Comment Re:Question (Score 0) 172

It is the only reality, my point is related to the story at hand, which proposes launching people into space for hundreds of years, where they will die obviously and they *may* decide to breed and have offspring who will at least have an explanation as to why their parents and grandparents, etc. decided to move from this planet in an attempt to find something else. If there is no story there is no reason for them to continue either breeding in space or continuing their journey rather than turning back or doing something else entirely, once they are off this planet there is nothing anyone here can do to prevent the people there from making other decisions.

funny, because it is true. The living never cared about the fate of their offspring, that is why they exist. Once species starts caring, it stops existing, which is good, that is what should happen once you stop putting next generations into this reality because this reality is miserable. This reality is miserable because it is full of people who are given instruments to make it miserable, instruments like voting. This instruments in the hands of the people cause reality to get worse with each passing year, since we consistently elect people who set agenda driven towards the lowest common denominator in every category. We get the worst outcomes due to us being stupid monkeys on average and we get this with an ever increasing efficiency of robotic execution, especially now driven with AI.

The only reason to move to another planet is a iron clad, rock solid way of governance that does not rely on voting and removes humans from government roles completely. I cannot imagine what other justification would someone accept for forfeiting their lives in space this way except for escaping the stupid miserable reality we are so busy building on th8s planet.

Comment civilization isn't worth it (Score 0) 153

do you really want this civilization? I mean this is the civilization we have built, these are the people populating it, these are the people in the government, this is the level of understanding, of common sense or lack of it, these are the consequences of democratic system that promotes the descent into the lowest common denominator. When I drive, I see most other cars around me, they are obstacles, it is as if nobody is in any hurry, everybody is exactly where he or she wants to be. Taking off at a green light, I look in the rear view mirror, 300 meters later, cars only started moving, it is not normal. Is everyone asleep or is the world really not in a hurry to do anything? So I believe everyone is comfortable, nothing will change because of some girl being dragged through the worst the system has to offer because of her words or text, be it a bad joke or an actual cry for help. Nobody helped her.

Not one person helped her, there is 0 help, everything was thrown at her as if she was a disease, an enemy on the front line and as if this made the rest of the people safe somehow. Maybe they should just put her down for the words, that would really make the world safer from her, no more words from that girl. She wouldn't be able to take any action either, when she is 6 feet under the world is safer. Why not? What is the real difference, treating her the way she was treated or just eliminating her? Less expense, less room for error, I mean at this point, after she has been through this, is the rest of the people safer from her in the future? What if this situation actually turns the key in her mind that makes her want revenge later in life? I would bet she hates everyone more today than the day before the incident.

If she had the button to push to take out everyone involved in this now, maybe she is more inclined to push this button after the system put her through the works.

The civilization breeds people who are not in a hurry to do anything, who believe they need the governments to protect them from everything, including this girl.

This civilization cannot survive its own complete lack of humanity, it is rotten, it is the system of robots acting on the dumbest impulses of monkeys.

Comment This is Ricardoâs theory of rent (Score 4, Interesting) 48

In case you never took that course, the classical economist David Ricardo figured out that if you were a tenant farmer choosing between two lots of land, the difference in the productivity of the lands makes no difference to you. Thatâ(TM)s because if a piece of land yielded, say, ten thousand dollars more revenue per year, the landlord would simply be able to charge ten thousand more in rent. In essence landlords can demand all these economic advantages their land offers to the tenant.

All these tech companies are fighting to create platforms which you, in essence, rent from them. Why do you want to use these platforms? Because they promise convenience, to save you time. Why do the tech companies want to be in the business of renting platforms deeply embedded in peopleâ(TM)s lives? Because they see the time theyâ(TM)re supposedly saving you as theirs, not yours.

Sure, the technology *could* save you time, thatâ(TM)s what youâ(TM)d want it for, but the technology companies will inevitably enshittify their service to point itâ(TM)s barely worth using, or even beyond that if they can make it hard enough for customers to extract themselves.

