China backs off Taiwan. Israel and Palestine make peace, Russia pulls out of Ukraine. The tariffs work and the US economy booms, the Red Sox actually win the World Series, standard of living and life expectancy goes up. By 2027 the world is in a state of prosperity not seen since the roaring 20s. Eggs are cheap.

All the stuff he promised would happen actually happens.

What would that do for politics? Would everyone going forward just be ranting criminal idiots?

We all know what followed the roaring 20s.

That, presumably, will be the fault of Biden. Or possibly Obama.

All of that happening would be in spite of trump, not because of him

The tariffs work and the US economy booms,

This is a literal impossibility. I was hearing a comparison about how Trump's presidency is poised to resemble Hoover's. Hoover also forced through tariffs that everybody told him not to do and it ruined the economy. It didn't bring back or increase factory production in the country, just made it harder for the populace to afford products.

Tariffs will bring back inflation to a roaring degree and likely lead to the permanent loss of trade partners. Canada is threatening to cut off the power supply for various states and two provinces provide the power for like 5 or 6 states. Trump's trying to put tariffs on everybody and their mother for daring to disagree with him or fact-checking his bullshit. No way that's sustainable or conducive a healthy economy. The markets and wall street have been turbulent everyday as a result and while I don't give a fuck about rich people crying over the market, many normal people's retirement accounts such as 401(k)s are tied to the stock market, meaning a populace that's going to work longer than they normally would and less workforce solutions for younger people. Already unemployment claims are going up after Biden had literal continuous job growth this entire term.

Trump isn't really doing this for any rhyme or reason other than he just seems pissed off at America as a whole for having the temerity to try and hold him accountable for his criminality.

I'll believe the "life is actually a simulated reality" theory and that someone rewrote the programming. So I guess I become religious because that person would be a god? At least in the sense of controlling my reality.

Like, it's already not working and he's barely one week into month 2.

Here's a little pro-tip, the wealthy don't actually care if we have a healthy or growing economy, recessions and depression can benefit them because it allows them to buy up failing competitors and leads to the permanent loss of competition, increasing their market control. We saw this most notably during the Great Depression when we had independent theaters and the major studios at the time bought all those up so they could control what gets shown and where.

Do you struggle with words or is it the concept of simulated reality? Trump's part of the simulation with me. The Programmer decided he didn't like the direction the algorithm was taking his video game so he rewrote the script.

Actually now that I think about it, the world being a simulation and Trump playing it like a video game suddenly explains his behavior.

Musk too I guess.

He's just some idiot who booted up Civilization or Democracy and has no idea how to play.

Musk defo is using cheat codes to get him infinite money and lower his criminal record.

Highly improbable.

If Trump and Musk were being a radical about one or 2 things..... maybe. But those 2 are all over the place being radical to the point that it's just sheer chaos, and worse doing more harm.
Completely inconceivable. Not even worth entertaining as a hypothetical.

It would happen in spite of Trump.
And if it did, we're fucked for the next few elections
Trump is pursuing a chaotic far-right overthrow of existing US government norms and checks and balances, trying to destroy our way of life.
The market will go up as always. The country doesn't outright collapse.

Everything else that might happen will probably be at the expense of a vulnerable population or in spite of Trump.

Not as implemented. A functional implementation of tariffs needs a long run-up-- longer than Trump's term.

If you assume any rate of improvement at all, games will eventually be indistinguishable from reality, Musk said before concluding, Were most likely in a simulation.

I'm pretty sure he's yapped on about it in much more detail, but I don't really want to waste time in that rabbit shit hole. But there's probably juicier sources than that out there.

there are juicier sources indeed. Musk was basically just doing a rushed off-the-cuff summation of Nick Bostrom's argument about the simulation hypothesis. basically the idea is that the rate of technological advancement is such that eventually it will be possible to simulate the entire universe and life within it, and then technology will advance in that simulation eventually so that they will be able to make their OWN universe simulation, and on and on nested into so many simulations within simulations that the chance that we are in base reality instead of one of those many nested simulations is virtually impossible statistically speaking.
