For real though. The more we learn about nature, the more of a tragedy it is what we're doing to the planet.

This has blown my mind. The article makes the point that they achieve this sentience with only 1 million neurons! This is so nuts.

Agreed. Capitalism is interested in developing things that help capitalism acquire. Look to the pharmaceutical monstrosities in the US and see what they put their money into. Non- curative solutions that improve quality of life for chronic diseases. A truly free science might have solved a lot of these problems if funding weren't so selective.

Burn it all haha.

Thanks for this well thought out post. Given me a lot to think on. This was a substanial work, so genuinely thank you for taking the time.

Agreed on necessity. I just mean, would having such a federated society allow for that kind of thing at all, or would it put an upward limit on how far society could go? I mean it's all speculation I guess. Thanks for answering.

Question from someone uninformed on anarchism. How would an anarchist society do something huge, like for example get to the moon. It seems like that requires an intense pooling of resources and a level of coordination accross multiple industries, scientific disciplines, manufacturing techniques, etc.

Clearly bad faith? Curious what you mean.

Right, but that involves you holding the definition of bigotry as objective truth. You don't think that anyone can have a good faith contrarian opinion to your values? I mean, life is complicated. People are complicated and come from a bunch of different communities or backgrounds. Do you think they should just bow down before your assessment, or do you think there should be some wiggle room to convince people of your ideas.

I mean, serious question. Is the goal to produce a pure echo chamber where no dissent arises? How far does this go. It seems like the end result of this is 5-10 large groups of peeps who have "aligned values" that can endlessly reinforce each other. I have a MAGA chud relative that spouts all kinds of nonsense. Is the best thing to literally exorcise this person from my life? I don't know that a lot of identity driven silos is really all that healthy either.

Yes people should be safe, but that doesn't necessarily imply that no one EVER disagrees with them does it?

I know 2 people, completely separate and accross the country from each other that have wrecked due to autopilot failures or errors or whatever. I know this is ultimately anecdotal, but it really seems like Tesla isn't putting up pretty good numbers given my horizon.

You can always get a new Chromecast (we were forced to as the ancient bullet proof one told us to "fuck off, I want to die"). The new one has a remote control and apps, which I always thought were missing from the minimalist Chromecast family of products. So look at us, now we have a shitty roku when all we wanted was a device that I could send things to from my phone. Needed and wanted nothing more, but I got it. My tone is muddled here, so I'll make it clear that it's worse than it used to be, and I'm annoyed I was forced to pay to downgrade.

"Holy shit this femboy has great legs" said I to my wife.❤️
