    You don’t understand, let me reason it from first principles. The Olympics are good for world peace, everybody comes together, we have some fun races some nations win some lose, we all go home happy and pretend it was our nation that won in spirit. Ergo races are good. Therefore an arms race is also good. It will save countless of lives, they are like the Olympics, Ares was the god of peace really (I asked chatgpt).

      According to books, which are smart and true, war is peace, so this is true!

        Sorry my nootropics regime doesn’t allow me to read books, but I asked some chatbots and they agreed with you. I’m also going to have to buy a new calculator, because according to the chatbots the math on my calc is wrong.

            Well, I think that any self improvement group when going on long enough will run out of ideas and will go into ‘we should do book summaries and then read them to each other so we can optimize the amount of books we read’. So it went a bit from there. It is a scary odd pattern, where they all hype knowledge (esp in a reactionary way, so ‘the old books’(which those are is left to the reader)), but refuse to actually read full books.
