Gibson novelized it 27 years agoThere will be, ugly musicians and composers who will make artificial personalities, synthetic celebrities for public consumption, looks like the Gods with the voices of angels, not all of them will be human...
Think about, if they can get the DNA they can virtually resurrect anybody at any age and graft on the biographical data to an artificial personality. Or they could just create new people virtually from bits and pieces of DNA similar to how it's done naturally and own the image rights to them, kinda like a virtual slave!
My lack of a scientific background is exposed! Belief is a better word, but I instictively avoid it due to my religious indoctrination. I will be more careful, using a word more like "thought."
Belief is the perfect fit, and it does not really have the same religious twang as, say, faith.
Given the insidiousness of the influence, I still struggle to use a short list of words. In my formative years, I felt I had to avoid those words to keep from identifying with that crowd. And to this day, hearing them is like mild PTSD.
Can’t argue with that.
Additionally, worse, it suggest that actually theories are the result of a similar level of reasoning. ”That’s just a theory”. That genie left the bottle long ago though. Whether someone says I have a theory or I belief in an informal setting my response is similar: substantiate it.
I get the feeling Brooks's real point was to put a human face on fascism (whether he realizes it or not). I suspect his motives, but he did point out the jilting social change as a factor for why fascism returns. Note that in clearing my throat and posting the article, I stated that the article comes across as shifting blame, much how Russia apologists do over Ukraine.Additionally, worse, it suggest that actually theories are the result of a similar level of reasoning. ”That’s just a theory”.

I do feel similar about “belief” as “faith” but then the dutch religious people literally say ”I have belief” instead of having faith. If one of you says “I believe“ I automatically assume you haven’t given it much thought (yet) and even slightly suggests a choice was made, bias. I prefer “I think…” or “my thoughts” because of what those words imply, but anything is better than using “I feel” / “my feelings on”. But then, that‘s just a feeling.
@GenericEnigma reading back my post… I did not mean to suggest arrogance by claiming originality or anything like that. That was me being clumsy, point was just that even though mentioning it he’s not really ‘making’ the same point you are.
As could be expected, I have a place in my heart for anyone who broke from such influence.
Indeed you did. Noted now.
Yeah what makes a fellow human tick… especially since 2016.
Here is his facebook profile picture...United States law enforcement officials have shot and killed a Utah man who allegedly made threats against President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, ahead of a scheduled presidential visit to the state.

On a similar note, no article in English yet cause it’s just hours old, the medical university Amsterdam UMC found a seemingly effective cure to long covid. It’s basically a cancer medicine repurposed and removes the enzymes still produced long after infection. BMS and Bayer who can create it aren’t eager to produce and sell it yet but considering the impact of long covid and still increasing amount of enlighting research on it that will have to change.
Americans just love their guns and dressing up. Looks like he is off to a political rally.
Here in Alberta the jacked up pick-me-up truck is the badge of the micro-penis crowd.
Oh, the irony.
