- Comment on Probably would be better off with alien or lizard overlords 1 day ago:
Being deluded that different is maybe better is literally how humanity has made all progress. You seem upset with the word “overlord.” It’s a little ridiculous but somewhat understandable given its connotations. Thankfully when our benevolent alien patrons take over, it’ll be a non-issue.

My argument is that I don’t think the demographic collapse will be as devastating as you made it out to be. Did you even read my comment?
- Comment on Majority of Australians think China will be world’s most powerful country by 2035, poll finds 1 week ago:
China has proven itself able to change drastically and quickly. High speed rail and renewable energy. Both massive undertakings tackling massive problems for China and both done far faster and on a much larger scale than anywhere else. If there’s one country I actually trust to be proactive about securing its future, it’s China. I’ll take the wait and see approach to the supposed imminent demographic collapse

- Comment on One major issue with social media is that it operates on a first come, first served basis. This essentially rules out the possibility of well-considered, well-researched content being successful. 1 week ago:
Well it’s not like people are really here for long format posts. Those people are probably reading books.
- Comment on There's a lot to be known about me by knowing who my exes are, what my favorite songs are to sing in the car, and my fast food orders. 1 week ago:
I feel like that is potentially the least efficient method of getting to know someone
- Comment on ‘Life that they deserve’: why Australia’s elephants are moving out of city zoos 2 weeks ago:
I want every zoo to become a battle Royale tournament arc. Unlock all the cages but keep them contained to the zoo perimeter. Let them duke it out until one survivor remains. Then the winner from each zoo is taken and put into a fight pit. Tickets are sold, gambling is state administered. All proceeds go to wildlife conservation efforts, zoos are banned.
- Comment on Everybody has something to teach you. Some people teach you how *not* to be. 2 weeks ago:
Sort of off topic but this post reminded me of something.
I used to live in a very low socioeconomic area of Australia. When I was in highschool I had never had a bad experience with Aboriginal people but I was always on edge around them. Walking home from school one day I passed a group of Aboriginal people who I had seen in that same spot many times before, this time an Aboriginal lady approached me though. I remember thinking to myself “well it’s finally happened. Guess I’ll find out shortly if I’m a fight or flight kinda guy.” She stopped infront of me, no shoes, tattered clothes missing teeth… but the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. She made a gesture to my hair and said, " I like your hair, it’s so pretty." Being a guy I had never gotten a compliment from a stranger like that. I thanked her and smiled back.
Very few moments do I consider to have changed my life but that one definitely did. I felt ashamed of how I had thought of this person before ever interacting with them and I felt ashamed of the country I live in that so often complains of how much we’ve given these people despite the reality of taking from them everything of worth and leaving them destitute.
I’ve been harassed in public for my red hair so many times. I’ve been harassed in public for dressing feminine many times again. But that one time I wasn’t and I felt beautiful.

- Comment on Are humans really so predictable that algorithms can easily see thru us, or does continuous use of algorithm feeds make us predictable to their results? 2 weeks ago:
In large groups, yes. It’s just a statistics thing. For example I can’t tell if any given flipped coin will be heads or tails but I can tell you that of 100 million flipped coins about 50 million will be tails.

British people have been spitting at each other and getting in fistfights in parliament since before the first British boots tainted New Zealand’s coasts. But now it’s a problem.
- Comment on Please Don't Preorder This... 2 weeks ago:
You can’t convince gamers not to pre-order. I’d bet the guy in this very video will pre-order it. I have not ever witnessed a hobby community that gets so uppity about pricing yet continues to pay. Maybe Warhammer fans can compete but I feel like they are well into the acceptance phase of buying into predatory business practice.
- Comment on New AI test can predict which men will benefit from prostate cancer drug 3 weeks ago:
I think for non tech people (can’t write a line of code in any language) the processes are similar enough for the use of a general term. I think AI is fine for this purpose even ignoring the fact that it’s probably too late to go back

- Comment on The term carrot and stick doesn't sit well with me. If you hit a donkey with a stick then it's likely it won't trust you enough to accept a carrot later. 4 weeks ago:
No you’re not hitting it with enough force or frequency with the stick if it’s not working. You have to entirely break an animal’s spirit and then you can encourage it. Circuses have been doing this for centuries
