That's the whole point, narcissist with botox cheeks gets a scary cartoon, generals and bureaucrats get mansions and hotels in europe, ordinary people get high dose of radiation. And no one cares how the cartoon relates to common sens

That seems to be the consensus on russian twitter. Would be strange if after stealing everything that was possible Putin and his party of crooks and thieves would manage to create actual nuclear propulsion rocket, instead of animated carto

I am confused, According to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualism_(economic_theory) mutalism does not advocate for social ownership of the means of production, so it's not what you meant in the previou

This idea works very well, as long as it is applied to a tiny group of people who know each other well (one family). With larger groups it doesn't work at all because of game theory. The people who work hard to build better "mean

Losing physical work won't be detrimental, it's something no one likes and no one is particularly good at, losing creative work would be but it doesn't look like we are particularly close to creating ai, and when we create it

If by "socialism" you mean government owning all the robots, deciding what to build, and how much everyone should get, then the majority of people will not get good life. (we'd be lucky if people don't forget how to buil

One of his ideas that i like the most is the cloud nine, mile wide sphere that floats using only a small difference in air temperature. It seems impractical and not very useful until you realize it is a perfect tool for weather manipulation

You said that you think it is adequate, but you didn't say why you think that. I do not think that my personal, or anyone else's thoughts are universal or infallible, but i think it is possible to find common understanding using l

Not by being mean, but by exaggerating the scale of expected catastrophes, by talking about imminent doomsday, by demanding "moral" change in form of "eat less meat, do not fly, have less children" instead of investments

Is there ongoing research on methods to control weather on local level? Most suggestions i have seen are things that are meant to change the temperature of earth as a whole like build sunshade in L2 point, randomly spray aerosols to make it

Global government won't help with that. There are many countries with ongoing conflicts, that would continue between the people even if the governments were gone, and then planetary government would either have to send large number of

I am saying that any person who would use logic to analyze the proposed analogy and its consequences would see that it is absurd, independently from feelings and intuition. A normal reply to this would be a chain of arguments showing that i

I do not refuse to consider the analogy, after reading the article and all the comments here, i didn't find any logical ground for the analogy. Animistic religions believing that river has a spirit, or saying that river represents the

Absolutely agree, articles without data and without the sourcecode, are not science, and that's another reason why we need github for science.

by chr1 7y ago
The whole scientific publishing field is still stuck in previous century. We desperately need a github for science, where any reader would be a reviwer, who would be able to rate the article and comment on it, and then journals would use t

Corporations are groups of people that behave at least somewhat similar to people, nothing about rivers allows analogy to a person. E.g. do i harm a river when throw a bottle into it, or do i give her a toy to happily play with? It surely l

Not a good comparison because democratic states are consistently better than non-democratic ones, so we have evidence that democracy is an improvement compared to other methods.

The fact that nothing can propagate faster than light speed, allows to isolate segments of universe from one another. Of course you can not simulate the whole universe exactly, but simulating a part of it, like completely closed room, or a

There is a social penalty. If you try to burn garbage in your yard your neighbours will not allow it. But the price cannot be larger than life, so when it is freezing outside and there is nothing else to burn, they won't mind the smoke

Yes, despite the title, the articles has better arguments against superdeterminism than for it.

by chr1 7y ago
It is not that simple. Bell inequalities show that there cannot exist a local evaluation rule that could explain experiments with entangled particles where two people pick filters independently. Superdeterminism is saying that strictly spea

by chr1 7y ago
The determinism doesn't solve the problem, it makes the non-locality more visible because some people think that state of two particles far away influencing one another is somehow worse than the wave function in whole universe changing

by chr1 7y ago
What you describe is not superdeterminism, but a replay of a non local theory. The important part happens in the first run when you calculate the table. What superdeterminism says, is that there exists local and deterministic evaluation rul

There is also the fourth possibility that the physical space is not similar to euclidean space at short distances, and locality in euclidean space is not physical. In this case the entangled particles are actually linked with one another, a

There are many different ways to implement carbon tax. His proposal to replace other regulations with a small and uniform carbon tax, is bound to make both proponents and opponents of carbon tax unhappy (which may be a sign that it is a rea

If you want to better understand the argument take a look at Bjorn Lomborg's talks https://www.lomborg.com , basically the argument is that even the strictest regulations are going to have a very small effect on the climate

Before genetic modifications we should try cloning people (especially famous scientists) to see how much of IQ is genetic, and how is it affected by the environment.

Kurds have independent country only on part of their historic territory. Turkey being independent didn't hinder turks to take half of Cyprus where Turks were not even majority, unlike the territory claimed by Kurds, where Kurds are maj
