fizzle

It seemed more sudden and severe than just “oh some people didn’t not like him and then things changed”.

I didn’t know much about him really but he seemed to be investing in tech that could really shape the future, which I thought was “progressive”. Like when the first Tesla hit the market “big oil” had been suppressing the EV industry forever and putting your money behind something like that was bold and progressive.

Now he’s a Nazi supporting conservative nutty governments all over the world.

The US is an exception

That’s not really “eugenics” as I understand the term but whatever.

Thats not really true.

The US is an exception but generally, the cost of therapies becomes commercially viable with the passage of time.

For example, our 2 year old daughter just had her DNA profiled because she has a few manageable, yet ongoing developmental deficiencies. Her DNA markers will guide her treatment.

When I was a child this type of treatment was sci-fi, and when it was invented you could have said “by rich for rich” or whatever.

WDYM “for eugenics purposes”?

My partner has normalised spatial awareness, and no situational awareness. I do my best to herd her around for the good of mankind but I can only do so much

Not really.

Plenty of other countries adopting Trump’s populist policies.

You could say that about everything that Trump does.

He has normalised the making of unilateral decisions. He has normalised vindictive policies. He has normalised armed forces in cities.

Its not that deep.

He’s just saying he can take things he wants if no one will stop him, and he’s trying to rationalise that.

Sure but youre probably aware that the vast majority of users dont, and for those users its a usability issue.

It’s this.

Lawyers: put the warnings on everything. Managers: what warnings? Lawyers: the warnings. Managers: yeah but Lawyers: on everything.
