    PRIMARY DRIVER OF VOTER SENTIMENT BY PERIOD
    (“Its not the economy (alone) stupid”)
    1. Late 40’s to 70’s – National Security
    2. 70’s to 00’s – The Economy
    3. 00’s to Present – Immigration!!, Democracy, Divisions, Middle East => Together, oddly, put greater focus on national security than the economy. So this is an ‘unusual’ postwar period.
    via Ian Bremmer, The Eurasia Group

    DAVID SHAPIRO’S 5 YEAR AI PREDICTIONS
    (CD: Note: I have a clearer picture of the predictable economic and political consequences, with the political being the most risky, but I can’t really comment on the viability of these predictions. That said, even if they’re a bit early they don’t seem far off to me.)
    David’s Predictions:
    1. 2024 AGI THIS YEAR? Given the size and rumors about GPT5 Expect AGI This Year. Nvidia’s foundation agent models – every modality including embodiment, spatial, math. Robots that are already in the uncanny valley.
    The next Gartner hype cycle will be profound and then it will wear off… until the job losses start.
    2. 2025 will see the limited commercial takeoff of AGI.
    3. 2026 Kurzweil thinks ASI … Then we see unemployment creep up. Everyone across the economic and financial spectrum is saying the same thing: these things are going to fundamentally reshape our economic landscape and our relations to job and work.
    4. 2027 About when project Stargate will take off ($100B data centers in the desert), we’ll see the scale effects. We’ll need energy capacity (solar, nuclear). Constraints are (a) data and (b) chips. A lot of data is not useful (good) so we’re going to need new theories of categorizing the quality of data and information.
    5. 2028 All competitors will be online by this time. SO it’s impossible to forecast that future given the rate of evolution of the tech, and the number …
    We are going to see another confluence of multiple techs producing another ‘iphone moment’ so to speak.
    Top contenders: boston dynamics(Robots), openai(Software), nvidia(Hardware/Chips). (CD: IMO tesla)

    WHERE THE USA’S NOVEL GOVERNMENT WENT WRONG?
    The USA was designed to mirror European civilization’s strategy, metaphysics, traditions, values, and norms, but substituting middle class voting for monarchical decision making and natural law jurisprudence for Church moral decidability.

    The Anglo Lesser Aristocracy sought to escape and evict the self interest, rent seeking, and arbitrariness of the hereditary non-meritocratic nobility, the machiavellian mechanizations of the superstitious church and it’s competitive interests, and the idle peasantry of low character – and to create an entire system of governance what was in fact a rule of law not men – essentially, creating the primacy of the judiciary (constitution and supreme court) and the jury (voters that had demonstrate capability and responsibility) in providing decidability. Thus after the english, the second and more scientific attempt at government.

    Unfortunately, by extending the franchise to those who did not demonstrate competency later generations have poisoned the voting pool, and added utopian, magical thinking, infantilized, ignorant, and incompetent to the electorate and thus abandoning the first criteria of jurisprudence: the capacity to reason empirically by the evidence – where neither reason, empiricism, nor evidence exist in those populations – only socially constructed memes. Instead of rule by families with generations of successful governance of their regions and the state, and a parliament of the demonstrably competent by their successful survival and competition in farming, business, industry, and the military, we have credentialism replacing the priesthood, parasites replacing the productive, and immigrants replacing the group strategy, metaphysics, institutions, history, traditions, values and norms and the productive and the military all but evicted from governance and silenced.

    Eventually responsible men will need to use violence to restore order. Or there will be another fall of rome and a dark age that we have already entered will once again create suffering for a millennium or more.

    We might have survived the introduction of the bottom classes, but I doubt it. But hell has no demon like the intuition of women, that hides behind compassion and care what is causally fear of conflict and evasion of responsibility in everything other than her children. But in her attempt at care, infantilizes the population, generates irresponsibility, ignorance, and evasion of conflict thus evasion of its resolution and the gradual accumulation of dysfunction that results both in her family and in her friendship circles, and now into the society and state a s a whole.

    More unfortunately, the only cognitively feminine elites on earth – the ashkenazim, that behave as do women in all circumstances, have arrived at the same time to inspire these women to the same social discord that antisocial women inspire other women to enact – forming an army of sedition by fostering conflict by the false promise (seduction) that should women rule, extractions from the productivity of males would be institutionalized and those that varied in opinion would be crucified (cancelled) at least socially and economically, which is the modern equivalent of ostracization from the polity and abandonment to the brutal laws of nature without the protection of other humans.

    Cheers
