Isn’t that basically what he pitches? To be angry at the system that has, in their minds and from their perspectives, been wronging them? Even though of course people like Trump are a tumour in the system.
I have thought about it for a while but the US is basically in a cold civil war, with a significant chance of it becoming hot. And it looks very similar to their previous one. Neither side seem to have a charismatic enough leader.
It’s easy to look over the pond and think it’s none of our problem. But if the US falls to chaos a lot of other countries will follow suit. We can already see this influence in the UK and I’d argue many other EU countries. Russia probably saw this weakness, bet on it worsening much quicker than it did, but lost that bet (so far).
With that said, addressing the US as a whole no longer makes sense. I’m sure plenty, plenty of Americans see what is happening.
It’s unfortunate that one of the wealthiest people on this planet has taken the anti-democratic side, but it’s not the first or the last time in history a powerful man, rich beyond measure has done so.
Imagine Microsoft saying fuck Google, Internet Explorer is back, boys!
At current pace we most likely will. But it won’t be cheap, both in terms of resources and lives. But it’s unlikely to end human civilisation.
Keep in mind that being a climate doomer and giving in to hopelessness is pretty much playing in the hands of the ones causing it.
Does that extend to employer review websites like GlassDoor?

It’s about the same reason why Vulcans got attached to us. They’re a curious species. They didn’t necessarily expect gain other than to satisfy their curiosity. They’d probably have respected lab rats about as much as they respected humans.
But I generally disagree with the OP above you. As far as observations go, the universe seems like a rather lonely place. I don’t think a lot of science fiction is far off. Either from a civilisation looking to make friends or slaves. Both are sensible plots. The uselessness of humanity portrayed in that post seems incorrect and highly pessimistic. Evidence of that is easy enough to find just by looking at the rest of our solar system. We may be far from perfect but for something like us and all other life on earth to be born out of such chaos seems to beat the odds and so far we have no evidence of otherwise.
With that said, I don’t think humans will ever reach a state of perfection. I don’t think our universe allows that. Maybe outside our universe.
Are the elders invading again?
The Dragon Ball franchise was mostly a snorefest. Endless fillers. Extremely slow plot progress. Nostalgia is one hell of a drug isn’t it. Even DBZ, which was cherry picked here. And that extends to pretty much everything on that list. As much as I like some of them, I would never be able to sit down and give them my full attention for all their episodes. FMA mayyybe being the exception here.
When you have that much money, does it matter?
Trump and Musk are great examples of being too rich to fall. Once you get to that point, you can fuck the poor as much as you want. The only way for you to fall is to fuck with other powerful people a la that pedo ring leader who was murdered by guards after getting caught.
Doing this has gotten me off most spam call lists.
Invented in the 50s, Fortran = FORmula Translating language. It was basically created to solve this sort of problem.
The alternative forms of government have done it much faster. I wonder if we will get the balance right eventually. I thought Nordic states had a good thing going but seeing Sweden’s right shift lately I’d guess not.
Since death isn’t the same as sleep, I’d assume so.
I didn’t interprete perfect health as immortality in this case. Just a long life until I died of a very old age.
Much rather dual boot or use a VM.
Perfect health is a no brainer. Not just the longer life but also live free from all the problems that come with health issues.
The second, not so much. Talent sounds good but can potentially make a very boring life. Telekinesis sounds good too but I think I’d still go with the time pause as that’s effectively a 50% life increase. Imagine a day where you can devote 12 hours to work and chores and another 12 to social and personal? You then have perfect health which means you can achieve peak performance in pretty much any sport.
There are few things more saddening than watching a good friend burn their lives for the sake of friends and family who wouldn’t do the same for them.
I think the implication here is to take the knife and stab the scissors person.
