"I want him dead or guilty!’

Even if they don’t the guy, they’ll still find a guy. The illusion of control must be maintained.

And a meme is born

The really interesting part of that quote is: what am I?

Modern culture would have us define ourselves as a lonely and isolated centres of awareness trapped inside a human body. But if I must define my environment to define myself as an organism (e.g. I don’t exist in a vacuum of suspended emptiness) then the definition of ‘l’ includes the environment.

What’s missing in modern culture is a definition of ‘I’ that’s all encompassing and all inclusive. I am me because you are you and the two are inter-dependant. I’m not religious but I do have an interest in theology and philosophy. When Jesus said “I and the Father are one”, he meant literally, only the Catholic church would have you believe he’s a special edge case and the good word, that we’re are all one, never got out.

I challenge anyone reading this to put disbelief aside for a day and temporarily accept that everyone you meet is another version of you in disguise. That you all share the same source of consciousness that has been differentiated by your genetic container (your body) and unique experience/perspective, and see how your attitude towards others changes. Or in other words, take the philosophy of ‘Treat others the way you would want others to treat you’ literally.

Personally, I define ‘l’ as the whole cosmos. I don’t know how I do it but neither do I know how my stomach digests. A doctor could explain how digestion works but that doesn’t help them digest any better than me. It just happens.

Buck up, it’s only 4 years /s

I see this as just another step towards the extremes of ridiculousness that is fundamentalist Islamic religion. Imagine being so disconnected from existence, and being so hypnotised by words, that you would subjugate those in your culture who, through their natural virtue, embody the positive characteristics of the very god they describe and worship such as love, compassion, acceptance, understanding, yeilding, giving etc.

Imagine if it happens but not because of science but because of the profit from the commercial contracts. Let’s get rich so we can live the life of luxury in a sunless abyss of organic survival adaptations.

Axxed

Your third point reminded me of a kid recently who committed suicide and his only friend was an AI bot.

This is a website?

Life > belongings.

Damn, that’s cold

The push for foldable phones is probably coming from those who funded the tech’s R & D. It’s a solution looking for a problem.

Havana Burning in my ass

This is quite disturbing, thank you for sharing. I forget that the localised cultural medias on both sides is likely the greater measure of reality but not within most people’s awareness.

Natural selection

This is why you build by integrating into the hill rather than flattening it.

In the future, 3D environment resolution will be measured in points per m3

Will keep happening as long as contracts are awarded based on flashy proposals.
