- Comment on Economic growth could fall 50% over 20 years from climate shocks, say actuaries 2 weeks ago:
Seems awfully optimistic. Growth is going to be hard to come by with climate, disease, war, wealth inequality, dwindling resources, population decline and fascism all working against it.

Don’t lie, that’s a high power magnet from fallout 4. Worth 1 ceramic, 3 copper and 1 nuclear material. More if you have the scrapper perk.

Ironic that Republicans want tiktok gone despite its brain rot having a lot to do with them winning the election.

Right, and I don’t doubt you, empathy is how society grew. But empathy is not why society started.
Keep in mind that you wanted to keep old people in your tribe to look after the children. The men and women were looking for food and firewood and building materials. Losing children means the end of the tribe. Feeding the elderly is still security. It simply makes sense from a survival standpoint.
Obviously they had empathy as well. If you didnt, you wouldn’t bother to bury the dead, let alone give up valuable items as offerings, such as an ax. As far as I’m aware, that practice dates back at least 40k years. So obviously there was empathy there.
However, I would say that that empathy comes from security. “They were one of us”
But a rival tribe member dies? Do you think they would gather for that scenario? That would be empathy. And there’s no proof of that in a prehistorical context.

I’m kinda surprised that nobody has harnessed our magnetic field to build a power source. Or at least tried. I have no idea how it could work, and I may be dumb as shit for this. But I feel like it could be possible if we had another 500 years left of society.
- Comment on same as it ever was 2 months ago:
Societies weren’t built on empathy, they were built on security. Not just physical security but food as well. No society in history was built on empathy, ever.

I think they meant the wraith guy that posted it, not “god”. But for someone named wraith, to encourage following another person named wraith seems suspicious.

I think it also has a lot to do with the humidity of human breath.

I appreciate that you stated it in a way that the fun fact is there’s a theory, and not that the theory was definitive fact. But it definitely seems plausible.

- Comment on New York City's new solar-powered school buses will support the grid too 2 months ago:
That’s awesome! Now can we cover parking lots in solar panels? Thus giving electricity and shade in one of the hottest environments? I would absolutely give my business to a company that did that.
- Comment on Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s social media posts have had a ‘sudden boost’ since July, new research reveals. 2 months ago:
Yeah, I agree with that, but the fact that people will continue to argue shit is awesome. Like even shit that most of us know is BS, someone is out there proving why it’s BS. That’s my point. I’m happy that there are people that still have enough energy left to say “this is bullshit and here’s the proof” because I’m running out of steam.

Honestly I am a little surprised that anybody looked into something that we all pretty much already knew.

We CAN do that. Whether we choose to as a society, is far more up in the air, unfortunately.

It’s also got some trick jaws, it’s not 100% from size alone. Like dunkleosteus, which had a novel jaw that amplified the force.
