The average person is consuming , not inventing. Human superiority is based on collective intelligence, inventions made by a few exceptional people, e.g. the top 2%. The other 98% …

Trying to teach them human inventions that are developed by and for humans and then calling them inferior when they don't succeed in using them to the fullest extent is pretty shor…

What you are describing is called education and technological superiority . Take one of those away and see what happens. And whether the extinction of neanderthals and other specie…

Broad general intelligence? Yes. Field specific intelligence? Not even close.

Think about how dumb the average human is and then realize half of them are dumber than that. Humans have become the dominant species for two reasons: 1. Our ability to reason 2. O…

TFA isn't about honey badgers or their intelligence, but about the arrogant stance of the common homo sapiens on other species. End of the day, humans aren't anything special. They…

> is the best thing to happen to the web since ads. Ads are the worst thing that happened to the web.

The first thing that came to mind: Eagleson's Law: Any code of your own that you haven't looked at for six or more months, might as well have been written by someone else. (Eagleso…

Their own ads of course fit the "standards" that they themselves designed. Any other way and they'd only harm their own business model. This is a defensive move against full-scale …

There are other ways to monetize without (intrusive) ads. Produce quality content and people will be happy to support it. If your entire business model only revolves around ad-driv…

Of course not. But even if they were, it'd be only for show. They wouldn't have a say in anything.

I think you're wildly overestimating the intelligence and awareness of the general population. The media is and has been doing this for decades. If they do it in a totally obvious …

Yes, but the number of species extinctions skyrocketed due to human behavior. Natural habitats are being chopped down, nature is being forcefully controlled and developed in certai…

> If you mean humans, we don't destroy our habitat. Right, we only extinguish species after species living on this planet along with us. Mass genocide of hundreds of billions of li…

> What if most jobs are automated and people everywhere turn to violence to keep themselves occupied? This will be a slow, step-by-step process where the media will be working agai…

Every time I try to educate friends or family about it, I get the tinfoil look and they call me paranoid. Same with strangers when the topic comes up. The most common (pretty much …

"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Tr…

Not sure if you're sarcastic, but that's literally all I get from there. Spam and brute force attempts. The IP addresses fail2ban unbans are banned again 2 to 5 minutes later.

Android is not FOSS. The Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is, but that excludes all the closed Google apps upon which more and more Android apps rely on. Almost every smartphone …

> Privacy will be an issue, and increasingly so. Do you really believe that? The way I see it, most people just don't care. At all. Else they wouldn't sell their souls to private c…

I don't care at all whether people want to sell their lives to a company. If they want to use Facebook, they're free to do so. What I care about is Facebook creating a shadow profi…

You can remove it from public view and remove your ability to log into it, but you can't remove any data. Facebook was never designed to "delete" that data, hence all you can reall…
