You know, nobody is forcing these people to do all of this. Nobody is holding them hostage and telling them to be the worst person that ever lived. At any point, they could just stop to do whatever they try to do.
But no, they decided this is the way our society and civilization has to be run. And we still stand by and watch in disgust.

There is a train race. Just like car racers, you have train racers putting coal in the engine, pushing the machine forward the finish line.
At one point, a few racers are saying that they are moving at incredible speed and everything is “so hot”.
As any train, you own the speed, not the track! At one point, a racer might say that the current speed is too fast if a sharp curve is coming, but that he cannot stop putting coal in the engine because slowing down might cost him the race…
That’s what is happening.
N.B. I don’t agree with AI LLM and all that, I am trying to explain as best as I could.
See the Skeleton sport too…
