- Comment on It’s game over for people if AI gains legal personhood 1 day ago:
I think “personhood” refers to the ability to sign contracts though.

The problem is with humanity giving up control to machines.
I mean, humanity (especially in the West) has already given up large amounts of power to corporate CEOs, which can be modelled as soulless machines well enough, but installing AI would take it even one step further.
- Comment on It’s game over for people if AI gains legal personhood 2 days ago:
“personhood” by the law only refers to the ability to sign contracts.
what you’re talking about is a “natural person”.

I want to place bets on the debt becoming a problem eventually.
I understand saying “debt isn’t a problem” is easy, as talk is cheap. I am however so sure about my position that i’m willing to bet money on the fact that debt will indeed become a problem, even for states and governments. Where can i make such a bet?

i tried but it doesn’t feel well because of the texture.

The wellbeing of the people depends largely on the political will of the ruling class; so efforting pressure on the ruling class to improve the living conditions of the people makes sense.

It’s called deglobalization.
The US dollar became relevant internationally because it allowed goods and services to be exchanged world-wide. Notably, oil is sold and bought in USD, which is super-convenient to the US federal bank because they can control how much oil they can buy by just printing more money and going into more debt.
However, as I and many other people have rightly predicted, going into debt does indeed hurt the federal household. At a certain point, it just becomes unsustainable, tearing not only the federal budget but all of the government and political domain down with it. That formally causes the collapse of the US. I’m not joking. The US will re-build itself eventually but by that time, it will have lost a lot of credibility.

I try to be positive, but my way of life are very different from other people’s; and i end up doing more harm than good, if i’m forcing myself to be friendly and nice.

Ah nice, I encountered a Poisson-distribution in the wild today. I shall recount this encounter to my children.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunch 1 week ago:
yeah i agree with especially the last paragraph. i don’t think abandoning all IP laws today is realistic, as the commercial art/innovation economy still has too much game to gain so it’s gonna take at least 10 more years.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 1 week ago:
“Left” and “right” mean very different things for different people. People can’t even agree on the definition. Just to give you a clear example: today’s “leftists” are pro-immigration, while practically all leftists before 1990 were not so much pro immigration.

btw, do you think americans would still go to africa if it turns out to be/become communistic? i.e., no or restricted private ownership of land, …
- Comment on Full Circle 1 week ago:
hey that’s racist (slight /s as that is literally the reasoning that i see many people use here as an argument why to not block immigration)

- Comment on Full Circle 1 week ago:
i think you use “emigrating” when leaving their homes behind, but here it is part of the joke that they no longer see the US as their home. instead, they’re seeing europe/whatever other country as their new “home”, so they’re immigrating.
- Comment on Full Circle 1 week ago:
Would be ironic if we had to go to Africa because life there is better.

thank you, i’ll consider this the best answer as it names both dust and moisture as reasons why sunlight is blocked.

isn’t the atmosphere transparent for most of the light, though? (except UV, but that gets filtered out even at the equator, so it’s the same everywhere again)

that’s what i’ve been saying for a while now. like a healthy organism that has both left and right hands, society too shall have both right and left people in it. that is not a problem. what is the problem is that these different parts are not communicating clearly enough and it’s causing dysfunction of society.
