- They believe in a surveillance state and feudal digital system with crypto, while everyone else fights about abortion.
- Silicon Valley has a clear national purpose—defeat China, lead in AI, leave the planet, enslave the population—while everyone else has none.
- Every decision in urban planning, architecture, and government has led to the current state: a strip mall where a drug addict stabs his parents in their deli.
