So now we have a bunch of people who spent years graduating in these fields in high demand when they started, that now will not find a job, and won't repay on their loans. Have fun.

remember that scene in the second matrix, when the old dude in zion says they have no idea who built the thing that keeps them alive and how to manage it?

that.

> People who produce value that cannot easily be replicated by a machine

at this point, I don't think there are that many, even CEO. The point remains. Once you automate everything and nobody is employable, to whom are you selling to exactly?

Yes the problem is, who is going to buy the stuff the company produces, if nobody has a job to afford what the company produces?

I am really tired of americans bullying europe into compliance. We don't want your products, we don't want your laws. Go to hell.

Because if you want discourse and exchange of ideas, you have to allow both sides to discuss about a topic. otherwise you get a circlejerk echo chamber. Which is what reddit subs are.

The problem is that mods ban you for just having an opinion or making a joke. It's basically like you are in soviet russia, where anything you say can put you in trouble with the KGB.

mod powertrips are the problem that will bring reddit down.

> Some of the greatest writers were also "political activists" by today's standards.

This is a common misconception. The problem is that those were writers that used the politics to talk about a story. Modern writers are using a story to talk about the politics.

Good writers ask great questions. Lousy writers give you the answer they want you to accept.

because

1. James Bond is absolutely far from man boss. He gets into mortal danger all the time, and you don't know not if, but how he will manage to escape. He's cunning, fast thinking, suave, sexy, but not immune to be bested. His opponents are stronger than him. Jaws was terrifying. Scaramanga had him down to a final confrontation that was gripping and enduring. Girl bosses are different. Girl bosses face pathetic enemies that don't challenge them, and weak villains make for weak heroes.
2. James Bond is an archetype that every man aspires to be, and every woman aspires to have. No woman wants to be Brie Larson Captain Marvel, and no man wants to have her. She's an insufferable entitled brat whose only gripe is that is kept in check by the patriarchy but she's so awesome.

I don't have a problem with a strong girl protagonist, but I see your point that they are guaranteed to make it strong *and* unlikeable. Because this is the main problem. There is no problem in strong female characters. There are plenty, and interesting. But they are *well written*, *human*, *relatable*, and often *flawed*.

Take Nikita. It's a great movie with a great female protagonist that is also an unlikable killer. But why is she not "woke"? because despite her flaws, it's an interesting character. Unfortunately modern writers have decided that they are no longer writers, but political activists. They don't create engaging characters. They create a podium, a sockpuppet from which to preach to the audience. And that's what makes a game woke. Not the female protagonist. But the female protagonist is a potential symptom in this day and age that, unfortunately, you might be right.

they literally destroyed the franchise, and it's been 20 years in the making, new low after new low. Star wars is dead. Kids don't care, old people don't care.

Feel free to throw away another few hundreds million dollars Hollywood. Nobody gives a damn about star wars.

European here. It's way more than woke. Liberal-leaning social media such as reddit and twitter started banning the conservatives because "toxic", "mysoginistic" etc. The result of this, is that all the conservatives moved to echo chambers with no contradictory such as truth and X.

The idea behind freedom of opinion is also to ensure that people are exposed to opinions of any kind. If you start banning an opinion you don't like, that opinion doesn't disappear. It just moves to a different place where it just reinvigorates surrounded by similar opinions and strawman arguments of the opposition.

Any right wing vote is the result of a left wing that has lost touch with the people. People get angry and are worried. How do you think you are going to win them over? By calling them names and muzzling them, or by listening to their grievances and try to implement actual solutions or clarify the incorrect information around those grievances?

Annoyingly, this seems to be a lesson we have to keep re-learning every 100 years or so, because if you read history, it's always the same.

Reworking the narrative is a great sign that they are in cahoots with the russians.
