Oh God Bottom line is, the solutions need to be more realistic. Game A, not Game B, because Game B does not exist in the political and business world. The solutions need to understand and accept the following realities: Oil consumption will not go down Meat eating will not stop Nukes will not go away AI will not go away Wall Street will not go away Capitalism will not end Socialism will not happen Tier 2 will not happen in our lifetime Consumer consumption and endless growth will not stop Now, invent practical solutions within those parameters. That would be a serious engagement with the matter.

@LordFall Please don't feed into this pervertry. Nothing is being proved here. We all know by now all these meme coins are worthless scams. This is not some revolutionary liberation technology. It's just pure pervertry.

In 12 days I lost about 10 pounds. Most folks got 10 pounds to spare.

@Shane Hanlon Systems will of course change, but they will not change from the theorizing and hand-wringing from Tier 2, Game B hippie intellectuals obessing over the end of mankind and telling us to consume less. I respect Schamatchenberger's intelligence very much, but if you zoom out and get real, his project is not going to change the course of society. It strikes me as out of touch with our political and development social reality. While he is obsessing over ecological collapse and game theory, fascist clowns are piloting the plane into a mountain. This Game B stuff sounds very wise and cool, but it is not how politics nor business works.

This is a great idea. I've done a 12 day water fast. It's challenging but doable.

It's a very ethically grey area. Hard to make sense of it. My biggest problem with it is the shamelessly greedy and morally bankrupt people who run these companies and the insane monopolization they all seek, all under the fig leaf of bettering mankind.

Human minds do it too, but the difference is the insane scale and monopolization and rapacious greed of these AI companies. Their whole existence is based on data theft and recombination for profit. It's theft on a giga-factory scale.

@Golem Watch your tongue.

Aye

Sure

Infinity/God/Consciousness is not a conceptual matter. It's more fundamental than perception.

I will make a video addressing how to cope with the harshness of life.

The only way I know is to suffer through the challenge and bear the cross of truth. Embrace the difficultly of life rather than looking for an escape from it.

By that measure Elon is God.

Nope, nope, nope. No chance of that.

Yes, that's the challenge of life.

@RendHeaven But then is there such a thing as objectively bad/ugly music? It's much easier to make a bad dish than a good one.

It's more than that though. People like really weird stuff like trashy heavy metal, awful rap, punk, dubstep, etc.

The shittiness of it transcends any kind of easy gratification. More like mental illness. It's like people who get botox lips and think it's beautiful.

Why do so many humans like such shitty music though???

What kind of music do aliens listen to? Contemplate!

Very cool. I once had a guy who worked for me who had perfect pitch. He was a natural musician. I was actually thinking of getting into making music, although I have zero experience. - - - - - The diversity of taste is indeed a mystery.

There is a medical disorder where people feel a burning need to pee but their bladder is already empty. So even peeing is not immune from self-deception. Nevermind all the New Age swill humans believe.

@Salvijus Good luck with that.
