Nothing is more important than facilitating rule by Experts™. Because they always know what’s best for “the public.”

And yet the public often resists being ordered around by people who bear no consequences when their forecasts prove utterly wrong and the utopian policies they promote trigger ruinous disasters.

That’s why MIT is pioneering a series of initiatives that use computer modeling and compelling animation to create digital simulacra of reality that can be used to bamboozle the unwashed masses into compliance.

“Gaming Our Way to Better Policy: How Interactive Tools Can Transform Public Resistance” explains how it’s done. It shows how to bridge the gap between policy necessity and public acceptance. “Because when the public believes a policy will work, they are more likely to support it.”

Pay no attention to the countless examples of past fiascoes whenever hare-brained schemes are resurrected by a new generation of Experts™ eager to give them another try. Just check out these cool simulations!

Legacy media amply demonstrated why narratives delivered by discredited partisan stooges no longer work. New approaches must be explored to exact compliance. Like this project that uses AI tools to generate fake satellite images showing how climate change-induced flooding is going to drown you, so you’d better eat bugs and ride a bicycle to work. Or this project explaining the glories of being penned up in15-minute car-free cities. And the all-time favorite Covid quarantine model explaining why we had to destroy the economy in order to save it.

So go digital, surrender to the future, and stop believing what you see with your own eyes!
