@weeklyshowpodcast: What happens when someone starts viewing society like a computer program? Quinn Slobodian explains how Elon Musk's worldview turns people into bugs, bots, NPCs, and code to be rewritten. #TheWeeklyShow #JonStewart #Politics

thebigdoopa :

You said “musk’s computational lens” and I laughed. He knows about as much about computers as my mother.

vant876 :

This seems entirely over thought and gives Musk more credit of working with a set of rules and morals.

UltraVincent :

Why are we conflating high wealth with high intelligence/morality?

Zaak :

Trillionare undertaxed

Dat Parish Girl :

He sees possession of data as power and it drives everything he does. Tesla is a data-mining operation fronting as a car company. Starlink, likewise, is a data-mining operation fronting as an internet service provider.

Heather :

this gives musk way too much credit.

Alan :

Is Musk taking a fantasy like outlook and assuming that outlook will work…

Taonothan :

This shit is ridiculous.

raydelray :

It's a voting issue, nothing more

Carlo :

Rosa Peace :

daveanderson312 :

wealth does not mean worthy

pickleballwidow :

Musk is a white supremacist.

evagonzales800 :

Wow

SBM :

with Tesla/SpaceX/Tesla - he basically wants a Manhattan Project - of only the best of the best - without other concerns like gender/race, etc. largely, out of experience, he can see 100 absolute elite minds produce something so unfathomably successful and profitable, that the taxes from it can support 100k+ people without the skills or talent - better than including 50 less talented would in the initial 100. there probably is a lot of truth to that at the absolute tip of the top. whereas accounting for other DEI metrics, brings in a lot of subjectivity, that takes focus off - achieving the most with the best.

bryan Jackson :
