And in a country without food, everyone is fed because the population is zero.

It happened around the time when people thought having one dude called a king telling everyone else what to do was a pretty efficient way to run things fairly. Unfortunately, the "enlightenment" never seemed to progress past a small group of landed oligarchs telling everyone else what to do because they were obviously so much smarter and better, we're certain, after all they had all the stuff.

It's not a good chance at this point, it's the height of naivety and ignorance to assume that this isn't actively occurring. There's absolutely no incentive for it not to occur and there's significant incentive for it to occur.

I was thinking that this article showed signs of distorted "optimistic" thinking.

I would argue that the US is not a representative democracy, and that it does not have a free press.

I used to dislike typescript, until I was hired to write it. It has warts, but the benefits outweigh them, and you aren't forced to use the parts you may not find beneficial. I think it's a good way to prototype a typed version of javascript, at the least.

That it doesn't cost something. And, that anything that costs something must be paid for by a false choice between an oligarch and a tyrant.

Let me say in no uncertain terms that there will be a time soon when desk monitors and tvs will be present but not the main display, and their sales will drop at that point. To me, it's more "when" than "if." To reach that tipping point two things need to first occur: there needs to be an ~300 USD headset with specs comparable to the current Valve Index, there need to be improvements to hand & finger tracking so existing workflows begin translating directly into the virtual environment. When those two things transpire, give it like 3-5 years tops, and I'll think you'll see a state change.

I believe everything you listed is true, so it's not really scapegoating. And, saying society at large should be held responsible for the actions of a few in power is absurdity. "Taking responsibility" would be direct action against those in power. And, I agree.

US is in a clear-cut info war with US citizens in order to attempt to coerce them into a war; we need to fully neuter its ability to do this to its own citizens and hold those doing it to account. This is US propaganda; end of story. Full stop. This is an attempt to facilitate a major act of violence against innocent people under the guise of a benevolent conquest in order to secure oil.

Damage control really ate these comments.

This would be a portion of the plan, not the whole thing.

You can freeze all loans temporarily. You can freeze all rents temporarily-- and even if you disagree with it, many, myself included will simply not pay it come April 1st and we will outnumber the police. The government can exchange cash for equity, then instead of selling it back or selling it on the open market, the government can give or sell it directly to the workers over time.

When your unfounded, conspiratorial thinking comes from AM talk radio, due to a supposed existential threat to freedom, an educated, informed, and well-spoken overwhelming consensus of independent scientists trumps a physicists off-the-cuff remarks.
