Sure, but the natural next step after ultraprocessed is highly refined products like sugar and flour, which I know is so much of people's current diet but that's why everyone has health problems.

It should also include hilghly refined processes, which I guess still boils down to the ingredients, however things like refined sugar and refined carbs are very harmful and IMHO the main dietary problem for most people.

But nobody uses industrial chemicals and processes at home. That said, I would consider refined sugar as ultraprocessed, and homemade jam includes a lot of it.

I don't think "reshape" is the right word. This is the natural evolution of video games (at least a subclass of them). Many games already have RNG systems for generating levels and AI enemies, so this is just extending it to

I'm saying SF tried the system hypothesis and is failing. Also not just SF but most large cities. So yes, they need to factor in the human component which is incentives and intentions.

The point of having a child is not just for society, it's for your own personal benefit of passing on your genes. If you don't want to pass on your genes then don't reproduce. Also, if society pays people for their children,

Part of the issue is that people do not see the same problem, even thought the same phenomena is being observed. Probably the first step is for everyone to agree on what the problem is to begin with. In places like SF, the problem is the sy

If women hold the entire species hostage, we can imagine what men could do to prevent that. Having a child is basically making a copy of your genes which is its own reward.

I think that's missing the point. If people don't reproduce, society dies out. That said there are enough people to allow for this to be an option... except in totalitarian societies which have more interest in power than in progr

AI is software, and until it becomes AGI by improving itself there is going to be a need for software developers. This isn't the case for most other industries that will be impacted in a more substantial way by either transforming them

Freewill is a semantic discussion. It either exists or it doesn't depending on what exactly we're talking about. That said, it is tangential to moral and ethical considerations. For example, we consider animals to be controlled by

It's not though. You can grab a group of friends, buy some land and start a commune. It is perfectly compatible with local-level socialism. Nobody forces anyone to be a consumer. Now of course you have to work... but choosing not work
