That, and the idea that humans are now programmable and the concept of free will is over. He and his son-of-a-Nazi mentor, Klaus Schwab, want to turn you into the Borg. Literally. Harrari is a class A megalomaniac and psychopath. Study him

There's really very little difference between far left and far right. They're both radical extremes that allow no diversity of thought and that demand unquestioning allegiance to the tribe. Contrary to popular sentiment (or media

The problem with your example is that 1] actually happened. 2] is a media/political fabrication being proven in a court of law at this very moment. And to the point of this article, and many comments here, the news is much more homoge

I have to seriously ask: Is this actually a surprise to anyone?

Don't rule out another possibility. The true magnitude of the bot problem is exposed in court. Twitter is exposed for not only lying to Musk, they're also now in trouble for lying to the SEC (for years ) and by that same token,

If Twitter has nothing to hide, then why not give him the complete access he wants? Why should Musk just take Twitter's word? Musk never intended to buy Twitter. The objective was to expose Twitter as the propaganda machine it is.

On the other hand, if you're a ballot trafficker, this is good news for you and the non-profits and NGOs abetting you.

This is a pretty good example - now just apply it to the actual problem. The amount of currency in circulation. Inflation isn't about the cost of goods or services actually costing more. They don't. If anything, the cost of produc

"Google still gives decent results for many other categories, especially when it comes to factual information." That is highly questionable and subjective.

I think it's just more political correctness gone wild. The vast majority of Spanish speakers in America are from Mexico but it somehow became derogatory to refer to them as "Mexican". How is that any different than calling s

This is very true and I think people forget that they have the support of almost all mainstream media. This gives the very false impression that they (and their ideologies) represent the majority of the public - but in reality, this is far

I'm not sure how no one has figured out that the long-term goal of the Democrats is to eradicate the middle class entirely. To be fair, it's not a Democrat or Republican thing at all; although, in recent years, the Democrats have

Phones have GPS. In states where texting and driving is banned, why isn't there some way to program the phone so that it simply doesn't function if it detects a speed of over 5-10 mph? I just don't see a problem with that sin

That's the attitude of most everyone, and hence the reason it won't change. But IF.. (just if) a few hundred million people decided to ditch Chrome and Google's "services" (data collectors in disguise), Google might

Unless they believe they can get away with it. Let's not be naive. The Big Brother agenda of Google didn't happen in a vacuum. They have government support and protection from some factions of our intelligence agencies to this day

I'm excited by the idea but I have to agree with an analysis by Frooglesim: ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbTSy409BjY ). Microsoft has closed down their Flight Simulation franchise twice now, presumably because it be

I think it was a racing game, not a flight simulator. I used to know how to access that.. but it was 12-15 years ago.

I hope it's not too "video-gamey". That was the downfall of "MS Flight". It was highly disappointing to hard-core simmers who had come to expect realistic flight conditions, routes, ATC, physics and a world-wide map

I'm a very good musician and have never thought about it exactly that way before but I have to say, that's a very good explanation and way of thinking about it. I think it's a bit abstract for someone trying to learn to rea

It is just a convention, not a rule. It is very common in classical music for a piece in a minor key to end on a major chord (called a Picardy 3rd) or in some cases to end on the dominate 5th - which is a major chord. The latter though, i

Yes, I almost mentioned this point about A# and Bb on his blog but didn't. He gives an example of an A# major scale and it becomes immediately obvious that something's wrong. In order to write such a scale you either have to skip

Yes, I was trying to explain some theory to my sister and she had it in her head that "black notes" on the piano - or anything we call a sharp or flat - were "minor". It took a lot of explaining to get her to realize tha

The 'a' sound in "Slaw" is a bit tricky. it rhymes somewhat with the 'o' sound in 'ostrich', 'ought' or 'taught', which are written with the symbol for an 'o'. Oddly tho

No, I don't work for them but, has no one here heard of PowerBasic? it started out as BASIC/Z, the first interactive compiler for CP/M and MDOS. It was then extended MS-DOS/PC-DOS and was then published in 1987 as Turbo
