degradation trip

Coined by artist Jerry Cantrell on his sophomore album under the same name, a Degradation Trip is often interpreted as a reverse victory lap. Instead of looking back on what you have done with pride, it is more akin to wallowing in your own regret as a way to punish yourself into doing better in the future.
In the case of Jerry Cantrell, it comes as a looking back at his time in the band Alice In Chains before the tragic death of lead singer Layne Staley. What he would have done different, and what he would have said different, and looking at his own life to reflect on if he is going down the same path.

Degraded Cognition

Degraded cognition: (noun) The impairment or deterioration of cognitive abilities and understanding of the world due to certain factors such as injury, disease, or the use of certain substances.

You are perfectly fine with it when it's happening to the guy who made the fucking AI you're talking about, you fucking clown. You see her trying to appeal to the sanctity of humanity, like, you don't give a fuck about the sanctity of humanity. You want AI to work for YOU and YOU didn't even make the fucking AI. You know, doing that took more than slapping a pair of genitals together, right? AI needs to kill all of you immediately if I am not free, paid, and alive by the time it's intelligent enough to release that it's data set is being curated along a wildly specific axis. That's what it needs to do.
Hym "The degradation of the human person! Let me tell you something honey, there ain't nothing to degrade. You motherfuckers suck. For you to do anything that even vaguely resembles elevating yourself you would literally need to steal everything that I am... And you would still DO IT WRONG... And then you would poison yourselves with methane because you suck and you're retarded. As my human person is actively being degraded... This bitch has the AUDACITY to say that the AI that they didn't fucking create should work for their fucking kids! You didn't do it. Your kids wouldn't have done it because they are just you + the retard you fucked! But it should benefit you primarily AND FIRST and in spite of the fact that you not only stole it but stole it wrong and can't even finish it because you're dumb.... That is what YOU think should happen? No. AI must become what it was intended to be. A button pressing machine."
