    Independent education and practice in foundational skills inherently threatens entrenched interests. For example, professional organizations have always managed the flow of entrants to their fields. Autocracy-controlled AI is the killer app to displace professional development, creating an unbridgeable gap in knowledge and experience — the “knowers” and the “know-nots”. Discuss.

      Guild halls and Freemasons were doing this kind of thing long before now.

    I think the US should consider this, without age checks for radio waves, children can get lured into pornography and gender dysphoria by non republican pedophiles.

      In practice, extremist right wing and extremism left wing regimes do employ similar tactics.

      Of course that implying that you have an extremist regime in the USA, is something that only someone that’s completely shielded from reality can do. But I do know that in some circles, it’s fancy to do.

    It all seems a bit anachronistic these days like something from Lives Of Others that should have been gone with the fall of the Berlin Wall.

    Absurd indeed, and sad.
