Summary

Our shared digital hall of mirrors becomes more and more advanced, and so we must somehow find a way to advance ourselves beyond and outside of it. Don't let your fringe ideas clash too hard with another's apparently conflicting views. The same sponsor may likely have brought you both messages in the first place. Topics include: free stickers offer, elusive truth, long term coverage of AI topic, current AI systems, possibility of AGI, transhumanist movement, posthuman, science fiction, Conspiracy Culture and Truth Movement, dominant minority, mainstreaming of conspiracy concepts, semantics, perception vs reality, similarities of different fringe groups, history of internet, concept of internet as a distinct thing almost gone, social media dominance, data centers, future digital personal assistants, conspiracy ideas as propaganda, Cronenberg like reality, digitization of everything, amalgamation of media, augmented and virtual reality, beyond divide and conquer
