[FRIAM] what is Gertrude thinking?

[Marcus Daniels]

Wasn’t social media supposed to bring people together?   Still I wonder if a distributed nervous system could provide many advantages and hasten the end of such idiocy.    It will be interesting (maybe in my lifetime?) to find out how skills are encoded, and how similar they are across people.   Do basketball players or theoretical physicists or writers evolve similar or diverse neural architectures?   Does it depend on the skill?   Do the idiots all experience a similar cognitive failure mode or is it mostly a viral sociological phenomena?

What I want to know is where are the Elon Musk copycats hiding?  I can't walk down the street without bumping into at least one idiot who wants to be the next Donald Trump.  Shoot an african american, abuse an immigrant, or beat a woman to death, and there's a line of people out the door who want a piece of that action.  Why can't we all just build space ships, electric cars, and neural links?
