I mean, the OP was right, this is a totally Elon thing to do.

But why bury people's bodies at all? The whole purpose of cemeteries as physical spaces is to honor the deceased by literally sacrificing land in their memory. Without the sacrifice, why not just have virtual markers located around tow

You mentioned not subscribing to socialism or communism, but it's pretty obvious that you haven't deeply considered what a functional society ought to look like through any ideological lens. Commentors below have given great advic

Also, remember that, like an LLM, his conception of the world is flawed, because somebody fed him polluted facts in his original training data set (I think I remember that right, I haven't watched that movie in decades).

I think the other thing that is tied to the 1.0-2.0 evolution is that with increased user generated data (because of these uploads) the surveillance economy model for revenue exploded. In web 1.0 you really couldn't get enough informat

I'm not going to spend much time on your claims, but I agree with most of your critics here that they are not well formed. I'm a dad who decided with my partner to have our first kid, and then they turned out to be triplets. Just

"Surely there must be answers somewhere?" is just the sort of thing that somebody who values logical intelligences over other intelligences (i.e. HN readers) and who lives in a non-totalitarian state would say. It's possible

Agreed with H2odragon about moving away from the term "self sufficient". If you really want to go down the road of individual resilience, then their suggestions (and moving rural) are good ones. Another (and for the majority of fo

Another thing that hasn't been addressed completely below is the challenge of agriculture being an activity where investment needs to be made in large chunks, at somewhat unexpencted times. The OP question implies that homesteading is
