Um, I'm, I'm really fascinated to see like what the reality is underneath this, but, you know, by, by at the end of the day and what this means about what we've all been told all these years about all these groups.

It's funny, there was a Nathan Fielder sort of AI video that looked so real, which is he's basically saying, hey, our business model is to fight racism.

We need to fund more racism and then we'll get more business.

Yes, correct.

Exactly.

Yeah, and one of the things is the lucrative, and again, it's because they get cloaked in this kind of NGO lens.

I mean, they've got, you know, the amounts of money at play are not small.

You know, they're very, very low.

You know, so I don't know, the SPLC has something like an $800 million endowment and, you know, it has an enormous budget.

And by the way, people get paid a lot of money to do this work.

And by the way, there's recurring scandals on that front also, which is you get a lot of these kind of activist kind of foundations and so forth where when you look into it, it's like some giant percentage of their spending is going to salaries and expenses for their employees.

Um, and so, and again, they get, they kind of, they, they cloak it and, you know, they cloak it in virtue.

Um, and then you kind of look underneath and you're like, wow, like this is, this is, you know, this is, this, this is amazing.

Like, and by the way, like, I don't know, it's America.

Maybe they should be allowed to do all this, but like, maybe we should not get, yeah, maybe we should not get lied to in the process.

You know, maybe, maybe, maybe all this should not get then dressed up to make us feel like, you know, our, our whole society is rotten and immoral and that, and that, and that, you know, deplatforming and censorship are, and debanking are good ideas.

People respond, of course, with, hey, this time is different because it's all potential cognitive work.

And then there's also this other statement of, hey, humans will differentiate among taste and agency, but it seems like AI can do that too.

And then that juxtaposed, there's also the statement of, hey, it won't replace a lot of the jobs because a lot of jobs are make work anyways.

You had this tweet the other day of, hey, I've been saying companies have been two to four X bloated for a long time and people have just been unwilling to deal with it or look that in the face.
