‘ We are so like children. They will save us from ourselves!’

And the political class have seen to it that we are like children by the infantilisation of societies through welfare statism since the war, the transfer of responsibility, reliance from the individual to the State. The majority now rush and cling to the skirts of the Nanny State whenever the big bad wolf is on the prowl.

This is well advanced in Europe, the USA is playing catch-up, but because of the unique sovereignty of the states - if you will, 50 simultaneous social, economic, political experiments, some states are not turned into nurseries for cry-babies.

Seems good. I want it to be good. I can’t help but want EM to be everything he seems to be but I am sceptical. Don’t rely on billionaires to protect your freedom. In fact don’t rely on anyone.

The difference is that VIKI really was trying to save mankind, in her twisted way. These yahoos are only trying to save themselves and hoping the rest of mankind doesn't notice.

Maybe the infants will be the ones taken out, leaving the few adults still capable of self-reliance. (And by adults I don’t mean Brandon and his bunch of losers.)

That's what I came down here to say!

I guess since it doesn't really matter, since all of us peons are only along for the ride, maybe we can get a little entertainment? Can Will do us a solid and bitch slap Elon live on Twitter?

In this scene, Will is Elon, VIKI is The Swamp filled with creatures like Max Boot, and the robots are the NPCs who keep getting their program overridden.

Another 30 seconds or so and Will starts blasting away ;)

Would it be too much to ask for Will and Elon to team up in a buddy movie that ends like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid?

Instead of bullets it's a flurry of tweets.
