Did the same with a site made to upload and share videos people made themselves and watch videos others made and chat about them.

People will always buy the things they need, advertising is about pushing the things they dont need. How have we got to the state where that is the actual business of most of the large technology research and development corporations.

“We are in close contact with our American partners”, I am sure.

Heat tsunami?

I do not think it is certain China would apply it universally, a totalitarian government views its population as an enemy to be controlled. The most likely scenario is that until machines can take over production the general population would be encouraged to reproduce but no longevity treatment given, with it being forbidden to discuss the fact that the ruling elite does not age. The reason the treatment would be denied in the East and the West is that significantly increased lifespan inevitably increases experience which itself increases the likelihood of revolt against subjugation. All governments are in the business of management and not the business of improving the lot of their population, talk of improvement is just one of its methods of control. The only improvement that is permitted is technological advancements in production and surveillance.

Cost won’t probably be a true limiting factor but will just be used to rationalise restricted distribution.

My problem whenever I see this argument is how do you know this is not what human minds are doing, that we just aggregate opinions and seem convincing. The benefit of the doubt we give to other humans is that if it convincingly seems like they are thinking then we are convinced.

Any subject, like political science or social science, that includes the word science in its name is probably trying to convince itself as much as you.

The machine beeps when the software cycle completes but often the mechanical process termination lags behind this due most commonly to sunspots. Happy now.

I wonder if their take on human history is that the only consequences of interfering with complex natural systems are those that were intended.

He is a war leader and will do what he must do to lessen the unspeakable horror being done to those he leads.

All threats are a grift by people that believe they cannot win fairly.

I once woke up from a nap that overtook me and it was twilight and I didn’t know if it was ten on a summer evening or seven in the morning in the middle of winter.

Our entire cultural infrastructure is there to deny we are meat and that we will rot but we are meat and we will rot and therein lies all of the unrest.

If you think the large social media platforms are in the business of public service I have a bridge I can sell you.

Good cop, bad cop.

That part of your mind that is consciousness is regarded by the rest of the brain as quite a simple thing I think. The information it receives in terms of vision for example needs to be carefully cartooned for it, your consciousness, that part of your brain you regard as yourself needs to be told only about clouds and blue sky and a rabbit jumping in green grass. What the subconscious mind actually receives from the eye is 120 million electrical dot point signals many times a second carrying information like light intensity up small amount spectral shift large left. It has to piece all that together to give a good guess at what might be happening outside the skull, marry it with the information coming from the other eye to suggest the third dimension, compare it to what the information was in the previous millisecond dataset to infer action and blend that all into signals from the other senses and a general running model of what is likely to be there and dumb that down and send rabbits and clouds to the conscious mind. Sometimes in all of this vague threats are detected and monitored but the conscious mind is not explicitly informed so it doesn’t get upset. The subconscious mind is doing this while also managing a virtual infinity of internal bodily system signals also requiring constant response.

The input from your senses is sent to your subconscious mind which sends a report to your conscious mind, but it’s just a summary and sometimes in review needs an addendum.

Possibly it might help to accept that your conflict is not unusual, professionalism is an attempt to limit the chaos of human thought into a narrow channel but it is only an attempt. Understanding that emotions from arousal to repulsion are natural and have evolved specifically to overcome attempts to suppress them is important. Expectation and acceptance of errant thoughts is a way to nullify their potency and manage their weight on your actions. Those thoughts that flit in and out of your mind are in the minds of everyone around you, and always have been and were in the minds of the owners of those butts. The chaos does not escape our minds not because it is not there but because it does not fit into the world we have made. This essential goodness of fit to the world of a conscious well mind is what limits the stream of unlimited options coming unrelented from the subconscious.
