Essentially every bloody conflict in history is caused because different people are placed too close to each other. Only the rare empires manage to buck that trend and go far away from the homeland to conquest and kill.

That's exactly the problem history proves hegemony solves, lmao. You don't have to answer that question with people who are the same as you. It is an intrinsic truth.

How can anyone read things like what Marc or this author wrote and still believe diversity is good, or any any way a strength? Hegemony is clearly superior. Rather than wasting time legislating the foundations of a society with participants who hate you, in a hegemony you can simply build.

And then the bleeding hearts bled, and pleaded for me to wander down another path.

> Google: neuralink federal investigation

> Dec 2022, pigs and sheep died, no explanation of how, no explanation of to what purpose, no discussion of what law or ethic was broken.

> Feb 2023, contaminated hardware shipped improperly

Can you please cite anything specific? All I want is an instance of some animal being butchered; not by some bureaucratic corporate mistake; not by some individual slip, but by actually evil behavior or causing unnecessary pain to an animal.

How is everyone crying so hard when there is essentially no information of what actually happened? 60 pigs died- ok, how and why?

According to you, and some "experts" I assume.

How do you get this far in life being this soft? Things die and we murder them. That is life. You surely have profited from the death of something.

Depends on the human. Probably zero but could easily scale to a few billion, at once, for one monkey.

If you're sad about Nueralink monkeys you should be sad about slaughterhouse cows. Are you just acting in bad faith or are you truly this dense?

I was about to have a knee jerk reaction to this comment, so I read the article. I wish I just had the knee jerk reaction and skipped the article.

The article is 10 thousand useless words surrounding the fact that 12 monkeys died due to Nueralink research. They didn't tell us for what they died, if any mistakes were made, and for all but one we don't know how they died.

This seems like a case of bleeding hearts bleeding.

We are maturing. We will mature. We grow up with heroes these days. Thanks to intrepid companies like Disney who, and despite polluting right wingers best efforts, we have a trove of emotional education material for our next generation. Marvel and Harry Potter are the two greatest inventions of the past 100 years- even more than the mRNA vaccine.

> it's time for a massive rapid change, without the period of suffering this time

I massively agree, though I will make the mistake of staying for money again. Whenever I see I can work 3 years at A for every 1 year at B, I can't stomach the loss.

Yeah, I found too I wasn't eating enough. I estimates I was eating around 1500-2000 calories regularly and I never really felt hungry. Once I started forcing myself to eat larger meals I felt a lot better and started feeling hunger again.

Just try some pushups, dips, pull ups, and sit ups. Just do a set of a few types each day until your strength is depleted and you will see strength gains.

After my startup failed and I broke up with my girlfriend, my cognition massively changed: I was less creative, less quick, and I could see it reduce my ability to code. Otherwise, I lost libido, had paranoia in social interaction, and alcohol or marijuana would cause me paranoia. When I would ride my motorcycle on curvy roads, or when I would play a racing game or read a book, I couldn't get into a flow anymore. Thinking about activities would stress me to the point that I would avoid doing anything.

After a number of years I feel normal, and I think it was due primarily to finding and sticking to a routine. The routine involves little things like watering plants and making coffee, and I just do them every day without thinking. Otherwise it includes exercise, sleep, chores, work, and procrastination.

I'm so happy to read the glowies were unable to extradite him to the US.

Hard working nice people

Hard working mean people

Local politicians

Property criminals

Violent criminals

Government apparatchiks

MAPS

Federal politicians

In this fantasy wealth is banned so that problem is solved.

Perhaps we conscript our leaders via some random process?

If we ban wealth, we should also ban career politicians. Otherwise we are just trading one unjust ruler for another.

> And, it's arguably a rather large amount of hand-wavey bullshit trying to paint certain nation states in a particular light and narrowly define 'war', 'peace', and 'violence'

tl;dr lefty academics disagree?

> The woe-is-me passive-aggression isn't helping your cause, dude. Share what you know, nicely, even if you're disagreeing with something, and people won't jump on you

Has he been not-nice?

I recall that study!

I suspect those downvotes are due to people recognizing that it implies depression is sometimes within the control of someone afflicted by it and conflating that with blaming the person afflicted by it. People seem offended by critiques of modern ideas that rationalize away an individual's control, agency, and especially culpability for their behavior or outcomes. Sometimes these rationalizations are fair, other times not.

I agree, I wonder if depression is not always rooted in some random, mental problem but rather a reasonable reaction to reality.

There could come a point where modern society is so degrading that sacrificing complex niceties becomes worth it to live off the grid.

If not basic logic, it is a foundation of a few common sense premises and basic logic.

For an organization to output something of value to people they will generally need something of value as input. Money is the best way to convince someone to give you that input. Money is burgers, beers, drugs, and gasoline. Something you can sell for money or barter is a close second. There are other ways to get that input, but ultimately you are relying on someone being convinced into doing something for less in return than what they put in: military draft, patriotic enlistment, prison labor, slavery, volunteering, donations, taxes, robbery, inflationary money printing, non-competes, anti union laws, a nationwide campaign to convert to communism, etc.

I've used Google's ORTools and Microsoft Z3. If you need to input a lot of variables, I found Z3 to be better since it took SMTLIB formatted text as one big chunk- rather than numerous API calls which each suffer native binding overhead. Z3 can also iteratively solve, where you can append additional constraints and rerun the solver from its current position- I don't think ORTools had this feature.

Some students need to be left behind

In the interest of dogpiling, I'll also never give up my support for standardized testing.

My childhood school had 99% pass rates on standardized state tests and we literally never prepped for it. Time wasn't wasted studying directly for the state tests because there was no further score on which to grow. If a school of students is unable to meet the trivial ability required to pass the state tests then they have significantly worse problems than wasting time studying specifically for state tests.

> transfer of unlearned behavior with brain extracts

I'm surprised that it works.

From my quick reading of this bill doesn't it only possibly apply if a foreign entity owns or controls some impactful US tech? The gate of the owner being a foreign entity seems like a strong enough protection for US citizens from this bill.

If Wall Streeters own a majority of shares then it would be true.

I don't think we need to be shaming people for having equity emergencies. We can assume these bikes will be sold to fund self administered mental health treatment, food, rent, or college.
