Not evil, just ignorant.

I’m an engineer, I work with engineers. As a profession, we tend to lack EQ and real understanding of social issues.

A lot of the bad decisions that have had an outsized impact on society were naive decisions made by tech companies out of that ignorance.



Yea, we need to train them that their opinions are wrong regarding whatever arbitrary thing the various elite classes think today. That their wrong think only gets in the way of the things we want.


Uninformed opinion is like an animal instinct — it means nothing.

If your knowledge of philosophy mostly comes from Stocism memes, you don’t know much. The existence of widespread belief in reptilian overlords and other stupid shit is evidence of people hungry for understanding, but who lack the knowledge to overcome their ignorance.


> whatever arbitrary thing the various elite classes think today

No one here has said this. Stop hallucinating.
