Or is it the silicon-valley-ization of the military? I mean, they've corrupted everything else, why wouldn't they be able to corrupt the military as well?

Nice to see that not all regulators have become toothless jokes like the SEC.

> - if you give people the chance to place a label on themselves to give a name/form to a problem, they’ll take it.
This one is widespread among the young people I’ve worked with recently. It’s remarkable how I can identify the current TikTok self diagnosis trends without ever watching TikTok.
There’s a widespread belief that once you put a label on a problem, other people are not allowed to criticize you for it. Many young people lean into this and label everything as a defensive tactic.
A while ago, one of the trends was “time blindness”. People who were chronically late, missed meetings, or failed to manage their time would see TikToks about “time blindness” as if it was a medical condition, and self-diagnose as having that.
It was bizarre to suddenly have people missing scheduled events and then casually informing me that they had time blindness, as if that made it okay. Once they had a label for a condition, they felt like they had a license to escape accountability.
The most frustrating part was that the people who self-diagnosed as having “time blindness” universally got worse at being on time. Once they had transformed the personal problem into a labeled condition, they didn’t feel as obligated to do anything about it.
Some young people in that phase of their lives where they grow into being responsible for themselves start missing the times when they were not responsible and try to extend those times with any pretext they can come up with. It's quite human but should of course not be encouraged.

Some might even say social science
A "discipline" where you can say just about anything because there's no way to prove or disprove it.

Adding insult to injury, we also have now the "humans are just bad biological AIs" wave of thinking. Hooray.

Who would have thought that this AI shit that is being forced on us ushers in a new round of censorship and control of formerly free speech! /s

Looks very in-group. I don't think drive-by readers are supposed to understand it.

don't forget the useful idiots.
I don't exclude them and they have already been covered by my parent comment.
