Trying to Talk About ASI With Normies Makes You Sound Delusional
flowersslop · x · 2026-11-12
The author admits he can't discuss ASI or what might happen next year with friends and family without sounding like a chronically-online person lost in sci-fi fantasies. He finds it increasingly frustrating that being rational about what's unfolding makes him look delusional, when from his vantage point it's everyone else missing what's happening in plain sight. He blames the media for not covering it and says the perception gap has grown absurd.
