My suspicion is that Musk tweets out libertarian-sounding stuff to keep people off-guard about his true motives. I can't prove it, but I don't trust him at all. 50% of the animals he implants with the brain chips die and he wants us to believe he's going to put them there to cure disease. We must look really stupid. Too much weird stuff going on with this guy, which I briefly touched on in these 2 posts:
I remember that post. I too am paranoid about the elimination of books. My wife and I have a house full of books.
I also liked the reference to the Wall-E film. I doubt Disney would make that film today. It's too close to home. One of the things I liked about that film was the name of the space ship home of humans - "Axiom". Which of course is an assumption taken to be true that serves as a basis for further reasoning. Change an axiom, and the whole construct built above it changes, sometimes drastically. The humans on the ship just accept the axiom that they are to be taken care of by robots and have no agency of their own.
I think that our basic axioms of life (men as adult males, women as adult females, marriage, family, nations with borders, and on and on...) are being changed and the result is chaos. Of course this is being done purposefully.
Yes! So nice to hear another person who is not mesmerized by Musk!
