The only time I find faster playback useful is for online courses without much filler in them.

If kids are taught to offload problem solving to AI before being taught how to think for themselves, then we've basically turned children into NPCs.
so they make browser extensions, get good reviews then change the code to be malicious. That tactic as old as software itself.

If your company asks you to harm people, should you be conscientious of working hard or of the people you are being asked to harm?
conscience(n.) c. 1200, "faculty of knowing what is right," originally especially to Christian ethics, later "awareness that the acts for which one feels responsible do or do not conform to one's ideal of right," later (late 14c.) more generally, "sense of fairness or justice, moral sense."
This is from Old French conscience "conscience, innermost thoughts, desires, intentions; feelings" (12c.) and directly from Latin conscientia "a joint knowledge of something, a knowing of a thing together with another person; consciousness, knowledge;" particularly, "knowledge within oneself, sense of right and wrong, a moral sense," abstract noun from conscientem (nominative consciens), present participle of conscire "be (mutually) aware; be conscious of wrong," in Late Latin "to know well," from assimilated form of com "with," or "thoroughly" (see con-) + scire "to know," probably originally "to separate one thing from another, to distinguish," related to scindere "to cut, divide," from PIE root *skei- "to cut, split" (source also of Greek skhizein "to split, rend, cleave"). The Latin word is probably a loan-translation of Greek syneidesis, literally "with-knowledge." The sense development is perhaps via "to know along with others" (what is right or wrong) to "to know right or wrong within oneself, know in one's own mind" (conscire sibi). Sometimes it was nativized in Old English/early Middle English as inwit. Russian also uses a loan-translation, so-vest, "conscience," literally "with-knowledge."
I agree nutrition and exercise are the most important and best solutions even if the problem is lack of lithium in our diet.
The problem is our food is less and less vitamin and mineral dense every year.
Our soils are depleted of minerals, and hydroponic fertilizers typically contain even fewer.
It is sadly possible to eat exactly the foods you should, but still be vitamin/mineral deficient because of this.
I highly recommend a book called Soil, Grass, and Cancer. It's available from libraries free online as it's out of print. We've known for over 100yrs the connection between depleted soils, sick livestock, and sick people. The most effective treatment was fixing the soil, not supplementing the livestock, and not supplementing the people.
If you are really worried about climate change you would focus on the worst issues. You've been brainwashed by with marketing materials. If you have arterial bleeding, you don't ignore it and make an appointment to check out a funny looking mole.
flag me as a troll to your hearts content, but I'm guessing I'm the only one here with papers in peer-reviewed journals.
The concept of Climate change was invented to increase profits, and shift blame away companies and practices that are directly harming the environment.
I work in Climate tech, ecoegineering and coastal protection. I talk to scientists, politicians, activists everyday. Whatever anyone's opinion on 'Climate change', almost everyone agrees that if you were to triage causes and what the most impactful actions you could take would be, almost none of those actions are incentivized because they are not as profitable and imply liability on specific organizations and corporations.
The hardest challenge in this sector isn't "what can we do to fix things", it's "how do we shoehorn carbon credits into a solution we think will actually do some good."
anything can can be automated should be automated. It's not the jobs that need to questioned, it's the concept of 'earning a living' that needs to be questioned in the face of automation and efficiency. If 70% of jobs are considered non-essential wtf are we doing as a society? Inventing busy-work to pay our dues, and keep idle hands from questioning the status quo.
