In short, he has full Trump Derangement Syndrome. He endorses Kamala Harris, but has nothing good to say about her, except that she is not Trump. He is Jewish, and he acknowledges that his Orthodox and Israeli friends much prefer Trump. He also cites a couple of other Jews who are paranoid Trump-haters.
I am not going to try to answer it, because it is the ravings of a madman. Trump was President for four years, and it was a period of peace and prosperity, except for covid. Aaronson has no quibble with that, but is obvious triggered by Trump's personality.
He sounds like a paranoid schizophrenic. He is so crazy as to question his judgment on anything else.
He complains that he found these comments on X-Twitter:
“Shut the fuck up, Zio, and stop murdering babies.”None of this is from Trump or Republicans. Since the Gaza War started on Oct. 7, 2023, a faction of the USA Left and Democrats have become anti-Israel and anti-Jewish. Aaronson is obviously unhappy about this, and firmly sides with Israel in the war, but it is completely crazy to see this as a reason to vote against Trump.“Two-state solution? I have a different proposal: that all you land-thieves pack your bags and go back to Poland.”
“you Jews have been hated and expelled from all the world’s countries for thousands of years, yet you never consider that the common factor is you.”
“Your own Talmud commands you to kill goyim children, so that’s why you’re doing it.”
“Even while you maintain apartheid in Palestine, you cynically import millions of third-world savages to White countries, in order to destroy them.”
One can have political disagreements about taxes, or Ukraine aid, or abortion, or 100 other issues. That is not what is happening here. He probably agrees with Trump on a lot of those issues.
Aaronson also believes in many-worlds theory, where all possibilities happen in parallel universes. He said Google had achieved quantum supremacy by generating random numbers. Now he worries that AI will destroy mankind.
Smart people can believe in crazy stuff.
With a little bit of luck, We will be living in the particular universe where Kamala does not win the election. Too bad Aaronson can't find a way to logically explain how people in our actual universe could elide to an imaginary universe...without being certifiably insane.
ReplyDeleteThe multiverse is a mathematician's way of explaining away how unbelievably improbable life is by hiding a needle in an infinite haystack...and then leaving out all the details.
Aaronson adds that his wife and kids are citizens of Israel, so he can move there if he has to.
ReplyDeleteIf he really believed in the multiverse, then Trump and Harris would each win in parallel branches, along with copies of himself. So why would he even care who wins the election?
