Technology is too politically correct
I ran into a friend, Rod, when I walked into work this morning. As we were speaking, he pulled out his SmartPhone and asked “What will be the temperature at 10 pm this evening?”
True to form (for 2024) the phone replied, “What temperature would you like it to be?”
(Up to this point, this is true and exactly what happened this morning).
What a normal response for 2024. After all, children are being taught all over the country they are not a boy or a girl. Here’s how obscenely illogical the world has become.
To the little boy who asked “Am I not a little boy?”, phones would counter with “Is that what you want to be?”
To the mother who’s child is extremely sick she takes him to the pediatrician. In response to the question “What is it doctor?” the doctor pulls up the Physicians Desk Reference on their phone while asking, “What do you want it to be?”
To the masses around the world asking “How dangerous is Covid?” science replies “Let’s see how dangerous we can make it appear…”
To the proud owner of a new Mazda MX-30, after asking his phone who manufactured his car, the phone replied, “What do you want it to be?” This owner has since bought several silver horse emblems as well as Scuderia decals and lovingly applied them to the car. He now announces to everyone he owns a 2024 Ferrari. (Actually, I had a neighbor who had BMW decals all over his Honda Civic. Amazingly, both had similar lines).
To the woman who visits dress shop after dress shop in search of the illusive perfect dress for the party she’s attending this weekend, the dress is a Balmain. (I use to have an aunt who was married to a missionary – obviously, they didn’t have much money. But she’d scour the used dress stores looking for the labels. When she found the appropriate one, she’d buy the dress, make her own dress, cut out the label from the high-end line and sew it into the homemade dress. Her society friends all over Switzerland ooed and ahhed over the beautiful dress she had purchased).
Yep, whatever you want it to be. That’s 2024. Society has finally evolved from “you can’t handle the truth” to “Truth? What’s that?”
Be that as it is, there is truth. My book, Prospering in a Socialist Society, is full of truth, detailing the various forms of government to why socialism is evil to how to prosper in such a society to the reason we do not have to experience 203 generations of tyranny before realizing this liberty idea is a pretty good one. In fact, we can improve where society is quickly. I detail how to do that in my final chapter.
That’s why Prospering in a Socialist Society is mandatory for your personal library. Get it NOW by going to https://TedLeithart.com/prospering-in-a-socialist-society/
