Miraje, two thoughts:
First, as I keep reminding people, California isn't rich because it's liberal. Instead, California is liberal because it's rich.
Why is California rich? These days, it's because of tech. And to be sure, tech has enriched the lives of billions of people all across the world.
But the downsides of this tech-based prosperity are the following:
- Growing wealth inequality, even in a state that is supposedly liberal like California
- Astronomically high cost of living
- A sense of arrogance that you see among California's libtards, who think they can pursue all of these job-killing and prosperity-killing regulations because, you know, California has the 6th largest economy in the world.
And second, as we have seen from the batshit-crazy protests all across college campuses, social media has fueled and amplified people's extremist tendencies.
And California profited from all of this, both ideologically and financially.
With the current AI craze, I can only see this trend accelerating, not reversing, as AI will only help exacerbate every single factor that I brought up in this post.

P.S. - Yes, I am also part of this problem, given that I live in California and I'm working on technology that will help drive AI. |
