when I was younger I thought the subplot of Ender’s Game in which Ender’s siblings shitpost themselves into running the world was the least realistic part of the book

Orson Scott Card was a prophet
Card was an early adopter of social media and "BBS will save humanity!" is a recurring theme in his 90s work
Yes, it reflects the times we live in now with tech savvy children ruling the world.
On the other side of the story, we need to take back control and stop to overwhelming amount of bots, fake news and rampant LLM's churning out new problems at an astonishing rate.

He WISHES he was smart, and ACTS like he knows everything. But he is the opposite.
The man bankrupted a CASINO.

That takes zero intelligence of ANY KIND. As does making vague empty promises.
They think they are, but that's part of the problem.
it's the $200m+ in donations that did the trick, not the shitposting.
