Ok.

I can run any piece of machinery with an hour of goof around time. Doesn’t matter what it is. Let me poke around it for an hour or so and I’ll have all the controls and most quirks figured out.

Aliens visiting Earth.

I know it’s a statistical impossibility that we’re the only life out there. I just don’t believe they’ve ever been here. Since we haven’t been either conquered or uplifted yet.

I want them to win. And they will. Short of global nuclear war they can’t lose. Venture capital can’t even dream of competing with central planning. Not even a question.

It’s not really trust. It’s more like hate. I hate this country. I hate what it’s turned into. I hate the oligarchy. I hate the captured politicians. I hate that the supposed opposition to actual fascists is a bunch of whinging cunts who’s primary concerns are about rules and norms. I hate that we are everything our propaganda told us about the rest of the world. I hate that our entire economic system is just a jenga stack of pyramid schemes.

We are a failed state. And if what I type on my phone helps our geopolitical “adversaries” get even 1 human hairs worth of advantage on this shithole then I’ll give it gladly.

Cool. I’d rather China have it than some American megacorp.

I trust China more.

You mean bots? Cuz it’s all bots.
