Data centers only feed TESCREAL maws derived from science ... not fiction

This is not science fiction. Musk, Peter Thiel, Garry Tan and others buy into these beliefs and, in the context of one or more of the TESCREAL subsets, seek to build as many data centers as possible to achieve those ends. Do you get it? Stated somewhat differently: 12/16

Data centers are being built for bizarre desires of tech billionaires who do not care how much they foul this Earth, how fast people have to run on a rat wheel to meet the data centers’ needs, or much else. Next: ideology built on acid & not much else. 13/16
