Amen. AI is useful for certain types of problems but not for others. Why company executives don’t appreciate that sufficiently to investigate and understand that before committing $$$ to AI is beyond me.

He’s out of his mind. When Nixon was having conversations with the paintings of long dead presidents in the White House, Alexander Haig was there to constrain him from making dangerous decisions. Haig was conservative, but he was not a sycophant. There is no one like him to constrain Trump.

Hillary Clinton: "It is shocking that Trump said no one informed him that Iran could close the Strait of Hormuz— I find it unbelievable that one of the fundamental pillars of geopolitical strategy in the Middle East was ignored — that was the first thing we assumed Iran would do”

You got it. It’s all about being reasonable - able to reason. Now go the next step. That blasphemous self-image the other day? Trump knows he’s not the Second Coming or the Antichrist. But he does seem to see himself as the small m-messiah of the poorly educated whom he loves. The Antireason.

That’s been known for years. I first looked into GEO Group about five years ago They were being sued back then for the conditions at their sites and for how they treated prisoners and detainees. Back then, they were pitching immigration detainment as a growth industry.

Agreed. But also no deferments. Vietnam ended quickly when college deferments were dropped. And as for bone spurs, you can serve in other capacities. Latrine construction, maintenance, and cleaning, for example.

Truth. As a clinical engineer, I worked with nurses in every care setting for over 40 years. Nurses always spoke truth to power, whether it was physicians, administrators, or anyone else. I learned early on that nurses were a patient’s greatest advocates.

… His followers know he loves the poorly educated. He loves them. He loves those who reject what they see as the tyranny of reflective thought. Of Reason. Trump and his disciples see him not so much as the Anti-Christ but rather the Anti-Reason. His rejection of reason justifies them.

Trump has Roughly cost us $100,000–$110,000 per day of taxpayer money, playing golf. Every single day of his presidency. Meanwhile, 40–60% of Americans can’t cover a $1,000 emergency without going into debt. Let that sink in.

Combination of both. He knows he isn’t God, and he knows the picture shows him as a divine being, so he’s lying. But does seem to believe he’s been divinely ordained and empowered, so he’s cognitively checked out Along with several million people who continue to support him
