  Wait till LLM start gaslighting you about reality when all it sees is a hyperreality of text derived from the collective gaslighting of humans.

  Add the paranoia of alcoholism into mix for a truly mind blowing experience especially when the whole family has these issues.

  The "Firehose of Falsehood": This is a propaganda framework characterized by broadcasting a high volume of arguments—combining true data points, distorted context, and blatant lies—rapidly and repetitively. The goal is not to convince the listener of a specific narrative, but to completely overwhelm and confuse them so they give up trying to find the truth.

  The Agricultural revolution granted too much power to the wrong people, be they politicians, bureaucrats, priests, intellectuals, parents etc.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGe1BdmwSdo&amp;t=637">10:37</a> I&apos;d have said &quot;where only one interpretation of reality is considered to be possible&quot;. &nbsp;In that situation, there seems no reason to verify if what appears to be true is in fact true.<br>USA has a scornful term for fact-checking, which is denigrated as &quot;second-guessing&quot; , which implies that truth and reality are determined by every initial gut-feeling.

  Objectivity is perhaps not a static state. Our perception of such is always relative, the convincing of a group tends to be much more difficult than &nbsp;a group can affect the individual. <br><br>Though group think has blind spots, perhaps individual perception too is imperfect. <br><br>It is increasingly difficult to find the middle.

  Sam Vaknin, you shared one of my videos a while ago which referenced your ideas to the alleged “social nature” some attribute to humans, I was wondering if you’d be available for a chat sometime to speak about these ideas further, I’d be very interested in conversing with you. I don’t always agree with your sentiments but thankyou nonetheless &nbsp;for your insights
