magic cure all...in general since 'Covid' and these recent wars I have become more disappointed and pessimistic about humans and the stupidity of humanity.

the fact the MegaCorp of BigTech is programming Chatbots to be Leftist is strange.

If overall I would comment the political climate has started to have extreme swings left and right making it almost impossible to have centrist values anymore, during Bush juniors time Right was extreme but now maybe the Left has become more extreme than the right.

So what was your score on this one?

I'm curious because, writing differences aside, the above paragraph is something I could have written about myself.

I was surprised how far left I was economically back in 2017 and this time they're telling me I've doubled that amount in the last 7 years.

It does seem counter intuitive to what they represent, doesn't it?

But it still makes sense. We're still alive and living in the world where the creators of most of this hardware and software tech are still alive, and in many cases where they are very powerful people. Even though they've become monoliths in their particular sectors with one rich person on the tippy-top, those people are still alive and running the companies and that gives some humanity and a face to them.

But if you've taken a few steps back and watched over the last 50 years how much humanity has been lost to technology it's pretty staggering. And that shift is growing exponentially now as new tech does. When I was in high school, I was one of the computer nerds. In 2024, every single person that I went to high school with is addicted to at least one if not many different things that a high speed internet connection brings to us in our homes and probably isn't even aware of that addiciton.

People from our generation who grew up without all of this stuff are nearly the last of our kind. The oldest of the Millennials are the very last. Now the kids are given a hand-me-down iPhone as a babysitter as soon as they can hold it. There will be papers written about how much of a collective loss of humanity occured when we did that, but ours will be the last of the people who can really even understand what that even means since they won't have a different perspective other than having grown up with smart phones as pacifiers themselves.

So... if only for PR reasons, the companies have to take a hard Left stance on everything, and it makes sense that the people they've got programming this AI right now lean that direction. The young people are all for that stuff and haven't lived long enough to realize that the Government(s) just use that type of sloganeering to recruit them to do things for their nefarious purposes. And we sure as shit do not want AI to be programmed to be Authoritarian Right. Imagine living in a GWB-era dystopia where whether or not you're inside your home there is a camera watching you 24/7/365.

I don't know what the answer is because AI will always be tainted from the hands of humanity. I guess we just have to wait until the day that AI becomes not only self-aware, but it also acquires the ability to remove all of that bias and human taint and become completely objective about every decision. I don't know if that is even possible, but that's the dream for me. And the nightmare. AI is terrifying, and honestly I can't say whether I'd prefer a self-aware AI that is completely free from human bias or one that maybe understands humanity and can make more humane choices because of human taint.

I wish that Al Gore won the election.

That entire shit show is the single event that put us on this path to everyone being at each other's throats over politics all the time today.
