@lain @inference @sim @ademan You are assuming in your reasoning that the insurance company would somehow be able to believe things contrary to an official truth just because it is better for their business. But it wouldn't work that way. It clearly doesn't for most large companies, who will accept the official truth on anything even if it damages them, because the people in them are believers, and they are no different from the people outside.If there were inferences that are politically incorrect, they would simply be unable to see them. If they tried to see them, they would find it impossible to apply them. -

@ademan @lain @inference @sim You know this is the problem with merchant-types I alluded to prior. Our society is influenced mainly by priestly types (politicians, academics, journalists, etc.), these people have strong cohesion through a common religion, and organize not hierarchically, but act through a shared consensus.If merchant types banded together to oppose this religion, they would succeed, but they never do, because they don't have themselves the cohesion to do it.There is not a single society that has been ruled by merchants who were not also warrior like, for this reason -

@hakui @lain @inference @sim @ademan They don't. Merchant types submit to priests every time, and in almost every way.Our society is chiefly influenced by priestly types, meaning as I said, academics, journalists, and politicians.Every single facet of the ideology that drives todays society, every significant movement, ultimately comes from these priestly types.People like Bezos or Gates are obviously not very powerful. Everything they say is just repeating what academics told them, and the moment they stray from the orthodoxy they would become irrelevant and uninfluential. Merchants don't "buy out" priests, priests demand their share of money from merchants, and parasitically destroy companies through HR. They assuage priestly types by giving them the money they demand, but they do not drive ideology, nor can they. Plenty of woke companies do things that are completely against their interests, all the time. And they always submit. -

@hakui @ademan @inference @lain @sim It is obvious that being an entrepreneur is of lower social status than being an academic. Criticizing the former, and especially billionaires, is entirely politically correct, and entirely encouraged by the officially unofficial religion.Criticizing academics and journalists isn't, and especially what "experts" say isn't.
