In general, Americans can name more professional sports stars than politicians

Pro Sports is not just entertainment. It serves a psychological purpose for the masses.

Great. Now give Asian Americans affirmative action in the NBA.

Any mental gymnastics used to support affirmative action in business or schooling should also apply to sports. If I hear someone complaining about lack of representation of X in certain field I will gladly point at NBA and Asian Americans ask them out that.

The reason for choosing new technology on the developers part is for job security. If everything were still php you would have outsourced his job to India ages ago. The fact is that the developers need to do this because of the ding dongs mbas in management.

The thing with exponential growth is that by the time you realize it, it is too late

Yes - from my experience managing bots, low IQ people and bots are pretty much indistinguishable, if looking purely at user behavior.

How many startup people have actually read “Zero to One” by Peter Thiel?

Yang has gone from 0 to 1 and is going to see exponential growth as Iowa gets closer. All these articles are people who have a distorted views of reality and chalk up his support as bots in order to fit their world view. The most likely reason from my observation is bias against Asian American men in leadership positions.

Polls have outdated models that don’t accurately reflect the age of social media. Prior polling models don’t work with the changing environment. For example most the people they poll are in landlines and 65+ yrs old.

Also polls are politicized now.

Yang campaign is actually seeing exponential growth. Thus the increase in smear articles.

The establishment is running through mental gymnastic excercise to rationalize these results. Thus them calling all supporters bots

Well since the population of the US also increased, the actual decline would be much more pronounced if population had remained constant.