Comment oh yeah! (Score -1) 142

I really need legislation against aging and against health issues and against death please. Can we legislate these away? I mean I understand somebody has to make a buck and so they want to legislate away automation, but as long as we are on this path, of legislating away things that hurt some, can we legislate away things that hurt all? Thank you.

Comment Re: This is why we need public health insurance (Score 4, Informative) 110

You should be careful of taking the claims of the Chinese Communist Party at face value. China has universal health insurance, but it is administered in a way that many people canâ(TM)t access critical care *services*.

For example if you are a rural guest worker in a city, you have health insurance which covers cancer treatment, but it requires you to go back to your home village to get that treatment, which probably isnâ(TM)t available there. If you are unemployed you have a different health insurance program, but its reimbursement rate is so low that most unemployed people canâ(TM)t afford treatment.

Authoritarian governments work hard to manage appearances, not substance. This is a clear example. It sounds egalitarian to say everyone has the same health insurance, but the way they got there was to engineer a system that didnâ(TM)t require them to do the hard work of making medical care available to everyone.

If you want an example of universal healthcare, go across the strait to Taiwan, which instituted universal healthcare in the 90s and now has what many regard as the best system in the world.

It's complete and utter BS. The 2 state solution has been proposed multiple times ( https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgrok.com%2Fshare%2Fc2hhcmQ... ) , the Arabs are refusing it because it would de-escalate the conflict and would normalize the very *existence* of Israel, which is what they are denying (and you here as well, due to their very effective propaganda).

Also very very personally, I have 0 sympathy for anyone attacking Israel, so no love to anyone who attempts on lives of any Israelis, may they all burn in this life and any and all afterlives (which I don't believe in, I am a complete atheist).

To me, everyone who attacks Israel is barbaric and must be destroyed, how about that? There is no genocide of anyone in Gaza because it's not me, who is running Israel, does it work for you?

I am well aware of ruzzian/Israeli relationship. There are a couple of million ex-soviets living in Israel, I was one of them back in 1992, when I moved to Israel from Ukraine.

Israel is doing everything anyone could ever do to protect civilians from being killed in fire indiscriminately https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fchatgpt.com%2Fc%2F6876bd05... Sure, you can always say that more could be done, AFAIC they are way overdoing.

Have a horrible day.

Absolutely Israel is fighting for its survival. 7th of October shows that Israel must destroy all of its enemies that surround it. Hamas and others were supplied by Iran, which must be stopped from developing a nuclear bomb specifically because it would be much easier to just get that bomb into Israel through Gaza and blow it up in the middle of any city, most likely Tel Aviv or Haifa (they wouldn't do it in Jerusalem). Any 'civilian' within Gaza is suspect, that's where Hamas is recruiting from in the first place. I applaud Israel for making progress against Iran and now it must finish what needs to be finished all around it, especially Gaza.

Iran has policy of destroying Israel, it's their religious policy and policy of the State, so they are obviously interested in keeping all of the various local conflicts going for as long as it takes to destroy Israel. Israel is under a strategic threat, it's not just Gaza and Hamas, this was made clear when Iran started supplying Houthis with missiles. Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis under the guiding hand of Iran and with support from ruzzia. That's what Israel is fighting against. Just because you don't understand it doesn't change their equation and they must not and will not give up, they must destroy its enemies to survive.

The fact that the Western world has been brainwashed and is now so antisemitic and anti-Israel just shows how effective the propaganda pushed from Iran with the help of the ruzzian troll/bot farms became, that's a weapon that must be taken seriously. It was used to brainwash Americans into supporting putin and ganging up against Israel as well.

Israel is doing more than anyone to prevent casualties in their fighting, that's exactly why they develop and use extremely precise bombs and ammunition. Again, I wouldn't, but they care.

Israel is fighting for its survival.
Ukraine is fighting for its survival.
Both are attacked by terrorists.
Ukraine is attacked by a terrorist mafia state.
Israel is attacked by a terrorist religiously controlled state.

Their situation is different because Ukraine is a much bigger country in terms of land and people but Israel had much more time to prepare for this war obviously and it had support of the USA for a long time now.

Israel must win this to survive as a country.
Ukraine must win this to survive as a country.
