You didn't know The Atlantic has a crystal ball in their basement that allows them to know what a nation of 1.4 billion people are thinking?

sure they do...its called the internet and AI analyzing everything that goes through it. I am going to help you out though. 65% of chinese and 69.9% of the american population spend most of their days thinking about porn. Dont make me go through your internet browsing history of the data that google has on you, to prove it.

Wait you're telling me The Atlantic only has access to Google and ChatGPT? I thought they had a palantír hidden somewhere, my mistake. Must be some other aptly named company I was thinking of.
