That’s a much taller order than you make it sound. It’d probably be easier to figure out fusion.

Fusion is the first step to a post scarcity world. All the new technology, products, agriculture methods, ect. that would be made possible with abundant, clean energy would completely transform the world. I doubt solar and wind could ever provide enough to make those advances.

Just think about the amount of fuel one plane uses, then go look at flightradar24.com

I can’t remember a specific example, but that does sound familiar. I remember someone claiming a possible reason for their strength was that slavers would breed slaves like animals for certain traits.

So all war is genocide by that definition.

Seems like that would make it easier to counterfeit. How do they keep up to date with which designes are valid?

This video is basically them tattooing “backwards savage” on their forehead. There is no other conclusion. You could have the most justified cause there is, but doing this completely and utterly cancels that out.

Occam’s razor is choosing the simplest answer. There is no simple answer when it comes to teleportation. I’m not sure there is a full break in consciousness when we sleep. Consciousness may not even be the right word…

In this case I’m not defining consciousness as simply being awake, but instead defining it as the perspective from which each individual perceives the universe.

That sounds like a form of last Thursdayism. The entire universe could’ve been created last Thursday with everything made to seem older, including everyone’s memories. These philosophies are usually shot down by occam’s razor.

If you make a perfectly exact replica of yourself do you suddenly perceive the universe from two perspectives?

Everything you think and do affects who you are. People may deserve painful deaths, but wishing or actively causing that pain darkens the soul. It’s not about them.

Everything depends on scarcity. Supply and demand. There has to be unsatisfied demand otherwise prices would be too low for anyone to make any money… it’s a poorly designed system.

Tolerable work environment is at the top of my list. If I were to even consider working at an intolerable business, I would need to be paid enough to retire after a year. We have made it so that work is life, and also now retirement is very uncertain for most young people. There’s no way I’m gonna take an intolerable job that will go on indefinitely.

Then why do they greedily hang onto power. They could retire and live lives of luxury beyond what most could imagine. I don’t really see any other explanation beyond insatiable egos.

If it’s about expectations, then anyone who even thinks of using nukes first should expect their nation to not exist afterward, and those personally responsible will go down in history (if there’s still a world to record it) as the dumbest most evil pieces of shit to ever live.

No I think I’ll stay. I don’t like to put myself in a reassuring bubble, and I never said I refuse to understand, just that there isn’t anything to understand. There is no situation where risking the destruction of the world is a reasonable action.

Anyone who greedily holds onto power is an evil authoritarian in my book, and anyone who thinks nukes are an option is much much worse. There is nothing to understand. There is no position where nukes are justified. They were used when they were first made, and luckily they haven’t been used since. As soon as they are it will give everyone else the excuse to use them too. Using even one nuke runs the risk of leading to the destruction of the world. No one willing to take that risk should be allowed power, and it should be the obligation of each nations citizens to enforce that.

Ok… still not justified.

If even one nuke is used, it would be likely that everyone would use them. I’m sure you’ve heard of MAD. Anyone who threatens to use them should be immediately removed from power. That is a principle every citizen of every nation should hold. Unfortunately russians seems not to. There are too many people who support authoritarians. Any nation that uses nukes first will likely be obliterated in response. Putin has to know that, so when Russia says they will use nukes, I don’t believe them.

And what exactly does that mean in relation to what we are talking about? Are you sayin any future use is justified because it was done in the past? If thats the case then I’m just gonna have to strongly disagree.
