Hi. An electric tv is my dream.
Is your current television set a diesel one?
I use Interactive Reality Entertainment. It’s co2 free

#802Fungus based mycoprotein for food and seawater battery. Im hopeful that the energy derived from saltwater may reduce the pollution of watervessels and maybe help in having more sustainable solutions where robots powered by the sea could be cleaning up the pollution.
Yesss I feel like we're only scratching the surface of how powerful fungi are, and we'll keep uncovering new, amazing properties that will help us survive.

#803Not a particularly big big thing, but here in the EU people are massively buying electric bicycles as the main transportation mean. I guess it comes along with the dropping batteries cost.

#804Agricultural revolution. I believe things like food, health and safety will become things not taken for granted anymore. Prices of all of these things will go up and take a major part of the household budgets. I believe one of the first is food, as every nation (rich or poor or sick) will need it and changes in climatic conditions have an impact already today. Next is health industry than defense (this one is scary)…
Yes but regarding food the opposite could also happen. Lab grown meet, better alternatives from plants (e.g. https://simulate.com/) are coming and could lower the price drastically. Also improving plant seeds can make them more resistant to heat/water scarcity

#805Deconstruction of discourse: the vast majority of humans out of the decision loop. All the main online sources are moving to subscription models with higher subscriptions for the real information. Only those with money will have access to information that informs decisions. At the low end, information is bundled only for its entertainment or propaganda value. At the same time, decisions are increasingly automated as…

#806Neuro-linguistic Programming et. al. It's currently considered a pseudo-science (which is technically false: it's pre-scientific . However, unfortunately, many practitioners and promoters do try to make it seem more scientific than it is.) It's actually fairly widespread, people teach it and use it all over the globe, and fairly stodgy organizations have used it (e.g. the US Army.) Yet the mainstream rarely mentions…
Interesting. Could you suggest some resources to learn NLP for increasing productivity and improving your mind? Would love to dig into that

We should eat what requires the fewest resources (water, land), and is completely nutritious for all stages of life: plants, and plants only. It’s mind boggling how tight the Venn diagram is between People Who Are Fearful of Climate Crisis and People Who Refuse to Stop Eating Animals.
This is true in a lot of places and I agree meat consumption should go down but this is not true everywhere. Animals can convert calories we cannot eat to calories we can eat.
Take dry grasslands for example where you could either herd goats and sheep on what nature provides or grow crops which uses a lot more water and fertilizer than the environment there produces.

Just test these for a week or two. I found the taste and texture intolerable after two days
Been on it since 2018. Also watching my health closely with tons of lab tests. I’ve never been in a better shape. I’m 29. As for the taste - not sure about Soylent, but JimmyJoy is very tasty.
Really? I tried JimmyJoy and had to throw it all in the trash after the first three. I found it absolutely horrible.
I would love a pill that would give me all the amino acids I need; but I couldn't swallow this.

#809Personal vehicles will be getting both bigger and smaller. What's different from the past is that electric motors scale much better than IC engines. Both the world's smallest vehicles (kid's toys) and the largest vehicles (huge mining trucks) are both electric. First the small. Cities will soon start to ban all but electric vehicles in their downtown cores (already happening in some Chinese cities). The primary reaso…
Half width vehicles ignores the following issues. - Busses. How do you make them half width? (or perhaps, uncharitably, do you think public transportation is worthless?). If busses stay the same width how do you write the driving regulations for mixed width vehicles and retrain the driving public so that fatalities do not skyrocket. - Bulk delivery vehicles. Same as above. - Half width means less vehicle stability at…
very unsure if half width vehicles will become a thing, but what's for sure is that micromobility will expand. We will see more electric scooters, ebikes etc. They solve so many traffic and environmental problems in cities.

#810General purpose humanoid robots. They're kind of mainstream idea, but very few people talk about them or take them seriously. Humanoid robots will have an absolutely massive impact in very near future. Most people don't realize that with general purpose humanoid robots, labor becomes software. Labor becomes repeateable, testable, simulatable, modular, extensible, verifiable, etc. All things that apply to software wil…
I think it is not "very soon" because progress in hardware is slow and the hardware has a long, long way to go. But otherwise you are absolutely right and I agree 100%. Recent rapid progress in AI has convinced me that we will have sci-fi style androids walking around in my lifetime, and the consequences of that are impossible to overstate. Sci-fi gets a few things about androids wrong. #1, they will not be physicall…
