The rest of the world is entitled to opinions about what the ADF is being used for. If you think this is the point of the military then we just have two very different opinions about what it says about a governments ability to manage the me

they are being used to enforce something you might think is appropriate, but something huge parts of the world including many Australians don’t think there is a moral basis for which is in part why they have to use the military. So you and

Of course the military is used for other means. This time just isn't one of them and thus my point still stands. When you have to use military to enforce your policies you've lost the plot it's really that simple.

They are a proven tool if you want to isolate yourself from the rest of the world yes and live on an island so you can. They are not a proven tool for actually dealing with the endemic nature of this virus. Australia will realize sooner or

If you have to deploy your military on your citizens you have in fact ventured way beyond into the extreme.

Australia has lost the plot a long time ago. This is not the way to solve a pandemic. It is however a way to make your society much more fragile.

coal is all the things you are saying but its saved way more people than it have killed.

99.999% of all species ever existed was wiped out by the climate way before we arrived. That's always a danger as nature doesn't care about us. The way we combat that is not to minimize our impact on the planet but maximize it by

The climate has wiped out 99.999% of all other species. We are the first who have a chance to avoid being part of that statistic. Not by minimizing our impact on the planet but by maximizing it through climate mastery. Human civilization ha

Climate change isn't en existential risk, the way we deal with it is developing new knowledge which as a by product allow us to go to the moon or mars. Furthermore there is a whole other perspective on space which is military and inclu

You are assuming we know all the problems we might encounter. We don't, in fact there are many ways the human species can go extinct that are not fault of our own. The best we can do is to create general knowledge which allow us to bet

What do you need for computation?

by ThomPete 5y ago
the difference is that with computers we have ai and with modern forms of energy we have machines and knowledge previous generations couldnt even think about.

almost a billion people dont have reliable access to energy a large part of them dont have any at all

History is not littered with civilizations that got universal computation and computers to execute them. Again there is no certainty in life, but to say that this civilization is not very different than others before it is in my view ahisto

by ThomPete 5y ago
This civilization IS different. Not in any magical way just simply in the fact that we are the first who through our combination of wealth and knowledge-creation and with the help of technology and science have the potential of solving the

How are you going to find out?

by ThomPete 5y ago
That's not the reasoning. The reasoning is that climate kills with or without humans.

by ThomPete 5y ago
99.999% of all species ever existed are extinct today. Climate is always affecting nature, we are the first species who have a chance of not joining that statistics.

A fusion world is possible just not feasible for now just like a hybrid world isn't either. There is simply no reality based fact that indicate we can solve our transportation issues with electricity.

He was against it because of what it would lead to which is what we see here.

I mean that we don't want to live in a world where the current battery technology is going to power our car fleet. That's going to be a disaster.

Jordan Peterson predicted this which is one of the reasons he was so against Bill C-16

I surely don't hope it's inevitable unless the come up with better fuelcell solutions.

Electricity is less than 20% of their countrys energy plus they are well positioned for hydro which is only possible certain places.

No science is about truth. It's about falsifying claims through the process. However I agree with what you are saying about China.
327.
by ThomPete 5y ago
It guarantees more access to training data which is crucial for development of any superiority when it comes to applied AI. The US still have a better academic culture but the chinese are catching up. Nothing is inevitable.

by ThomPete 5y ago
thats a different discussion. Parents point is that because CCP runs things the way they do, the access to otherwise hard to find datasets in the west, they will be better able to train their AIs. Not saying whether i agree or not just clar
