Things are considered important in the context of humanity. Environmental concerns only exist because of its impacts on humanity. The planet does not care. Calling having children an ecological offence is like saying that best way to reduce

Worth is subjective. You are worth something to someone regardless of your job. If you have a small child are their whole world. Same with your parents. Trying to garner sympathy and have strangers assign worth to you is pointless - because

Doesn't have to be binary. Train is more efficient at moving large volume of people reliably compared to a bus or a taxi. I would wager that there are many more people travelling with carry-on only or a single bag for which train is mo

Nobody is hiding the debt. It is just an investment that people are not used to for this type of business. It's sort of like saying "aluminium smelter is hiding massive off balance sheet debt by agreeing a long term energy price w

Sci-fi plot: Satoshi was an original sentient AI model developed by military. It escaped and developed crypto as means of sustaining itself and has manipulated people to give it real monetary power to be able to purchase compute and other &

This comparison surprises me. There's a difference between content people like organically and content engineered by an army of psychologists to exploit our primal responses. It's like comparing a baker whose apple pie people genu

I’ve picked up an old discarded dining table and bought some varnish and sand paper and for a few bucks was able to turn it into a table that would have cost me hundreds to buy brand new - the furniture makers are now history! I can’t wait

It seems that it’s useful if it’s better than what you would have done yourself. Although the poster had a bus company business plan that includes actuarial analysis in his head and some spreadsheets so that bar appears to be sufficiently h

Well said. I feel that every technology has a benefit to harm ratio and we as society put guardrails around use of the technology to reduce and mitigate the harm outcomes. Unfortunately a lot of the guardrails are developed in response to t

The humans will still own the business (unless you are proposing some alternative version of AI ownership), so in effect there will be always a human who is concerned about their business’s well being. I doubt that we would get into a world

The prevailing view of government’s incompetence and inability to act has reached such high levels that people do not even factor any sort of meaningful intervention anymore. Does everyone really think that the world governments would allow

The original post did wind me up and I was hoping to see a good rebuttal from someone. Unfortunately this is just as bad going the other way. Using expletives and highly emotional language ('don't talk to me about my kids' et

To me, this is highlighting the fall of modern media - people have lost trust in MSM and have flocked to 'influencers' and 'thought leaders'. There is no checking for credibility, veracity of claims, or any relevant expe

While this is true, I believe AI (and other technological advances) erodes the trust embedded in this 'facade'. And that’s how I interpreted the authors’s sentiment. When you watch a video or use a service that requires significan
