If saving people from malnutrition is your concern, good news; it’s still a problem today. Perhaps we could all spend less time generating empty rhetoric online and more time engag…

Funny how this topic blew up in the late 00s and early 10s. Google Fiber popped up looking to push the issue It’s sad how we’re perpetually fighting the same battles with the profe…

There’s less knowledge needed to manage these systems than we want to believe. Tech is mired in hustle culture, which means it’s generating a lot of useless “knowledge” to role-pla…

You seem to argue for ultimate freedom for others as some abstract goal while ignoring how you take from others by existing You generate waste and increase costs by reducing resour…

So? Then they’re out of the way. One or way or another, none of us are getting out of this alive. Not sure where the religious conviction we must save all souls comes from or has a…

Academics have no authority to demand others normalize to their opinions. I went through academia. They wanted people to come up with ideas back then. Now they want people to norma…

It’s also not artificial intelligence. It’s electron state in a synthetic machine which has learned nothing about the world through its own agency and curiosity but the “sit, stay”…

Stuff like this feels petty by all parties. Use an app that’s already universal if users are so desperate. Playing whack a mole back and forth over a chat app as if it’s some high …

You mean social media? Curious why social media is to blame when adults exploiting and denigrating youth is timeless. When society as a whole turns a blind eye to their future stru…

We humans are soooo good at fixing systemic issues. Surely we’ll eradicate this decades old issue at great cost, plus the same old costs, and new costs; it’ll be just as tidy and a…
