Agreed. The West is this schizophrenic dysfunctional clown-show shell game that cannot plan long and survive against China. Meanwhile China looks like 2085 already and did that in decades. It looks like Super Intelligence may force the West to hyper-optimize, because no longer will inefficient idiocracy be a passing grade against Chinese pressure. A SI-supercharged multipolar future forces competition and breaks stagnation. Even if Leftist communists take over for a few years, it cannot last against that pressure. Really, President Bernie Sanders would probably have to bow to SI accelerationism as a national security priority from the DoW. Unless the US truly loses its mind, and we know it mostly has already.
