Yes but also include accountability in the boardroom. If illegal things happen, a human needs to see court, not a company. Let the "risk takers" actually take on risk.

Isn't the entire endgoal of studying medicine and biology to make humans live "closer to forever"? Aren't we working toward expanding human lifespan till we either hit a hard ceiling or approach infinity?

That's exactly it. These people were not disillusioned with the whole world, just their political party.

Implying that AI is going to make everyone not adopting it irrelevant is exactly why people resist it. You're not only participating in Rocco's Basilisk, you're even shit talking for it.

That's not vague at all? Emotions aren't easily indexed quantitatively because there's a large variance in affect and expression of affect in different people. I understood what he was saying as "If you don't remain

This is a pretty poor take. Everyone knows that it's easier to maintain fitness/muscle than build it. The same is true with money, it's much easier to coast or make moves financially when you have headroom. There's a typ

It's like you took a coherent and reasonable comment and added the words "H1B", and "DEI". It's just nepotism in different flavors, all the way down.

Every step towards understanding subatomic physics is a step towards cold fusion. The second we're able to understand and capture this energy, money literally doesn't exist. Infinite energy means infinite free energy, which would

For the last time, we cannot claim that states are "models" for schooling when they are a racist tax vacuum. No, I don't care about marginally improved learning outcomes because the means do not justify the ends ever. That&#x
