I think Elon is right about the idea of mind viruses. He just hasn't taken the premise far enough. All of us are infected by the algorithms around us, MAGA, Woke, MAHA ect. are all "mind viruses".

I doesn't matter how smart, compassionate, empathetic, creative or dynamic you are. As soon as you expose yourself to the algorithms you become infected. The more exposure the deeper the infection.

The idea that people are affected by their experiences is hardly novel. You don't need to dress it up as "mind viruses" and claim it is an "infection".

Yeah, sounds like parent is talking about "opinions" and "beliefs", something humans famously can't agree with one another about for as long as we've existed.

The tricky part is figuring out how to still collaborate and live side by side with people you vehemently disagree with.

Super simple: both sides engage in good faith. If one sides fails to do so...well we are still exploring the proper solution to that.

It's not experiences anymore, just engineered content.

What? Enough with the buzzy words. You are talking about ideas. And the more you stray from science and logic to justify your ideas, the more cognitive dissonance you will encounter.
