Because tools can be picked up by anyone, even shiny new ones and we see very clearly who in the world has the power to pick up these tools and the kinds of things they tend to do with them.

Cause it doesn't really make a difference. Any "meaning of life" you can come up with is going to be just as relevant if we are in a simulation or a hologram or part of a multi-verse or anything else

Are you sure about buying local? Seems like that depends on where you live. If you live in the desert southwest, buying from a local farmer who is consuming precious water to grow your strawberries is likely a lot more wasteful than buying South American strawberries shipped in.

Our brain thoughts are mapped the same way as in a AI model, to some degree. Crazy

Have less children. Children leave huge carbon footprints.

20% of new cars sold in California are EVs. So far it’s been pretty smooth. In Norway it’s 80% EV. No major breaking points have been identified so far.

Do you understand what a tipping point is? It’s a permanent change that can’t be reversed - ie, the “it’s too late” claim. So what’s your evidence that there are climate changes that can’t be reversed if we move from 1.5 to 1.6?

Well I mean, look around at how all current and even old technology is and has been used

Ugh… It would be like a crappier version of Total Recall… “You dreamt of killing your wife! You’re going to jail!”

For someone who really hates saying it, you seem to get a lot of enjoyment out of saying it.

And these specially “lethal” equipped military versions. Produced in automated factories powered by it. 4 movies and we learn nothing. Just look at what those “dum” drones have archived in Ukraine in the past months.

And so begins the start of Skynet. How long will it take to work the maths to figure out what is the one main enemy to its future. Posting for a friend

There’s really no way to know, though. When a great painter is “in the zone,” they might well be experiencing a mode of consciousness that is unavailable to others. Not just a different experience, but perhaps a completely different way of existing. But they would never know, because to them it’s normal and they assume everyone else feels the same.
A smaller example might be self-talk. Most people apparently have a voice in their head. But some do not. I don’t, actually, and don’t understand how people who do can live a normal life that way.

Dude, in person tournaments are the only thing that anyone should take seriously. I would never bet money on a virtual anything.

It’s not about being special, it’s about being meaningful. Why suffer through pain, depression or loneliness if you know you’re actually just living in someone else’s video game?
