Most of us are so used to being monitored and told what to do/say/think that we prefer it.

    I dunno if prefer is the right word. It’s more like, people don’t know that an alternative way of thinking exists, so they don’t even know if they dislike conformity. There definitely are people who naturally prefer conformity and will do so even if the option to be independent is available, but I don’t think that’s the majority.

      It’s the majority. The 99%. It’s Lemmy.

      I’ve actually internalized all of the correct thoughts so doing/saying/thinking the wrong thing is impossible for me. That you would insinuate the possibility of the alternative is frankly suspicious. I’m putting your name on my list.

      There are a few varieties I have in mind that I’d like to see served at a White House dinner.

    Who is the ruling class so afraid of they decided AI was going to be used for military purposes? Not the people happily doing as they are told. They don’t fear the compliant. They fear the ingenuity, resourcefulness, and cunning of those that have never been content with just being told what to do.
