Yeah, conspiracy theories are definitely a more tricky subject than most people give it credit for. However, it is generally epistomologically safer to trust the version of truth as presented by the authorities (perceived ones or with perceived qualifications) and the mainstream rather than to doubt everything. Yeah you can do your own research on 9-11 and other conspiracies, but do you really trust yourself to posses enough intelectual and epistomological rigour in order for your conclusions to be really truthfull? And if they are really so true and the evidence is so undisputable, why wouldn't the general public be already aware of it, especially in this day and age where information are readily available? Like in the case of Epstein files that everyone is already aware of since the evidence is undisputable? I think that the odds are just stacked against you, as an individual, being more correct than the majority regarding conspiracy theories. And I'm only talking about the sociological/political kind of theories, I'm not even considering the woowoo ones that go completely against science. But when you start engaging with the more plausible conspiracy theories, suddenly you open the flood gates to all sorts of other crazy shit, which I what I think is the primary reason for the conspiracy theories not being accepted here. -

Never, and I genuinely don't think there's anything anyone could do to make me fight in a war. Genuinely any outcome is better than that -
At some point, you just gotta ask yourself if you're maybe retarded, right? Like, just think about that as an option, just to exercise your open mindedness. There's been relatively plenty attractive women at places where I worked, and there's genuinely nothing negative I can recall about them or their behaviour. Genuinely zero negative friction. You have to be retarded to think that

I wouldn't mind electric vehicle industry resurgence as a result of this to be honest, but the extended grid infrastructure needed to suport them as well as battery industry and power station infrastructure wouldn't just automatically build themselves in a day. That's why that would be much more of a long term solution, the more short term would be oil rationing, new laws to limit consumption, alternative oil transport routes, adapting to cruder oil alternatives and using gas. Hopefully all these companies employing white collar workers will stop demanding these annoying return-to-the-office policies; would be nice to stop pretending like it's something beneficial, usefull or neccesary -

Nope. Unless you can quickly electrify all your vehicles, aviation, shipping, heavy trucks etc. then nuclear energy is not going to make any meaningfull difference. Train can help a bit I suppose, but other than that France is cooked as well as rest of us. There are ways to bypass this issue though via various means tho, so it's moreso medium - medium rare level of being cooked -

Speak for yourself buddy. There's no way in hell I'm ever paying for pictures/videos and not call it a scam. Like, goddamn lmao -

It depends on how effective this US ground operation that's about to unfold is going to be. But I doubt this war is gonna last years. There's not enough political capital in the US to make it continue and resources and money are being burnt throught way too fast. All of these operations are meant to be knockout blows, which they really are to a certain extent. This will probably turn into a cold war scenario, with either Iran or the US having the control over the flow of oil in the Persian gulf and the Strait of Hormuz. Which side it's gonna be is hard to predict. US can't back out of this one, there's just way too much at stake, so regardless of the level of administration's competence. US military cannot actually yeld and pull out of this one -

It's never been a better time to be a small, self-sustaining farmer. The price of literally everything is about to increase significantly, especially if the price per barrel hits $200, which would be a historical record. However, economies will adapt eventually, and once the war ends, I bet the Strait of Hormuz will re-open. After a few months to years of demining and re-establishing lost trust and certainty, traffic will return to pre-war levels. And the price of oil will start to drop massively again. And you just know there are gonna be a couple of rich sleazeballs with insider information who'll be able to time that short with pinpoint accuracy lol -

It was years of preparation and hard work from her lmfao. First she promoted herself on Dr. Phill as a bratty teen sparking fake outrage from consetards. Then she turned that into a rap career further expanding on that brattiness. And the day she turned 18, she reaped that simp harvest lmfao there's no way that was not calculated. Simps and their money are soon separated -

I think in such a scenario there'd be endless things you could do. You could travel space forever (each star system and planet could be colonized and arranged in a completely different style and vibe). You'd be able to improve at certain skills for a very, very long time (such as chess, which has something like 10¹²⁰ possible games), you'd be able to put yourself into a simulation and experience scarcity again if you wished. You could learn about and study reality forever. The only real concern is whether there'd come a point at which you'd voluntarily want to quit life for good. Because you'd actually have to make a conscious decision to cease existing; since otherwise you'd just keep on going. That's something I'm not sure about -

A Harry Potter remake, really? Nothing original created? This is so gay

@Natasha Tori Maru Personally, I would just like to extend my life and that's about it. But yeah, the possibilities stemming from such technologies are scary and are genuinely even revolting to some extent. Scary questions as well. Yeah, hard to answer

Makes sense to me, as expected A.I. of course lacks true agency and the very poor agentic inteligence performance in ARC-AGI-3 reflects that. I've tried one of those retro games and passed all 9 levels without too much problems, so the the fact none of those A.I.s could get even 1% is really showing where it's lacking. Good thing about it is, that we have more time to focus on a various security and ethical concerns, as well as having more time to meaningfully contribute to society and A.I. development if one chooses to go that direction -

Idk bro is a little bit wacky, a little bit kooky to say the least. He's also spreading some missinformation like during that Tucker interview. Hopefully his predictions will turn out mostly wrong, though unfortunately they're not entirely baseless -

It's a BS advice anyway, it's just yet another one of those catchphrases people pull out from their repertoire of shit phrases, along phrases like "love will find you when you least expect it" and "Balance in life is key" and shit like that lmfao. I call it the Normie Repertoire. But realistically, if you had only 1 day to live, that means that some apocalyptic event is about to happen, not that you have cancer or something. So there's no way you'd actually have time or opportunity to enjoy yourself the way you think you would. "Living as if it was my last day", for me would probably mean doing the same shit I done any other day. Not go fuck a bunch of hookers lmfao

I'm currently stage S&P 500 which is even beyond crystal, I'm so conscious I'm encompassing the entire US economy

I have noticed in fact. I've also noticed that they can be major pain in the ass for silly reasons, much more often than that

Sure, it's gonna do that among many other things that can be hardly even imagined. If we get to that ASI stage. Future's pretty scary tbh, but still better than the lame watered-down shit we got now and in the past

A.I. being just the tip of an iceberg is a bit of a stretch lol it pretty much is the entire iceberg. Without A.I. we probably aint getting shit, and probably will live out just a regular life. All of these inventions assume a helpfull, pro-human/pro life A.I. which will be helping us with everything including our research. Or at least that A.I. not being against us. Then it's GG for us most likely
