By the way this proves indirecrly that basically all existing states are capitalist since all of them are in the "ai race"

*more convoluted

Capitalism spends fantastically in this jester stuff. Its role in the capitalist society is less convoluted than the role of more concrete industries. My comment is that capitalism in itself is religious and deploys these proxy religions as part of its own reigning logic to regulate power.

Capitalism permeates both, but the place both these modes have in the capitalist metareligion are different.

The error is thinking of "tech" as a monolithic thing. It's like confusing zen monasteries with christian megachurches with helipads. Actual technology is not the same as performative technology. Same e.g. "discourse" (pseudointellectualism) vs the actual industry of thought (research).

Capitalism only actually produces things (e.g. "industry") incidentally. It's always being gamed towards selling fake things (fast scams) or some kind of religion. The "tech" industry started migrating to religion/propaganda when people started talking about "evangelizing."

A revolution of any kind, if it is a thing at all, is about connection. It's about people giving deeper meaning and appreciation for each other's words.

Business is about buyers and sellers. It's fast and disposable.

There's a tweet somewhere about our brains having evolved to eat berries in a cave. Capitalist competition breaks people. Body and mind.
