But making sure that every single person has access to sufficient food is a core job that government has to do(**)...I understand that from the US' point of view, I am an evil

The scary/evil part is when the government is in complete control of the food supply, because that's how you get Holodomor (ie, the government exports food out of the country during a famine in order to oppress enemies of the regime).

There are exceptions, but the vast majority of Americans believe people shouldn't starve (and most would like the government to do something about it). Even Libertarians think people shouldn't starve, although they don't agree on how to stop it.

Conjecture: A decade of established companies focusing on their stock analysts numbers improving leads to a culture of stagnation, status quo, decay and lack of innovation.

It's HP, they've had a culture of stagnation, status quo, decay and lack of innovation for decades now. You could also add backstabbing, lack of transparency, insane office politics, corporate hellscape as a part of their culture. Their existence shows how far you can get based on a culture of stagnation.

As much as I agree with the statement that contemporary LLMs certainly differ a lot from what we experience as "thinking" from other human beings, the problem with this line of argument remains that there is no consensus on what exactly manifests "thinking",

The problem with this line of thinking is that you are ignorant of the fact that we CAN say what is not thinking, and we've narrowed down the problem quite a bit.

It is generally agreed that chocolate bars do not think. Rocks do not think. Pocket calculators do not think. We know what thinking is not, even if we can't define it fully.
