perhaps more sinister, it's not really a solution for them, it's a problem they have mistaken for one.

Yes. Exactly.

The best problem solvers are those that recognize the default position is that doing nothing may be the best solution.

These people don't have the mental acuity to solve problems because they've never solved problems themselves - they've just been told how to "solve" them.

But what would these people have without problems?; just the big scary unknown. They're not really looking for solutions, rather just problem-pinning

This is because they have been coddled, so they don't even realize they are the creators of their experience, and most problems they have must be met from within. The overlords manipulate this because they know there's no solution for their "problem" - just temporary distractions. So they give them "wooden clogs" to go stamp out fires.

They're living a soap opera, where real people pretend to be fake people with manufactured problems, being watched by other real people living a soap opera, to forget their real problems.

I heard recently on an interview that AI is to 'relieve the burden of thought', as for most obedient people, thinking hurts - such as problem solving.

"The Circulation of Elites"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulation_of_elites

Vilfredo Pareto's theory on governance. Pareto has many theories beyond the 80-20 Rule known by economists. Many involving Efficiency, Optimization, the Mind and Society. He taught young Benito Mussolini as he was forming his ideas about the world he sought to lead.

The Circulation of Elites is what we are witnessing as we see powerful TrumpHaters become Trump Supporters, flip-flop on issues like gender, climate, vaccines, masks, Ukraine, all of it. They have no loyalty to ideologies or people. Only to their status in proximity to power. Marxist linguist Noam Chomsky described the same phenomenon in Manufacture of Consent, corporate managers preaching the wonders of capitalism easily becoming commissars preaching the virtue of communism. As long as it's the same elite position their values are flexible. Olympic gymnast flexible.

Vilfredo Pareto has a lot to learn from when seeking to understand the forces trying to perfect humanity, make us efficient and optimal, eliminate choice and "Inefficient Freedom" from the equation:

Only by fully understanding their motivations are we able to thoroughly defeat them once and for all. Rather than allow them to rule us however the winds are blowing.
