In like manner, future-sight is also no longer in the realm of fiction and fantasy.

An A.I. with that much data and good enough algorithms can accurately predict human actions.

They already have this going on in Facebook fyi. They can predict various things you will do based on your data.
With more and more data and possibly this omni-present data, an A.I. could predict a whole lot more.

Are we.... making a deus ex machina?

In a sense, we can create a system that is "omnipresent" as long as the cameras and network are on.
We kinda have in a way with smartphones.

As the future progresses and they are more powerful and possibly even integrated into the human body itself, an A.I. that is Omni-Present will inevitably come into existence.
That just means it can see and understand any human taking action in the world.
"What about those who refuse to take part in such a system?" That is what drones are for. Also satellite imagery.

Will this one be ran by Nazis like the Canadian one was?

oh ya, and future economic downturn could also give rise to this as they will feel the effects and look for a solution.
but their solution will come from their distorted worldview putting the blame on the wrong places such as immigrants

Tell these people that inflation and prices are going up and they just say it is Biden giving all our money to the poor via family stimulus packages.
Cite a news source saying that is incorrect and they will laugh in your face saying your news source is bad and theirs is good. Ask them what their source is and they will either say "I don't know" or "saw something on facebook"

It is unreal

It really is starting to feel like it actually is.
It seems like these things are giving rise to it:

1. disbelief of all media that does not agree with one's worldview
2. distorted worldview where the privileged are under attack by the underprivileged and certain allies in the government (ex: "illegal immigrants get more welfare that I get paid" "they are trying to erase white people")
3. actual movements that have arisen like march to not have to be vaccinated which puts alot of these people with like views together allowing them network, encourage and radicalize each other more
4. These people don't understand enough about the world to realize what they become (saying stuff like vaccine mandates is nazi germany fascism; ironic)

All it will take is a leader who they agree with and rally behind and this could actually be a thing we have to contend with.

Any Christian church that accepts the old testament and thinks the the new testament is alive as opposed to... dead(Calvinism might say that parts of the old testament have already been confirmed)...?

Your post is confusing, and I am not sure it is even relevant.

But I can breakdown for you:

1. 7th day aventists - believe the old testament is still binding and worship on Saturday
2. Catholicism - believe the new testament is accompanied by an oral gospel of which is still being added to by their clergy such as the pope

So yes, you can probably find whatever it was you were asking.

My point though was that "the bible is only considered the word of God because it says it is itself!"
Is not a good argument since the bible is collection of books from various writers over thousands of years.

Religion is like believing in bigfoot.

Religion exists, bigfoot doesnt. ?

The bible is multiple books.

Your op is in error.

Christians believe the new texts are valid because they believe the older texts had fulfilled prophecy and the newer texts also fulfilled prophecy.

Between the last old testament book to the first new testament one is about 500-1000 years. I don't recall the number off the top of my head.

Actually, while the usual narratives about demonizing masculinity are bullshit, it does seem like it only ever comes up in negative contexts. I'm all for contrasting toxic masculinity with positive masculinity.

so what is positive masculinity, start

One problem is that we dont have as many manufacturing jobs. Back in the day, after high school you wouldnt get a minimum wage job at a store, but instead start working at a manufacturing company and work your way to better pay. Those jobs also had great benefits including awesome pensions. Those are gone, mostly do to cheaper overseas manufacturing, but also automation has made as many people doing that type of work unnecessary.

And why are they gone?

Guess who wants more profits and doesn't want to open a factory and have to pay better wages?
You guessed it, multi-millionaires and billionaires.

Even men in the age when it was a thing for women to stay at home and be housewives would wonder what worth their wife brought to the table as they went to work.

You really think women won't do that when men stay at home playing video games?

Where

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna15576

An Ohio village Monday failed to approve a zoning ordinance that included dozens of affordable housing units after opposition from comedian Dave Chappelle, who called the Village Council "clowns" and threatened that his business ventures would be "off the table."

Yellow Springs, Chappelle's hometown, is the planned site of the entertainer's restaurant, Firehouse Eatery, and comedy club, Live from YS, which are under development in an old village firehouse.

Chappelle has previously threatened to pull his business investments from the town if the development were approved as proposed. He has not publicly specified exactly what he opposes in the plan.

They mad girls can build wealth using that site?

this does nothing to address the underlying prejudice that society has against men in a specific age range. i make $130K a year. i don't need more money, even if it would be nice it would not help the probelms this article discusses.

but i dont think that u r looking for genuine discussion

It makes them acheivers as the op said is the problem.
It makes them able to find a partner and start a family as the op states is the problem.

Perhaps it is you who did not want a genuine discussion?

@WarfireX

Actually, still have my pre-order bonus artbook and music cd.

Not worth much though last I checked despite the game being worth too much.

Get ASAP lol, it is kinda pricey.

I regret selling it long time ago. I bought and played it when it came out.

But tbh, the gameplay itself wasn't that great. As part of the Suikoden story it was ok.

Something something bootstraps

Thing is, even if you become upper middle class, you likely will not have a very good old age experience since the declining births means the help you will need will be unaffordable even for you.

So, idk do you plan on dying before age 60 even if you are wealthy? Probably not.

Then even bootstraps cannot fix the problem for you. You will need to become a multimillionaire as well so you can pay the expensive fees or buy a helper robot.

https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2021/09/united-states-births-declined-during-the-pandemic.html

Births been declining every year.
This happens when people can't afford families. Why can't they afford them? Wages stagnate as corporations declare record profits.
People been protesting about this for awhile and nothing has been done to fix it. (occupy wallstreet etc)

As it turns out, we know what happens when births keep declining. Society begins to break apart as the economy is producing things not bought by everyone (less buyers) and the elderly people don't have enough people to care for them.

Ofc, the super-rich will still be fine. But you probably won't, even if you consider yourself above upper middle-class.

Now to address my thread title.
Shilling for billionaires means the problem won't be corrected as it has not for many years. So, if you do that, you are kinda part of the problem.
