Because if they check out into the simulation then the people formerly above them are now the lowest on the totem pole and maybe they dont want that.

I thought the point was to improve the world and correct injustices, not just get revenge. Two wrongs don't make a right.

It's closer to 70,000 years. If not, then explain the Australian Aborigines.

"a lot" must mean 99% either directly through grants or indirectly by the gov paying the universities directly.

It is technically possible to separate legally, but there are so many intentional roadblocks that it is effectively impossible to do so.

I know someone who got AI to make a full minecraft bot gui that will put down waypoints for people to see and dig at and then do an in-game dig search (bot uses jsmacros) and they know zero coding.

It can if having non-dead grandparents gives an advantage before reproduction occurs. Could be why we live longer than most species too.

The government doesn't do anything. It is the people that do. If the poor people all choose to live off UBI then who will be building these giant housing blocks since it isn't the rich people that build housing?

A lot of people wouldn't be able to manage it personally if they had a 401k even if they had the best of intentions.

Note, I have access but this is not my field. I just asked ChatGPT your question after have it read the paper. This is what the response was:

Yes, the paper provides the 12-mer amino acid sequence of BRP: THRILRRLFNLC .

Regarding post-translational modifications, the BRP peptide was synthesized with a C-terminal amidation, which was critical for its bioactivity. The non-amidated version of BRP was inactive in vitro . Additionally, the paper mentions that the C-terminal cysteine (C12) was synthesized as a free thiol .

So, BRP is not just a simple peptide—it has a key post-translational modification (C-terminal amidation) that influences its function.
