How would you explain the disconnect between German WW2 sympathizers who sold out their fellow humans, and those in that society who found the practice so deplorable they hid Jews in their own homes? There’s a large disconnect between these

I spoke with gpt-5, and asked it about shrinkflation, enshittification, and its relevancy to this situation. I think Hacker News will agree with gpt-5s findings. > Do you understand what shrinkflation is? Do you understand the relation

The power of a system does not lie within its mechanisms, systems, and strategies. The power of a system allows one -near infinite- ability to create and manipulate those mechanisms, systems, and strategies. The most powerful systems have f

You jest, but the US Department of Defense already created SkyNet. It does, almost, exactly what the movies claimed it could do. The, super-fun, people working in national defense watched Terminator and instead of taking the story as a caut

Not OP, but… Asking Google about one watt lasers inevitably produces junk that does not address the question at all. Sifting and sorting through that junk is tiresome. AI provides a succinct answer with as much depth is requested and can fu

With radiation half lives what they are, our society should be brainstorming how to segregate and mark nuclear waste storage areas. All areas that store radioactive waste. Without clear warnings and boundaries humanity is just waiting for

One of my favorite dialogs is from the pilot: Ted Crisp: We do everything: industrial products, biomedical, cryogenics, defense technology. Veronica Palmer: We want to weaponize a pumpkin. Ted Crisp: Then so do I. Because? Veronica Palmer:

I believe this is the simplest and most succinct answer given the current anti monopoly climate the courts and prosecutors have.

Bribing a driver in order to receive an order accurately seems archaic. I’ll drive there myself, thanks. My pup gets a ride. The apps get the finger. The drivers get what they deserve. Wins all around.

I believe there is thorough, observable, evidence to suggest that consciousness is manifest exclusively through the brain. Persons with damaged brains have damaged consciousness. Persons with underdeveloped brains have underdeveloped consc

Removal of occupants from West Bank and Gaza, completely, was always the overall goal here. Israel doesn't seem to care overly much how this occurs, but they're making it happen. The goal is almost reached. There will be no Pale

Tinder, however, is a kindling for a fire. Love is a blaze. I believe the metaphor is succinct.

Ben Bova wrote a book: "Welcome to Moonbase." I purchased that as a kid, in a souvenir shop, on our way out of Cape Canaveral. We were there specifically to see the Space Shuttle slow-crawl to it's launchpad destination. I

I don't believe you understand the word iteration, why that word exists, or the benefits it provides to society in general.

That philosophy has some lingering halitosis of truth to it. Any inspection of any economy suggests otherwise. How many tire manufacturers are out there? How many different brands, styles, and types of tire? How many total US Dollars per

Exploration, especially space exploration, has only ever come with military advantages. If one could interest military agencies that the exploration was in their best interests we could see a space-revival of sorts. That would only last f

“There are several sample applications included which demonstrate what it is capable of.” This was the mantra of BeOs. Here’s a technology preview. Watch videos on a cube, now a sphere! The OS was sold as a technology preview that was eas

People do kind of worship at Trump's feet. The actual anti-christ is going to have a high priest that performs miracles in his presence. Like magic tricks but more real. The anti-christ is also going to receive a mortal head wound a

Matthew 24:4-31 describes -the exact- method of His return. The description is very much like an alien force deceleration within our solar system, and arriving en masse. It'll be noticeable worldwide. Read this and tell me if there&#

You are conflating a localized source of photonic emission with light. Light is an electromagnetic field that permeates everything in and through. Without the field first there are no photons, there is no physics, no gravity. God claimed t

I believe it's a shame that the drippings do not create the basis of a mantle-stalagmite. That would be a neat feature to study. 'Our continent keeps on dripping, dripping, dripping, into the mantle...' Doo-doo dah doo-doo.

There is an ancient text that predicts every body of water becoming like blood. There is an algae that flourishes in warm water that almost solidifies water into a reddish goop. That goop is much like blood. We, society, are making this ha
