@georgetakei These people are like a naive kid who finds out they can say anything they want to on the internet, but then they have to live the rest of their lives being mocked by others for the stupid things they say. History is those others that will be mocking Andreessen, Thiel, Musk, Altman, etc. But unfortunately they're adults and don't have that amygdala-prefrontal excuse to explain their behavior.

@georgetakei I think that the capacity for introspection is a key component of what makes someone a person and not just a meat golem. And I'm not just talking about Homo Sapiens, whatever the other components are, if a species has them, including introspection, then they're people.
@StarkRG @georgetakei i used to say philosophy is what differentiates humans from animals, but we always dehumanize behaviour we dislike and we have to acknowledge that these individuals who don't introspect or don't think or else ate indeed also humans. I'm not even sure psychiatrists have names for them, there simply are different types of minds.

Who has the most cartoon villain like views of the world?
Hint, only one of them was acting.
Vincent Price was a master criminal known as Egghead & was one of the smartest men in the world. He had a huge ego & was forever talking about his own brilliance while making egg puns on the #Batman TV show.
Marc Andreessen is bald.

@georgetakei People like this Andreessen fellow are the people who Socrates went after in his dialogues, and who eventually persecuted Socrates.

@georgetakei This is just more of the "empathy is bad" crowd's absolute bullshit.

Q: Are you leading a just life?
A: Never thought about it. I just do stuff randomly. Introspection is woke. My spirit animal is a jellyfish.

@dwalin_7 @georgetakei Human is our species, I'm not saying someone who is truly incapable of introspection isn't human, I'm saying they're not *people.* And I'm not talking about someone who doesn't introspect, but someone who actually *can't.* If you don't introspect, purposefully analysing and modifying your own behaviour, then you're giving up any semblance of free will, you're essentially an automaton reacting to external stimuli. If you actually *can't* do that, then you simply *are* one.

@georgetakei FFS even the word "introspection" isn't modern. It dates back to the 17th century in English but derives from the ancient Latin "introspectus", meaning to look within. Why are these billionaires so willfully, proudly ignorant?
I'm starting to think some of them are philosophical zombies - in that they have no inner lives - which perhaps explains why they think chatbots might be people and other humans are expendable.
@ApostateEnglishman @georgetakei If the ultra rich and their self-made billionaire power controls spoken language, they can control pretty much anything they want.

@georgetakei Yes, narcissists and psychopaths tend to not know what introspection is.

@georgetakei A 2021 study https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7935085/ measuring political attitudes correlating with damage to different sections of the brain found
"...people with frontal lesions held more conservative (or less liberal) beliefs than those with anterior temporal lobe lesions or no lesions. Additional analyses predicting ideology by extent of damage provided convergent evidence that greater damage in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—but not the amygdala—was associated with greater conservatism." -

Billionaires are sub-humans. They lack the higher functions that separate us from apes. They don't care about words or ethics. They lack imagination completely. They are fundamentally LESS THAN US.
