I meant signal manipulation, but sure, that includes manipulating humans since we are just another signal input. That isn't a statement on values, just an objective description of how it works.

What exactly are the requirements for this tech? We know that accuracy can't be one of the requirements.

I remember an old friend visiting before Trump's first win. He protested the wars and was part of occupy Wallstreet. He too was disillusioned by the apathy of his fellow Americans. He learned a different lesson and was cheering on Clinton's loss. What we all have in common is a deep cynicism towards the majority and while it might be "right", it is not a helpful framework for getting out of our current predicament.

Technically did not get half of the votes this last time....

Nah, I am just tired of hearing people say they aren't going to do shit but tell others how they need to act. You think we aren't just as tired if not more? Plenty of people did more than either of us with less resources but you're here to "be right" instead of "doing good". Like you're still on the liberal myth that all we need to do is change enough minds and that will fix the problem. It is time to learn some new points.

If we crowd source a rocket i am told they don't ask questions when we offer them a seat. Oh wait, that was just another lie. I guess a guillotine would be more cost effective than a rocket...

Because signal matching and manipulation is not intelligence unless you're willing to admit that is all you are capable of.

Seems you're not too tired to lecture others though

It's impressive until it isn't because it decided to "fix" an issue by simply ignoring an exception.

Aside from winning the right to vote? We owe to the black panthers the free school breakfast program. But they too recognized how the system makes us powerless, which is why they sought a dual power structure

Protesting? I am talking mutual aide and survival programs that simultaneously agitated the status quo.

Take a look at what black America had to do to win the right to vote.
