I was thinking about how folks are cheering for the idea of dismantling the gov’t. in return for a 1 time check for $5000, and…y’all. We’re failing the marshmallow test.

For example, AI gives me “productivity”* now, but it feeds off of existing text, meaning that we’re going to be stuck in a recursive loop, w/ no new ideas added. Plus, it’ll decimate our future environment through its consumption of our resources just so you don’t have to write an email.
A $5000 check now feels good, but in exchange for no government making incremental changes that improve our lives in small, imperceptible ways and continues to generate and distribute funds means that the future’s gonna be a lot more difficult to manage once that initial individual $$ runs out.
Every MAGA and techno liberal innovation seems to be geared toward instant gratification. Moving fast and breaking things feels good right now (for some), but leaves the future in ruins.
Just leave the damn marshmallow. I want us all to have something for later.
