Because that line of "enjoying your existence" making no mention of the monumental harm we cause to every biome on the planet is exactly the kind of selfishness that the button pushers would like to eradicate.

This is just one more thing in a time of all the things. When all this backlash comes to roost at techs door this site I expect will be shocked. How could the average American confuse the rich VCs with the moloch worshiping pedophiles and t

i keep tabs on posts roughly along the lines of "maybe we need guns after all." imo they're usually too late, as guns without training and a group aren't very useful. but i can tell you the number has went up about 4x th

"no reason to jump to aliens" I agree with that, which is why its pretty interesting the whistle blowers who went before Congress used the term "non-human intelligence" pretty extensively. In any case the point the artic
