who ends up getting infected by both extreme wokeness and ultra-right monarchism? techies. who is the mental soil upon which ideas like ai safety and transhumanism breeds? techies. who is the only professional class that dove balls deep into crypto? techies.

u don't see doctors or lawyers getting oneshot by ayahuasca. something about being a computer toucher destroys ur mental defenses and means u can be convinced to devote thousands of hours of ur life and froth at the mouth over random half-baked ideas

i speak from experience as a Highly Memetically Susceptible Individual, of course
