Reply to comment by nastratin in This “Climate-Friendly” Fuel Comes With an Astronomical Cancer Risk: Almost half of products cleared so far under the new federal biofuels program are not in fact biofuels — and the EPA acknowledges that the plastic-based ones may present an “unreasonable risk” to human health or the environment. by nastratin
we already went through this with leaded fuel

Intelligence is not correlated with morality or empathy. You're just as likely to get a smart psychopath.

I do. I believe we first need to sublimate the legal system by those who understand our fundamental drives as teleological absurdities of consciousness castrated from the implications of our indifferent physical reality. That is Economics guided by Existentialism. Where understanding of the teleology of humankind is given to the science of the will of humankind. Put it into an AI, or let a person do it, or whatever you please. But just let it be.

Same, my Roborock is great. I would put on par with a dishwasher in terms of chore automation.

10 years to do a chore? That doesn't seem very efficient.

Reply to Opinion: Mining on the moon is no longer a loony idea, and Canada can capitalize on it by Gari_305
It's not a loony idea that it could happen, but it is a loony idea that anyone other than billionaires would benefit from it

There is an argument to be made that humans evolved doing physical activity and to expect your body to be healthy and function properly without physical activity is ridiculous, yet many people completely ignore it and wonder why they don't feel healthy (specifically mentally). It's not that odd of a statement to make.

Because humans will never get past what makes humans human. There will always be corruption, greed, bigotry, selfishness, lack of empathy, and narcissism. What makes someone or a group "intellectuals"? We may have different opinions about that

I read everything you wrote and I appreciate the thought out response. I don't really know what to say in response unfortunately. I've just been having a really hard time seeing any positivity for a really long time. I'm sorry if I was rude or mean in my original comment.

In what way would having the world be ruled by a group of people who are unelected, immovable and blindly trusted, not lead to corruption?

Can't help but think the Tower of Babel is a fitting parable to get aquainted with if you are going to game out this idea. Not from a religious point of view, but from the point of view of cultural equity and unification... I'm not sure you can accomplish what you are proposing while keeping cultural distinctions intact. Then again, never been done before, so who knows?

I don’t think Mark was ever a genius. Facebook was a stolen idea created by him and a number of other people, almost all of whom he later fucked over. Like most billionaire “innovators” he really just got lucky.

Ships and ports are ripe for operation without humans — but only if the maritime industry can work through the practical, legal and economic implications first.

I think the world (you and the rest of everyone on this planet) have the capability to put aside the mundane differences we have among ourselves to come together
