My problem with the film doesn't require your level of fisking. I hate the partisan spin at the end. I'm also with you on the exception taken to trying to solve one problem by making another worse.
Basically western civ has proven it can't make intelligent decisions. Humans are smart, but the system we've made isn't. Sadly, I think we moved away from monarchy too quickly. Simply amplifying one mind would have been better than this mindless paperclip maximizer.
Timely observations. I was wavering on whether to carve out time tonight to watch this doc. It sounds like a work that will do more good than harm, but I don't anticipate much in the way of revelations. So I'll give it a chance but ... there will be fast-forwarding!

Anything that moves the needle into the rational world is a plus!
Could have moved it a little harder but not a total loss.
I'm over here thinking a flat earth might not be such a bad thing ... at least then I could jump off! 😝
Might not be possible!
Ha ha! If it's truly flat, anything is possible! ;-)
