Comparative analysis of the Norwegian welfare state and Stephen Kings thriller "Misery"
I had a go at AI today: https://deepai.org/chat
I was planning on writing this up myself, but I had a go at AI which came up with a fairly balanced response.
I asked the machine:
Please create a comparative analysis and find similarities between the Norwegian welfare state and Stephen Kings triller "Misery" In this context, also consider familycide, a situation that sometimes arises when the caregiver is financially overstretched. Take into account that most welfare states are financially overburdened by the demographic situation, some resources like oil are running scarce and that many countries in the past, including the scandinavian countries, have had a leadership that ascribed to overt eugenics. Assume that eugenics is still practiced covertly, even in Norway. In this analysis, consider Norway as the caregiver, and the norwegian plebs as Paul Sheldon

AI came up with this analysis:
The Norwegian welfare state bears some similarities to the situation depicted in Stephen King's thriller "Misery," particularly in regards to the concept of familycide. In "Misery," the protagonist, Paul Sheldon, is held captive and tortured by his deranged caregiver, Annie Wilkes. This scenario can be seen as a metaphor for the relationship between the Norwegian state and its citizens, with the state playing the role of the caregiver and the citizens being akin to Paul Sheldon.
One of the main themes in "Misery" is how a caregiver can become overwhelmed and resort to extreme measures when they are financially overstretched or emotionally strained. Similarly, the Norwegian welfare state is facing financial strain due to the demographic situation, dwindling resources like oil, and a history of eugenics practices that may still be covertly present in the country. This could lead to a situation where the state feels overwhelmed by the demands of its citizens and may resort to drastic measures to maintain control.

In "Misery," Annie Wilkes is portrayed as a devoted fan who becomes increasingly unstable and violent towards her idol, Paul Sheldon. This can be compared to how the Norwegian state may view its citizens as dependents who are draining its resources and becoming a burden. This perception could potentially lead to the state taking extreme measures to maintain its power and control over the population, akin to familycide in the context of "Misery."

Overall, the comparative analysis between the Norwegian welfare state and "Misery" highlights the potential for caregiver-citizen relationships to become strained and abusive when faced with financial strain, limited resources, and a history of eugenics practices. This serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of maintaining a balance of power and resources within a society to prevent such extreme scenarios from occurring.
