By that I mean that all you see in the media is but a spectacle.
Did Wikileaks achieve anything else but raising the degree of angst and learned helplessness in mere mortals of this world? Maybe there occurred a revolution somewhere against the entities whose corpus delicti was leaked? Any supreme moron convicted? Anything positively changed in the global state of affairs?
Nope, all it did is communicate the message about how both utterly corrupted and invulnerable those entities are, and everyone trying to expose their crimes is doomed, like the character of Assange.
In simple words: Wikileaks == controlled opposition.
Hillary and the DNC also worked to undermine Sanders, though he had far, far better polling vs Trump than Hillary did.
At that time, Hillary was the second most disliked politician in the country. Only Trump was lower. Bernie was the most liked. By a lot.
So again - the second-most hated politician in America worked with the DNC to attack the most popular politician, while making sure that Trump got as much attention as possible...
...And you blame Wikileaks for Trump winning. You really see no problem with this?
I said it had a hand in it, I didn't say it was the only cause, or even the biggest or most relevant one. Assange backed the wrong horse, here, but I wouldn't credit him for carrying it on his back, all by himself, all the way down the racetrack. That's too big a job for any one man.
I also can't say much about her campaign was done well, for that and other reasons. But oh, boy, did we not need hindsight to foresee what a disaster the Trump presidency was going to be. He delivered exactly what he promised.
This is a serious criticism... even if it's not likely to catch on enough to have a real effect on the sea level, it is a complete waste of energy to accomplish something that could be done much more efficiently some other way, if it is indeed worth doing at all.
Two things are not providing for a bright future of IT:
- developers willing to use AI crutches instead of their own brains to write their code;
- developers unwilling to pay other developers while being paid themselves by companies whose profit models are often far removed from the honest craft of developing something wholesome.
This is the final chapter of the blockchain story, created from the scratch by the bankers, who lured early adopters with ideals of anonymity, digital anarchy and other cryptopunk ravings, made them run the prototype of bankers' future monetary system at their own and later investors' expense, provided for schemes to make rich richer and poor poorer, made huge profits for the energy-generating companies, and what the economist really says now is a gloating 'thank you, nerds and wannabe-billionaires, you can now go to hell and don't mess in the way of us the big guys'
Expect a world-wide blockchain-based banker-controlled centralized biometrically authenticated One World Currency soon, which you can loose access to for walking a red light, wearing a pajama in public, not joining the next scheduled Je Suis Charlie charade or refusing to jab.
So let's totally remove the heat-transfer agent from the thermodynamic machine of society and instead rely on an army of maxwell demons to decide how much food and floor space each human element in the system should be given for its work, right?
That was called 'communism', had been attempted to implement, resulted in millions of deaths and miserably failed regardless due to the physics of the process.
The heat transfer agent is not the problem per se, it's the ability of some entities to create it out of thin air and pump into the system, as well as shady mechanisms of its distribution.
My sincere fuck you goes to all the miserable transhumanists who give up all their human essence, including creativity, to their corporate-controlled AI overlords.
