has it become popular to be a complete social inept? i’ve never seen so many kids that can’t handle basic human interaction as i have in the last 5 years. WTF?

it’s up to you guys stop stop your neighbors from voting (as well as cast your own ballots). i would use any tool in the bag. this could be the end of the world if he wins. i don’t feel like that’s an exaggeration.

cards should be working as dem strategists

it is not and this is where we are at.

of course we should be using all renewables now (as well as nuclear), but the world will only need more and more energy in the future. Sustainables are a bridge and a supplement, but for long term security, fusion is the answer. fusion empowers us to do whatever humanity is capable of.

i see a lot of naysaying in the comments and a lot of superstition.

the one thing you all got right is that it will never work in the hands of capitalists. however, that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t work in the hands of academia.

another thing that i think somebody in this comment section got right is the acceleration of fusion power. it’s obvious that fusion power works. we just can’t work out the details to make it net positive and scalable. i think those things are possible, and that we need all the help we can get to develop it.

something i don’t see people mentioning is how an AI properly trained on human behavior could lead us down a path of sustainability without making us feel like we were forced to. with the right carrots and sticks, you can lead humanity to water and make it drink.

but none of this is possible without abandoning capitalism and unifying the world. we have to move away from nation states and fiat currency. and guess who are the people that stubbornly cling on to these concepts across cultures? conservatives and the religious - these are the two most cancerous concepts in the human species. roughly half of the human population across all cultures are backwards minded people clinging on to outdated concepts and unwilling to let go of the idea.

if you can figure out how to eliminate conservatism and religion, utopia is within reach.

it’s almost like we’d make better pets than masters.

that’s the question we all have to collectively answer, so i’m asking you now in the hopes that others will see what you say. i don’t want to put words in people’s mouths, i just want them to talk it out.

stop trying to make sense of it. logic fails on the average conservative. you have to realize that there is no reasoning with them. that’s the first step. once you do, you can then begin to ask yourself, “what do we do to stop them?”

it’s not. at any point, if enough people band together, we can make anything happen, with or without the government’s support. we are looking down the barrel of global catastrophe. at some point, we have to do something.

so what do we do?

it won’t change their minds.

and the more they shove this stuff into the curriculum, the dumber the people get. the dumber the people get, the more likely we are to sleepwalk into the next global catastrophe. the entire future of the world seems to hinge on what the people who are alive now do. so what do we do?

so what is the most logical step if we are to avoid a global catastrophe?

i can’t tell if this is supposed to be sarcasm or not but this is godawful moral advice.

“stay comfy and forget about it if you can”

do we or do we not have an obligation to be stewards of the earth? obviously the decision is a personal one. i guess i’ve decided with my post existential thoughts that we do, and that if you don’t agree with me, i don’t want you on my team. or the planet for that matter.

but those that aren’t receptive are literally the problem. american politics has been a 60/40 split with unequal representation for decades. the gears of government are locked in a bitter struggle where not enough is getting done and the problems keep piling up.

what do any of us do when logical, good faith arguments fail and the future of the world depends on convincing idiots that the sky is blue? serious question.

it’s true, but the demand for intelligent meta movies seems low

you know how long it takes to find a decent movie now? forever. the whole industry is beneath me. I gave up and watch ancient mesopotamian docs and otis gibbs.
