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.

    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.

      social politeness has gone too far \s

      tbh I have daily interactions with real humans in the flesh that make me think more people should be concerned about their actions and words than they are, lol

      though the habituation of state and corporate surveillance is disturbing and should be combated fr

  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.
