The Good Intentions Generation
This seems to be a generation in which good intentions are enough. Actually, I am not sure this is exactly right, let me try again. This seems to be a generation in which the signaling of good intentions is enough.
I just can't understand how Elon still manages to love humanity. All I see is people failing him at every step. He so genuinely wants to take the human species forward with all his strength. And who is stopping him? The very humanity he set out to push to greater heights.

Socialism will work because we have good intentions for it. Trade wars will work because we have good intentions. Tesla is valuable because it has good intentions.
Democratic socialism supporters don't even know what socialism is. Trump supporters don't understand squat about economics but just feel that Trump genuinely wants to help them. Tesla bulls don't even try to look at a balance sheet but just really, really love the idea of Elon Musk being a real-life but progressive Tony Stark. Not sure where I am going with this, but just frustrated this morning trying to talk policy in a world of virtue-signalling. In the last few elections I have been presented with discouraging but predictable choices. Now I am presented with a choice between two parties that have both lost their minds.
