I wish somebody would understand that these people, these de facto leaders, are themselves merely programs. Yes, they have lives and roles within families and the like, but their behavior is rather rote. They are the product of culture, and will employ any aspect of culture that feeds their feedback loop. That might be part of the consciousness of nature, of an Earth that is feeding back the unsustainable nature of the human population as it is now both in number and in overall attitude. Yes, it's alarming as you mention. It is no less alarming if understood within the planetary feedback systems. They are the natural outcome of thoughts and attitudes that started to solidify in modern form many hundreds of years ago around the 15/1600s. They are the result of patriarchy as well, and that started some 13 thousand or so years ago, easily. So, here we are, and few of us care.

All of this is intersectional and the heaven in technology people are all wedded by one attribute and that is their belief in the human being as a source of rot and corruption. It's the same old Cartesian song. It's the same old hatred of the living experience. Nice to see this material again.
