Yeah but Trump and Musk are showing the worst behavior of humanity in front of the entire planet. That scene in idiocracy with the president could easily be Trump or Musk. So I dont know if its a joke anymore.

There is no attempt to be a good person, have any morals, any shame... In fact, its the opposite of those things that make money and creates infamous individuals that get all the attention.

So its logical to assume that this path will continue, where any attention is great because it makes money through ads connected to what people are watching.

Of course we could say that humanity should not pay attention to this. That worked while the people doing the bad things were just celebrities. Now we have presidents and billionaires doing those things. Its affecting everyone what they say or do.

I think its easy to get a general sense of dread from observing all this. Many feel like the world has gone crazy. But its more that these specific people are getting the attention, or rather, taking it.
