Not that far off from all the tech CEOs who have projected they're one step away from giving us Star Trek TNG, they just need all the money and privilege with no accountability to make it happen

DevOps engineers who acted like the memes changed everything! The cloud will save us!

Until recently the US was quite religious; 80%+ around 2000 down to 60%s now. Longtermism dogma of one kind or another rules those brains; endless growth in economics, longtermism. Those ideal are baked into biochemical loops regardless of the semantics the body may express them in.

Unfortunately for all the disciples time is not linear. No center to the universe means no single epoch to measure from. Humans have different birthdays and are influenced by information along different timelines.

A whole lot of brains are struggling with the realization they were bought into a meme and physics never really cared about their goals. The next generation isn't going to just pick up the meme-baton validate the elders dogma.

The next generation is steeped in the elder's propaganda since birth, through YouTube and TikTok. There's only the small in–between generation who grew up learning computers that hadn't been enshittified yet.

		That's self selecting gibberish. Computing has nothing to do with the machine. The first application of the term "computer" was humans doing math with an abacus and slide ruler. Turing machines and bits are not the only viable model. That little in-between generation only knows a tiny bit about "computing" using machines IBM and Apple, Intel, etc, propagandized them into buying. All computing must fit our model machine! Different semantics but same idea as my point about DevOps.
