It’s not unique to America as that’s the pattern of religion, history.

The American Dream for me was always freedom from others bullshit in a “ok I have no obligation to your social gossip, religious or otherwise.”

Language is cancer as that is the source of all these mind viruses about economics when economics is just physical statistics. Language is used to obfuscate our only imperative is biological survival.

We’re still running on the fumes of the consciousness of the last century. We had the automation in the 50s to provide the basics for everyone in the US and religious nutters full of honorific ideas to history decide we had to make orthogonal jobs, modern piousness point achievements, a virtual scoreboard, to serve physical reality still.

Americans are pathetic. I’m glad I’m off the hook for their healthcare. This is an utterly insane culture reliant on 1984 Newspeak to align itself with the world not its own experience. Refuses to admit it may be the bad guy. Glad the other 8 billion are end running around 300 million idiots

What is interesting is that America has done it (and the rest of the west is following) despite its historical religion being very hostile to the accumulation of wealth (all the "eye of the needle", "root of all evil" etc.).

I say this often, but it's worth repeating - culture is easy to change given money and what it can buy: media, bot farms, GPU farms, LLMs, politicians, etc. Naturally, in every single one of these cases the US has got the best models money can buy...
