This AI-generated video foresees the future of New York under Zohran Mamdani. It is very good:
Is it an accurate vision of the future, not just for New York City, but for America? It could be. A time in which candidates can run as socialists–and win!–is dystopian. I think it is an open question whether the American people, collectively, are intelligent enough to sustain a democracy. I blame our horrifically bad education system, both K-12 and post-secondary, and our grim, lowbrow culture.
But who knows, maybe New Yorkers, and the rest of us, will turn back from the brink.
