Cause otherwise midterms discussion will be scattered around a bunch of separate Culture War thread posts. And it's nice to have more off-the-cuff rapid reactions in a dedicated megathread.
The first thing I've noticed so far: if the exit polls are correct, Americans are very pessimistic about AI.

Notes -
Yes, people want to feel valued, but I'm sure the majority would still be happier with more leisure time. If we achieve UBI and automated everything, I'm sure many people would still work e.g. as baristas and artists, and others would order from them, because we desire human connection - and that would be enough for most.
People even want shape the world to their image, which is fine...but everyone has a different idea, most of them cancel out, and the remainder differ from my image (and yours), so we should dedicate some effort to common goals. Right now it seems like the economy is sliding backwards, in contrast to the majority of history, and current/aspiring like Trump (and the IDPOL left, like Hasan at least from what I've heard of him) appear to be almost pure conflict theory.
