That could be, but you should also be aware that many people will have the knee jerk reaction to reject statements like yours as being paranoid and delusional. Assuredly sometimes that is an appropriate response, but the drive to immediatel

I've read their tweet: https://x.com/PalantirTech/status/2045574398573453312 It's hard to take them seriously given the omission of the biggest catastrophe of the 2000s-2020s that underlies everything th

The best liquor I ever had was by a state police detective who had been home distilling since he was 12. It was made from rye and corn, but tasted like peaches. I think it is kind of magical to witness the process. I only experimented a few

Thanks for sharing your comment. I was skeptical about your claim that black mold would be a consequence of living near a distillery, but in fact, it is. It is called Whiskey Fungus and is related to the aging of the spirits. https:/&

Neat idea, but that sounds like it would eventually become weaponized if built; not only by using the energy beams destructively, but by choosing who does and who does not get power. One thing that has become glaringly obvious over the last

I don’t have kids, but suggested something years ago to my siblings when they started confronting similar issues: we should do a version of “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” for personal computers. Kids should start off with Commodore 64s,

Top-notch philosophical argumentation. All of your rare, educated and informed opinions really shine.

> That was never a question You originally made the statement that "Hegel is irrelevant in the age of measurement", to which I objected. Unless you're going to back pedal further, you did find studying Hegel questionable.

I don’t want to punch down, but that comes across a lot like trump saying he has the biggest words. You may not have the time or inclination, but there is a lot to learn from studying Hegel and the history of philosophy. No ‘measurement’ is

> Hegel is irrelevant in the age of measurement That’s bs. Even just the preface to Phenomenology of Spirit is chock full of ideas that folks would be better off if they contemplated. Hegel can be considered a visual thinker (or visionar

Saying “he conned us” is easier for people to accept than being introspective, taking responsibility and experiencing ego dissolution.

That’s an interesting idea. I think the fiber optics for drones works because it is only used once over a short period of time. It seems like a cable connected to a mine could be easily disrupted by dragging an anchor with a small robot boa

Please apply your thoughts to Israel then. Israel is the greatest destabilizing force in the middle east. From Gaza, to false flags in Iran, Saudi Arabia and who knows where else.

But effectively, that means no empathy. Both Musk and you (explaining Musk) have set it up in such an extreme way that it makes it appear as if empathy is bad and there’s really nothing you should do. Short of lighting yourself on fire, you

Your comments make it clear that you are a propagandist and maybe even a bot. I assume that you can comprehend English, but are choosing to be obtuse. If that is not the case, and you still cannot understand the warnings, ask Claude or some

Interesting that you equate having time for sport, contemplation and art as wanking off. I suppose you have your priorities.

Then UBI. This is a failure of our economy, which creates perverse incentives. Clean air, clean water, good food, plentiful housing, and opportunities for sport, contemplation and art are the things we need, but our economy incentivizes peo

The irony is that it’s happening in Iran, the home of Zoroastarianism, which is the religion that Judaism and Christianity ripped off about the messiah, heaven, hell and the apocalyptic battle at the end of time (amongst other things)

It is refreshing to hear someone mention that when discussing the printing press (however horrible it is). Most people only paint a rosy picture.
