What I find interesting about the Newsoms is that they both relentlessly promote liberal/left ideologies that are corrosive to family formation and undermine traditional values. However, at the same time, they've been in a heterosexual marriage for 20+ years and have 4 children together. By those measures, they are more "trad" in terms of their own lifestyle than most Americans are, even a lot of conservatives aren't married with 4 kids. So what that tells me is the Newsoms KNOW that the traditional family model is the best; that's why they chose it when they both could've chosen anything else. But as elites they still promote insidious ideologies that end up harming the ordinary people who listen to them. It's a perfect illustration of "luxury beliefs."

this is insane lol japan is running out of monks... so they're training AI robots called "buddharoid" to replace them 😂 (im not joking): - japan's temples are closing because fewer priests are available to run them + aging population - the solution: chatgpt robots trained on 1000+ years of buddhist scripture that answer your spiritual questions - the robot even sits in religious prayer positions like an actual monk does. you can literally have a conversation on life's deepest dilemmas with a robot as smart as the dalai llama i cannot believe they're scaling these robots to run actual temples.
