Sure thing hoss, just because we know where the minefields are, we as individuals are now empowered to take hyper-focused walkies again. No need to fight those that lay mines.

No need for any real action, to change the government and force bad actors out of the game forever via a justice system. Just stay divided a little longer, stay under the thumb a little more, believe in privatized problem-solutions overcoming systemic rot.

Liberal slob propaganda trying to stave of the overdue violent riots against the dystopia its spreaders built.

But that is just art. Not great art. Great art comes from stepping away from your peer group after you mastered it, being able to incooperate "unrelated" or "impossible" other concepts into the art. Its a subconscious process, of recombination and filtering.

And only some can boldly go, to were no person has gone before.

Which makes this the ultimate training goal for AI. Not AGI, but a synthesis AI, capable to produce "breakthrough" candidates for the field it is trained upon, by allowing noise and filtering for the criteria of great break throughs- explanation power, beauty, higher consistency, that puzzle piece fitting all gaps moment. If there is ever a creature out there, doing that, silicon or otherwise, humanity will own its continued existence to its existence.

The disaster is already preprogrammed. Lots of germans bought electric heaters to heat flats through the winter, as the heat provided by the house central heating will be reduced. Which will result in large increases of base load on the network, which already will be under strain.

Which means rolling black outs as soon as it gets cold. Perma-black outs if the people do not see reasons and unplug their heaters. No solution has been proposed for this. The clever ones went for wood for heating.

Still preferable to shiver one winter through, then have it warm in putins prison.

They are also out of foreign currency like Sri Lanka. Which accelerates chinas problems, as pakistan is one of its debtors and will likely default on those credits.

I have thick fingers (physical labor produces those) and the mac short-cuts are really not made for guys like me. Yes, i can change that. But still.

To much rationality or filtering early on in creativity detrains your mind from being creative.

No dopamine on discovery of the new, prevents that circuitry from running after a while. Write it down, filter it later. Celebrate even ridiculous ideas and approaches, consider them not "failed" nonsense, but in-between-steps as your subconcious works on the next, better solution. Let self-critique not be negative "Ridiculous, never would work with the physics we got" but more "constructive" -"that would be great if we could get it to fly".

Also remember, that your subconscious works with the knowledge it got. It needs input, to create strange mashups. Get your input way outside of your field to not be stuck in the solutions of your peers.

It was ever just a hype photo operation, to prevent good public transport from taking hold / being invested in?

Train boarding at least could be decoupled from slowing down and stopping. Just have a "Shuttle Wagon" depart pre arrival from the train with those who want to get out and another one speeding up with new passengers after the train as it passes through the station. Under ideal circumstances, a train would actually not even have to slow down for this. Con is that there is always a Shuttle in the station.

Remember also, that large companies have experimental expansion phases which they usually abandon once economic crisis dawns. If the thing you build is such a "experimental fort" - your parent company might be open to a "buy out", were you promise them favorable conditions by your future company with whom they share the IP.

The labs janitor sold dead animals for a side hustle, cheaper then cremation and the lower caste is not properly educated about bacterias, viruses and bio hazards.

Liberty that leads to decomplexification, leads to poor, aka less complex societies. All are farming, all are producing linearly for a exponential thirsty humanity.

The disaster is within liberty without bounds and mistaking societal complexity (division of labor) for enslavement. It has also repeated in other locations (ruanda, zimbabwe come to mind).
