I judge by our general inability to explain most of our intuitive decisions (intuition is basically trained pattern recognition neural network without reflection, much like artificial ML). A great sports player often makes a lousy coach. Th

Do you know this saying "those who don't know their history are doomed to repeat it". You're that saying. Also "war" is the thing that happens between parties above which no legal frame or enforcement instituti

I prefer a subset of people who can beat me up for a subset of reasons, rather than all people for any reason.

Technically no one dies of old age. Old age is a contributive factor, and a significant one, but not a cause. Rather, we as a society, just give up on them at a certain age, and decide reasons don't matter.

Judging from the downvotes, a good portion failed at thinking about it. Answer: In the 20th century, we commonly expressed the year by its last two digits, you know this is why we talk about "70s", "80s", "90s"

This kind of thinking makes a nice sci-fi flick but not a good predictor of reality. Just the pandemic should've given you a hint that people at large don't like being confined to their homes and living in a virtual world. You

I’m confused what you want research about. That death and new generations enable our much faster social evolution and inherently improves the bus factor of all our systems? Do you need research to see this?

Social behavior shows that what you consider “local” varies in scale. And that scale often is beyond the individual.

So the big problem in your opinion, is that we're not allowed to legally beat each other up like animals over property disputes. All right. By the way, I don't think blockchains allow you to beat up people, either.

Let's get couple of things straight: 1. Politicians are responsible for the laws. 2. Companies are responsible for following the laws. If you have a beef with any of the above, address the right parties. How they interact and depend on

You write laws and tell companies to follow strictly the letter of the law or else. And that's precisely what they do. The problem doesn't sit at the companies.

More reflection, sure. Experience. Humility. But also less hormones. Young people are hormone-driven action-reaction machines.
