I said my goodbyes.

I genuinely believed that AI this capable would be available in 2010 from 1990,
as sci-fi movies were showing flying cars, skyscraper cities and space travel.
Things slowed down a lot in the 2000s and got weird.

Socialist democracies look like capitalist democracies that fear socialist revolutions.
Even the US was one from 1930 until around 1980.

The US has to go through the process of fascism only to be conquered or overthrown by socialists, something that didn’t happen during the Interbellum or world war II.
Last time they went social democratic to preserve capitalism as US socialists were already drawing their pitchforks.
This time around however, the capitalists want to hold onto power even as their capitalist society is on the brink of collapsing. This time, like last time in Nazi Germany, the US merchants refuse to take any concessions during a crisis, so fascism it has already chosen.
This means the US is already going through a painful transition as fascism is known to be a unstable and (self-)destructive form of governance.

But what is fascism? I have my own take on it and on socialism by the way…

Here you see a table I made that lists all the standard socio-economic forms of governance.
All standard have three sets of people called estates.
The First estate sets the rules, second estate sets the direction of society and the third estate keeps the gears of society running.
This differs I think from the usual socialist picture (correct if I’m wrong) where Marx had in mind that all estates would become one.
It also differs I think from what capitalists think of themselves, because merchants are not mentioned anywhere in the constitution, are not in the government or anywhere in the trias politica and yet they get first row seats in inaugerations and VIP invitations during delegations.

To me, fascism is capitalism, but with a ruling class so powerful that the legitimizer (if that’s a word, I make up words) class has become insignificant and with the first estate gone, the ruling class reigns with impunity.

It will collapse and when it does, we will enter a world with a majority of socialist states very soon.
If not, the world will go straight to communism.

They could argue that those are just “Anglo style bread lines”,
where the conservatives are starving its citizens by default
instead of their government demanding farm produce
from large farm owners being handed over to them to feed the poor
and the large farm owners refusing to do so and create a standoff,
while keeping all the food to themselves.

The US is, not Iran.

No, there would be less conflict in the world if we were to cure people from psychopathy, sociopathy, narcissism, racism and other ails that lead to destructive selfishness.

What makes you think that they are not smarter than humans?
We haven’t been able to even communicate with Orca’s, so we can’t tell if they’d perform better on a math quiz.
We do know that they have more neurons in their cerebrum than humans, which would potentially make them smarter.
We know they have language, we know that they can pass on knowledge, we know that they communicate to each other to discuss hunting strategies, we know that they give names to each other, we know that some Orca’s have learned to communicate with other dolphin species, we know that they understand the concept of literally pointing out things, so they’re at least smarter than chimps.

I’d say there’s around 50% that either multiple large dolphin species, or more likely, just one dolphin species, being truly smarter than us and that’s the Orca. Orca’s are the only known species known to have more cerebrum neurons than human beings. They just don’t have any fingers, let alone opposable thumbs, and live in the ocean.
There is a possibility however that Orca’s are still less smart than the average human for they could be using much of their brains to manage sleep as they can’t fall asleep like humans do or they’d drown.

If we were be able to communicate with them, I would imagine them arguing for humans to turn their society into a more permanent matriarchy instead of the current human feminist ideal, through genetic engineering, specifically making human females a little bit taller, while arguing that the human males are fine in length, but should prefer giant women like a Greg Universe. And for the average desired human female length, seven or eight meters tall should be enough.

Also, chimps are smarter than humans in one key area, which is short-term-memory.
They can easily beat you in a game of memory without fail.

What if they don’t have hands and live in the ocean?

If HiddenLayer is not saying that, then I will.
Bottlenoses, I’ve read somewhere, are as smart as 7-year olds.
Orcas are either the only one or one of the few species of dolphin with a larger amount of cerebrum neurons than us, so they should be smarter.

I’m not sure if that counts for the males though, because females are bigger and it’s a matriarchal society.

How is that a warning and not a promise?

Can a French presidential candidate warn: “If i become president we leave Al-Qaeda”?

bbc is not superior oligarch owned news agency,

it is superior public owned news agency

Not to mention that there is no inferior oligarchs owned news agency in Usonia,
only superior billionaire owned news agency

See? All Anglo agencies are superior that way.

Millenial.

I know recognize the 2000s being the decade of trade-offs.

2000s were awful in my view.
Slow technological progress compared to the fast-paced changes during the 1990s.
I was constantly frustrated by subpar technologies that took one leap upwards and five steps back.
CD-Rs that could not be rewritten,
LCD screens that you could not view from the side and had these washed-out colors,
and people actually complained when those colors improved in the 2010s with LED
because “we don’t like those candy colors”
Slow internet that kept being slow as webpages got larger faster.
The whole decade should have been condensed to a year.

The only good thing about it was that computer parts were cheap.
And anime.

The 2010s picked up the pace and the 2020s are just crazy,
maybe even faster paced than the 1990s.

[edit]

I see people disagreeing, so I’ll double down on why the 2000s were awful.

The 2000s had Ugly 3D replacing beautiful 2D.
The 2000s had ppl tlkng l1k3 d1s.
The 2000s had Fred being #1 on youtube.

During the 2000s gross-out movies were popular.
The 2000s had the movie Idiocracy which was not a prediction, but a reflection of its time.
Because it was a painfully stupid time.
Same goes for Wall-E, who envisioned a far-future where everyone is painfully fat,
because they couldn’t imagine anti-obesity drugs being invented,
despite the precursor of semaglutide having already been invented at that time.

It’s also a time where ‘gamer’ stopped meaning having fun playing various types of games
at the arcades or Commodore 64, and instead started to exclusively mean
having the fastest rig possible in order to play a foot soldier in war games,
especially FPS shooters like Counterstrike, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, etc…
and to a lesser extend strategy war games like starcraft and MMORPGs like WoW.

[edit #2]

Perhaps advancement wasn’t necessarily slow, but every advancement was a trade-off in the 2000s.

Beautiful 2D -> Ugly 3D
Bulky CRTs -> Bad-angle badly colored flatscreens
Curated TV -> Poor-quality internet videos
low-storage sturdy floppy disks -> Read-only fragile CDs
A whole new world of communication -> A whole decade wh3r3 ppl tlkd l1k3 d1s

The only exception, again, was anime.

What are the odds?

There would always be loyal followers, plus oligarchs with lots of drones who all want to maintain power.

Sounds like a good start.
