   Thanks for commenting: I sort of agree, as this sort of feeds into my point. The 'meta-argument' I was making is that delivery requires coordination, and the more you deliver the more work it is. That's all well and good, but

   With full respect intended, I have to disagree. We already have several options available to massively curtail our emissions (solar, wind, hydro, geothermal). While yes new technology would make this transition even faster, a major, MAJOR r

   I think that any approach to climate change needs to actively monitor the motivations that a given country has to sabotage it. In that respect, I don't think that climate change is solved by 'just give the EV companies all the mon

   The climate crisis coalesces wealth inequality, war tension, national resources, economy, and a host of other pressing current issues. It is trivial to find the link to each of these topics. I mean this respectfully, but there is absolutely

   Thanks for responding. I can see your angle but I don't think I agree. I'll try to respond in good faith but let me know if I've made a misapprehension. In regards to the topic of user base alienation: I do think it is an imp

   So then is it less of a proof mechanism and more of a simulation one?

   The issue is twofold. The first issue is that like I originally mentioned, microtransactions disproportionately affect neurodivergent individuals because of the addictive mechanics used to implement them. The concept of 'whales' i

   This arguments premise is flawed. Cosmetics are not nearly that resource intensive to produce, so its not about 'wearing nice clothes' a-la real life, where good materials are more expensive to produce. Attaching a price tag is PU

    Great idea and I want to love it, but it is still far too slow and buggy. Someone else mentioned the blank space on the right and that is also an issue for me.

    Can you cite sources for your claims? I am personally doubtful of your comments around deaths being more frequent. Statistics around the specific cause of death would also be appreciated.

    Fix the information asymmetry in politics. It is significantly harder to find media coverage that contradicts the dominant narrative. Note that this does not mean considering conspiracy or obviously nonsense content - it means covering alte

    This is somewhat frustrating. I think everyone is interested in alternatives to IBM's offering, but putting it behind account sign-up makes it hostile to 'just checking it out'. I believe this is also why IBM allow some of th
