Sorry. Six seats. Driver included. Though I have had 8 in mine before.

>Yeah... because it's not about him.

lol, nah, that book was TOTALLY about him, or more specifically, his dumbass incel prejudices.

I'm familiar with 4chan fanfiction, and that's what the Book of Revelation comes off as. A revenge fantasy from some maladjusted manchild seething how the Romans pantsed him in front of that cute teenager.

Exactly, why specify if it doesn't exist

Yeah... because it's not about him. He wrote what he saw and was told. His personal failings, if any, simply make him human.

You can judge him. The way you do that leads me to believe that you're a liberal, condemning people on one hand while preaching tolerance for other people to follow.

If he was an incel, a stoner, or even gay, would that make him less credible?

That really depends on politics. Im hedging my bets right now. Considering that im planning to settle in EU.

Yeah but net zero doesn't solve the issue we're having, right? I thought we've crossed whatever threshold there was for limiting carbon emissions and we've got to remove carbon from the atmosphere than just stop putting out more.

Also in more concerned that it'll be the same fate as similar programs where it's just used by corporations to greenwash their business while not putting any actual effort to reduce the waste they out out into the world.

That wouldn’t be viable for the same reason that animals don’t have chloroplasts. It would take more energy to carry them around than they could possibly produce, which is why plants are sedentary.

On the contrary. Such a scenario is why I say that AI might be the only way out of our ongoing dystopia.

Warfare will be fought via cyberwarfare by way of drones. The unaugmented gamers will obliterate the cyborgs and eugenicists in a military conflict. The augmented gamers might have adaptations that allow them to exploit the AI tech slightly more conveniently than the unaugmented gamers, but the sheer crush in population will render those advantages moot.

Imagine you had a magic lamp with an all-powerful genie with three wishes in it and you were up against SkyNet. SkyNET has access to all of the resources of the planet, along with its own all-powerful genie with three wishes.

In a head-to-head conflict, I'd still give it to SkyNET. However, if there were two of me, I'd easily crush SkyNET, especially if one of our wishes was 'I wish we and any potential allies knew exactly what to use our wishes for to defeat a SkyNET also armed with a magic lamp'.

That's literally what net zero is though isn't it?

I’ve seen this one.

We need to overload the heatsink device with a second subspace bridge or we’ll freeze the earth.

The following submission statement was provided by /u/chrisdh79:

From the article: This week, Denmark inaugurated the world's first national project to bury CO2 from abroad and bury it deep beneath the ocean.

The Nordic country is administering a so-called CO2 graveyard where it will bury CO2 roughly 5,900 feet (1,800 meters) beneath the North Sea.

The new initiative, called the "Greensand" project, is led by British chemical giant Ineos and German oil company Wintershall Dea. It's part of a wider plan to prevent the release of CO2 into the atmosphere in order to attempt to stave off the worst effects of climate change.

The Greensand project is one of many carbon capture and storage (CSS) projects in the works around the world. It will aim to store up to eight million tonnes of CO2 per year by 2030 to help fight climate change. As EuroNews points out in a report, roughly 30 CSS projects are currently operational or in development throughout Europe.

What sets the Greensand project apart from other similar initiatives is the fact that Denmark is importing CO2 from abroad for its CSS project, making it the first country to do so.

The CO2 is first captured at the source and then liquefied before being transported by ship. However, the project may use pipelines in the future.

The new project "will help us reach our climate goals, and since our subsoil contains a storage potential far larger than our own emissions, we are able to store carbon from other countries as well," explained Climate Minister Lars Aagaard.

Danish authorities, who aim to reach carbon neutrality by around 2045, say the new initiative is "a much-needed tool in our climate toolkit."

It's worth noting that, though the Greensand project could store millions of tonnes of CO2, it will form part of a much larger global effort required to avert the climate crisis.

the key to a fulfilling life with all this advancement will be us hacking our own visceral dials to give us new sensations and motives we have yet to experience or have something drugs attempt to get at, sloppily sort of like what games try to do, hack our impulses but they can only hack what's already there we'll be able to hack our system itself cure all depression and existential dread to give us visceral systems adjusted for longer or even immortal life we won't have deminishing marginal return as we have now some of our instincts we have our there because we are mortal those can be hacked and altered for the purpose of longer life i expect we'll develop and exeperience more advanced perception more advanced and more senses we can edit out or not experience any form of depression existential dread wondering what the point of life is replaced with new feelings and sense of priorities that aren't painful that still propel us to act that are adjusted for immortal life what constitutes meaning and fulfillment in life of an immortal person that has a wiring of knowing it is immortal will be very different from what humans experience our set of internal experiences will be much different our sense of time how we experience the package of time will be different we will likely experience time dialation where time feels like it goes by faster a year feels like a second or perhaps we'll stop experiencing the passage of time and be completely immersed in present existence experiencing all time past present and future at once almost like an animal, animals that live 100's of years don't question being alive

I like that you think wars will be fought with cyborgs vs. eugenics instead of through cyber security

Seems like a cool idea but I feel like it'll just be used to offset future carbon emissions that reduce what we're currently putting out

I know that some education systems in the world are trash, but sometimes good ones have you do things to teach you skills, not just learn how to repeat a process.

>If it does not have a research or pratical purpose - why add it ?

They were tasked with creating a carbon neutral car. That's one of the things they did to get there.

John, the bloodthirsty moron who wrote the Book of Revelation, was an sociopathic incel stoner whom even Diogeneses would think was annoying.

And yet, so many people treat that loon's Biblican horror fanfiction as some kind of revelation.

The problem is not individual choice of transport, but rather lack of infrastructure and willingness to pay and vote for politicians that will provide said infrastructure. I don't want to pay for miles and miles of concrete wasteland near malls. I want mixed zoning laws for developers so I can get my bread in the same building I live in and all the other necessary stuff nearby.

Well, the world is drifting towards destruction just as it was prophesied. These are the last days.

in the last days [a]perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, [b]unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. 

AI will not be the destroyer or the savior.

It literally will not matter what country it comes from. In fact, our disordered international politics is a big reason why I think the future of AI will be towards democratization and decentralization. China or the USA or Russia or whoever won't be able to go: 'muahaha now I have a loyal hyperintelligence to command, kneel before me' because some random salaryman in Tokyo can go 'but I have one too'.

The trend with AI has been towards increased accessibility. Unsurprising, because consumerism can't really work without accessibility and iterative release. And unfortunately for the nation-states, but fortunately for human survival, they have to democratize the tools in order to keep up in the short term.

Our society can still end, I can think of a lot of ways for things to go wrong, but the classic AI doomsmongering of a hyperintelligence being or species deciding that humanity (or a portion of it) has outlived its usefulness doesn't look likely to happen. It'll be less like an ant going up against an elephant and more like a 10-year old Chess prodigy going up against Magnus Carlsen. And both of them have access to the same Stockfish chess engine.

Drought and massive sudden influxes desperate migrants are the big looming specters for both southern Europe and Australia.

Always did consider a few years of a stint in Mass or Maine. However the developments after 2016 are kind of putting me off that. I think I'll wait and see how the next election goes before giving my final verdict on the US.

They said non-plug in

Come to New England our standard of living rivals even Scandanavian countries.

I just hope we don't return to 1930s brainrot where everyone of non-Western European descent is automatically second-class or worse a drain on finite resources.
