oh, and what Bush said in the 90s? I suppose all that went into marketing, and later on (i.e. nowadays) into 'engagement' metrics for online content and so on. so, as I said, they're not trying to heal you, they're trying to make a buck same as everybody else in a capitalist society/marketplace.
now all that scientific progress is being used in an information war. as war crazy as it gets.
i.e. I'm calling out the hypocrisy and straw escape goat to point that this piece is just another salvo in the ongoing culture war.
the societal mistake is to regard this as 'wealth production'; it's not. this is rent. this is where creative productivity (arguably real actual wealth) goes to die.
