A new investigation published in the American Psychologist Journal has discovered that artificial

intelligence can now predict people's political orientation even from blank faces, which is not at all surprising to me.

If your face is blank, you are probably a liberal.

This is not even an original observation.

Bob Hope expressed the same intuition in 1940.

The zombie has no will of his own.

You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.

You mean like Democrats?

Even beyond the blank faces, I don't mean to diminish the study.

But is this discovery really that impressive?

Most of us can predict people's politics by looking at them.

If you have crazy colored hair and weird piercings and look like you hate your dad, you're probably a liberal.

If you're wearing a collard shirt and part your hair, you're probably a conservative.

More controversially, if you're a black person, you're probably a Democrat.

I don't like that fact. I wish that fact weren't true. I'm friends, as some of you know,

with many black Republicans, but it's just statistics.

Around 90% of black people are Democrats, and 90% odds are pretty good for predictions.

If you're a young white woman, you are also probably a Democrat. It's less certain, but it's also pretty good odds.

We are impressed by the supposed predictive power of these machines, not because the power is in itself impressive, but because

political correctness, wokeness, has shamed us into denying that we have the same power ourselves.

We have been told for decades that pattern recognition and predictions

are prejudiced and therefore evil.
