But no one believes simulation theory on faith so it makes no sense

France is painfully misogynistic and at least thirty years behind the rest of the world in respect for consent, just because they chopped some heads off once sadly doesn't mean they stayed woke
Will humanity ever stop repeating tired old jokes from monty python and Douglas Adams?
If yes I can die happy that things get better, if no I can welcome oblivion with joy
That's clearly not what I'm saying, I'm saying that supplying aid to Palestine is not the same as proping up Hamas so blaming Israel for their existence is absurd
So being successful when everyone is trying to kill you makes them bad but rich countries like Iran failing repeatedly to complete the genocides they fund makes them loveable roagues who can do no wrong?
You'll excuse me if I don't subscribe to your philosophy of life.
I do various things and all of them I also do free to help my friends or people in need.
I really don't think they want actual science or logic, this is the five minute hate for the day.
I think it really boils down to capitalism being really bad at things like this, look at the UKs high-speed rail project - hugely over budget and behind schedule AND not getting any of the important bits that actually make it usable. There's no way we could do anything actually cool like a passenger vacuum tube.
I was actually a little excited by some of the stuff musk was saying back in the boring company days because it briefly sounded like he was investing money in technologies that would be huge, narrow bore vaccum tunnels especially... Sadly I think he didn't really understand the science fiction he was reading, or rather he didn't get the importance of intermediary steps. Or he remembered me owns a car company.
What would make a huge difference in reducing vehicles on the road is rapid hands free cargo delivery through automated vacuum tunnels - but he wanted to skip micro tunnels and instead just go to ever so slightly smaller tunnels which is basically pointless. We needed a totally new boring technology not a slightly shrunk one, it should be doing city infrastructure and micro cargo transit then when we've perfected the mechanisms we can scale up into passenger sized networks to complement the developing passenger rail system (which rapid micro transit would really help as the need for cargo transit is the main reason that stops the subway being feasible for certain people)
Just because Capitalism has made you a monster doesn't mean we all must be beasts.
Ok I can agree on principle but in practice you unfortunately need to have alternative systems in place first to deal with the realities of the problem.
Take the guy I used to work with who went to prison for scamming old ladies out of money, if we don't have mechanisms to deal with people like him then it won't take long before everyone is demanding we bring back prisons
Yeah the UK police do a test that can tell if the THC in your blood is still active, it still over measures a bit but can tell the difference between someone smoking a bit the night before and having had one before work in the morning or in the lunch break.
You really don't know what you're talking about though, this is an often repeated talking point which comes from pretty much nothing, do you have any evidence for it or did you half read a headline in a meme post without realising the argument being made is 'by allowing aid into Gaza it's proping up Hamas' because that's where that 'funding Hamas' line actually comes from.
Israel don't let enough aid through and they're the bad guys, they let aid through and they're the bad guys - they don't have a cease fire and they're the bad guys, or they have a cease fire and fail to totally remove Hamas so again they're the bad guys...
Iran funds Hamas and sturs up trouble as a way of maintaining support at home and due to their fanatical religious ideals -that bit isn't even sightly complicated, you don't need conspiracy theories
This is a common confusion though when people say serfs worked only half the year that is working for their owner and doesn't include all the other work they need to do to live - to actually eat and have a basic life involved a lot of toil.
Of course not for rich people but that's never changed.
