Of course I have a problem with capitalism! But I don't believe that society chose all those things (branded cereal madness, etc), I think it was more or less thrust on them. That people seem more interested in getting ahead and pleas

Advertising at children should be banned. Parents should consider it no less than predatory, and act accordingly. Children can't consent to all the psycho-behavioral research and artfully composed subliminal content a modern advertisem

that's a great arxiv translation, a model for ML elucidation re: Transformers, see also: https://towardsdatascience.com/the-fall-of-rnn-lstm-2d1594c7... which suggests that Transformers have been supplanted by simple c

If it was a large hollow body, then it would have particular resonant frequencies. Is there such a thing as a resonance sail? Total speculation, but I think such a thing would work the opposite of a lightsail, in that it would tend to go

A biscuit! Breakfast 4 carbon credits... I saw a nanofilter that could remove salt from water. If you can puncture a material with ultra-violet lasers, the holes might be the right size to filter carbon; that is my guess, based on these

Energy is needed to separate CO2 into carbon and oxygen. At the individual molecular scale, this can't be much. How many can I separate at once with my hands? If we invent a device that helps us to physically separate oxygen from carbo

Nobody said being wealthy is wrong. It was stated the system is unethical that allows one to die on the street with nothing, and another to possess all, where enough is available for everybody. We don't have to take food from somebody

The game isn't saying we should ask the rich to solve our problems. The game implies a system is fucked that allows one person to own a seemingly infinite sum, and leave others to suffer and die on the street. I think this is a fair
