In the past 6 years we made electric cars for everyone, released a cure for obesity, created driverless taxis, automated every menial white-collar task, and used CRISPR to cure genetic diseases. I don't understand how anyone is blackpilling
Noah Smith argues 2010s smartphone technology distorted public perception, obscuring the physical and scientific breakthroughs of the 2020s
Recent physical breakthroughs include CRISPR, weight-loss drugs, and autonomous robotaxis
Positive users welcomed mentions of affordable generative AI, solar rollout, and biotech advances for countering pessimism, while negative users mocked electric vehicles, driverless taxis, and similar claims as unrealistic or satirical.

@LexerLux Love the satire

@LexerLux @liminal_warmth Hear, hear.

@Real_Genios What do you mean?

@LexerLux "Driverless taxis." LMAO.

@LexerLux It's because we automated every menial white-collar task.

@LexerLux cure for obesity (as long as you never stop injecting yourself with peptides every single day)

@LexerLux Electric cars for everyone? Wtf are you talking about
And no one gives a shit abt automating the white collar tasks if white collar money is available to such a ever-slimming sliver of the population

@LexerLux immigration is the primary global issue and the source of your mystery

@LexerLux Don't forget the continued rollout of solar and the likely peak of CO2 emission being passed (or will very soon be passed)!

@LexerLux Unearthing the answer is the most important imperative of the contemporary era.

OP sez: "I don't understand how anyone is blackpilling".
Insert immigration issue.
LW: there's too many whites here we need more poc
RW: there's too many nons here we need more Whites
therefore, little attention is paid to any other developments as all circles back to the primary issue. to either side what is the point of all the technological advancement if their camp doesn't secure total genetic victory. Immigration is therefore the primary issue and the source of the mystery blackpilling, not mysterious at all. Data centers? While Haitians are being reported to Haiti? Really? I mean it's obvious

@_squf @LexerLux elab?

@LexerLux Many people are born with a propensity to look on the dark side of life:

@LexerLux @Real_Genios Who can afford all those things?

@amimevalepitito @LexerLux @Real_Genios And lots of people can't, which is why pretending there's no tension seems like satire.

@tjhbuff What's so funny about that?

@LexerLux You know 😉

@doneandone1 @LexerLux @Real_Genios Lots of people, many are highly affordable

@doneandone1 @LexerLux @Real_Genios your post implied almost no one can afford these things, generative AI for example is essentially free

@LexerLux People feel like they are being reduced to passengers in cars they used to drive.
