Apparently, not that real...

"Holograms have rights too!"

Don't forget Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut,Jr.

"THE YEAR WAS 2081, and everybody was finally equal. They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal every which way. Nobody was smarter than anybody else. Nobody was better-looking than anybody else. Nobody was stronger or quicker than anybody else. All this equality was due to the 211th, 212th, and 213th Amendments to the Constitution, and to the unceasing vigilance of agents of the United States Handicapper General."

RASCIST!!!

Keep telling yourself that. I guess we will both see soon enough who was correct.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me

--Martin Niemöller

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And that process is continuing day be day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except the endless present in which the party is always right."

--George Orwell "1984" (June, 1949)

Is an AI-powered robotic surgeon subject to malpractice claims? Who is liable for a self-driving plane, train, car, bus, truck, rocket, etc., when it crashes and kills a bus full of nuns, children and puppies?

If only we could trust the regulators, huh?

The rocket, I mean.

“Power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.”

“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”

George Orwell, 1984

"Upend our political manipulations, rent-seeking, and grossly exorbitant profits."

TFTFY

It's a money shakedown, plain and simple. Don't hold your breath for any meaningful change.

I bet you are really a hoot at parties!

(hoot (v.) "to call or shout in disapproval or scorn," c. 1600, probably related to or a variant of Middle English houten, huten "to shout, call out" (c. 1200), which is more or less imitative of the sound of the thing. First used of bird cries, especially that of the owl, mid-15c. Meaning "to laugh" is from 1926. Related: Hooted; hooting. A hoot owl (1826) is distinguished from a screech owl.)
