Humans are continously discovering new resources to exploit and becoming better at exploiting what we have. Like Oil and nuclear, which are relatively recent developments. We'll likely find more ways to extract energy and resources in the future. We are not doomed to deplete the earth and shit.

Trucks are a great example of a technological barrier. Electric trucks are heavier, carry less, have long charging times and have less reach than diesel. And any cost incurred by green regulation will be passed unto the customer. Its not viable at all to run a green economy with current technology. When tradesmen have to pay for permits or have to replace their old vans to ride inner city they will bill clients the differences. I'd be careful with green policy if people start associating it with increased costs. People might start calling you elitist.

We in general have an issue with differing political views due to being more atomized now, both left and right. Everyone's a snowflake and Americans are the worst right now.

Don't let winning an argument ruin your relationships. It doesn't matter all that much at the end of the day. Thanks giving is once a year. You are adult enough to not give a shit what old crones say.

If alcohol was invented today it would probably be illegal. It's one of the few drug where addiction is physically dangerous to oneself. It's literally poison.

This sounds like bs, sorry. You clearly have an ideological view of humanity.

With AI you have to generate a bunch and then choose the best output. Literally throwing shit at a wall till something sticks. Its probably gotten better at throwing shit but fundamentally you don't have fine particular control over the process. There's little point in it if you have a particular vision, which is why I tend to suspect that AI bros aren't all that artistic in the first place. If you want to make art, why outsource?

They should make makeup that turns blue when your drugged. That way everone can tell something's wrong. Because your blue in the face.

There are pros and cons to government run stuff. It can be decent though.

I mean tribals did invent all of that. They are the predecessors of every empire and idustrial complex. Tribals only have issues with these things when it threatens their survival. They don't personally have issues with genocide, slavery, racism, rape, infanticide, conquest, torture, etc. This notion of the "noble savage" is a utopian fantasy by urban people who feel estranged by the modern world. Its only tribes too isolated to societally evolve which remain as stage purple hunter-gathers. The rest of humanity turned into what we have today.

Leo should integrate Instagram into the blog and forum like with YT videos atp. Its every day now. I'm tired of links bro.

The fact that rights are imaginary has always been kinda obvious to me. Rights mean nothing without enforcement. It all boils down violence, which these same leftist ironically also take for granted. No one is getting arrested for rape without squads of policemen with guns and tasers at the ready. I think what they miss is that evils feels good. That's why people do it. Ted Bundy is doing it for the love of the game 100%. As do any rapist or fraudster. Even something as trivial as speeding. People love to go faster and cut in line. Its fundamental to our nature to be evil and selfish, some more than others, which is unsettling. All throughout history we have invented rules to shackle ourselves to tame our most destructive tendencies. Lefties got it backwards. You don't necesarilly start good.

You can be as hippie as you want. Won't make a difference against industrial warfare. And you need to attuned to nature if your a hunter-gatherer. Otherwise you'll die. This romantizing of tribal people is so silly and lame. A tribal person wouldn't hesitate raping your mother. The idea that that's bad is a modern concept. The Spanish didn't sue for peace as much as they bought them out and made them assimilate. If they where truly strong they wouldn't need to assimilate into an invaders society. Still better than getting quarrelled though. The geography was on their side. Winning a couple battles doesn't change whether or not you are losing strategically.

I like this idea because the incentives are more aligned. Commercial dating services have to be run like gambling services when user growth plateaus, where the anticipation of reward keeps you going for a low chance of actual reward. If they actually where effective at hooking you up they would lose customers. Government run services don't have to be profitable. They can be run for the public good alone. It goes to show that certain kinds of service are incompatible with business, which matchmaking is in my opinion. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cqzjzr893yv4o

Life purpose is about feeding your muse. IQ might only limit what your good at, which is assuming your actually have low IQ and your not just putting yourself down due low self-esteem. If you have that spark of ambition, why not just see what you can do with it? You can always just get a job.
