Exceptions exist but this how I see things unfolding. Influencers replacing freedom of thought and free speech, the most alpha charismatic/intimidating individual ruling the less popular 99 completely even in their own private thoughts. Why? Because nobody would confront them in a society of punching down. And we see this in a group of girls all the time - 1 tyrant diva and 99 shells.
And men are not immune because I believe wealth itself to be effeminate. The alpha male today is increasingly a drama queen but it is the strong silent type that relates to the best man for the job. What an alpha male was classically speaking is the antidote to the manipulative talkers.
And yet we must try to be as real as we possibly can about the human species because we’re programming the AI based on what people say now. Never in human history has it been this important to notice the difference between what we say and what we do. Programme the AI like a wish machine of what ought to be and what we will find is a nightmare. Be careful what you wish for.
If there is hope for political correctness and programming the AI it lies in the scamps and seniors. You do want people who are going to be themselves, you want people who will deviate from the script, you want the people to be a bit like Trump. Trump wouldn't pretend to be a horse because he's sleeping in a stable which is everything the liberals like to do. Without being real the AI would think that humanity is an ever-changing chameleon that can be doctored into anything and everything at all in no time.
The MeToo movement is not just about women! It's also about men who suffered in similar circumstances ... Not sure the above link will wotk but it shows at least one well known male testimony
Inappropriate behaviour is unacceptable whether a man or woman is at the receiving end of it! It should be exposed and men (and women) who are unaware of what are the acceptable bounderies need to learn what they are! Too bad if it spoils their 'always taken for granted' fun and arrogance!
