Taylor Lorenz

She talks about how people aren't real.

And, like, she talks...

She's so good at weaving all these narratives together, but she's talking about the rise of AI and how things don't feel normal and how people don't seem real.

And she's basically insinuating that a lot of people in power are like droids, maybe, or like AI-controlled droids.

But the thing is, if you just stop and listen to her, she's correct at identifying the problem.

No, no.

She's correct that like we're feeling this crushing weight of like technology and like sort of tech surveillance being like enacted on us without our consent.

There is mass.

I mean, she's been one of the few people that's talked about the restrictions on free speech that are happening that frankly doesn't.

No one on the left and a lot of people on the right are not even addressing, but people feel, people see this in this very visceral way.

And ultimately she's talking about the problems of capitalism, but she's ascribing them to all these other crazy things.

But that idea where she says everything since 2020, everything feels fake and gay.

Everything feels like not real, whatever, whatever.

I am actually an expert on all matters that are fake and gay.

I think a lot of people, no matter where you're on the political spectrum, feel like our society is crumbling and our institutions are crumbling.

And she just has these like very compelling narratives around that collapse.

Yes, which is so good.

Let's dive in.

Just that it's like, it is a really nice town, but there's like, she grew up in kind of a not nice part of a really nice part of Connecticut.

And yet she doesn't believe in paid maternity leave.
