Sounds like Japan actually. All highly regimented societies are alike and can be very successful when the laws and incentives are aligned or a total disaster otherwise
Losing the EU as an ally against China is disastrous for US chinese containment policy. Trump wont be able to bribe Putin either if China starts a war.
Surely he understands the interplay between the usd being the world reserve currency and the importance of allies and military bases set across the world and how this aids US prosperity
I wonder why americans trashed their own hegemony in record time. Was it just to own the libs or are they lashing out because the elites know something we dont
And how will you deal with the societies whose populations are booming in poverty and whom will desire to share your living standards? All the excess population from latin america, south east asia and africa will soon be displaced north by climate change
The steering wheel in the case of overpopulation being a general reduction of living standards in the best case and widespread genocide and refugee crisises in the worst case.
Truth be told I also feel sharper when not dating or in a relationship, software engineering takes a lot of mental overhead. Competing in the modern meat market that is the current dating scene increases that mental overhead
This is just a test run, it's going to be global eventually. The main bottleneck for ubiquitous surveillance was always manpower. AI assisted summarization and curation fixes the issue. It's just too much power left on the table if politicians dont capitalize on it.
Why are you giving a free hand to China to do as it likes and then blame the west for following its interest? Why do you give China a pass at forcing any western business to always enter a joint enterprise with chinese firms if it wants to do business in China? Seeing a lot of critique about the blunders of the west for trying to have more leverage and no critique for chinese practices.
Theres rapid innovation in this space ever since the war started. Its going to have interesting side effects once drones like these will start being used for policing as well. Combined with ubiquitous surveillance and LLM summarized real time profiles of people its going to be a killer app for stopping any crime and dissent before it even happens
Sounds interesting, which book was it? Im looking for more practical ways to improve communication despite the PUA label. Although you can find many similarities between dates and interviews heh
I like the mental model where all beings are like a receptor for consciousness/God and the only difference is in the quantity of consciousness you receive. Enlightened beings being the most in tune to it by following the way/dharma
China and Russia are not responsible despite actively enforcing the lack of trust of the people for their governments and authorities with disinformation. Got it, got any more gems to drop on us plebs?
Explain how you can have snowdens discussion and this thread in public? Doing the same critique of government policy in russia or china would get you disappeared real fast.
There has never been such a pressure to succeed and appear rich as it is today. Social media is at the forefront of this by weaponizing insecurity and keeping up with the joneses.
I'd wager a medieval serf had better peace of mind than 90% of people today
Tbh due to social media and the current economic situation , we're creating an entire generation of lottery ticket buyers. Whats the point in saving if the average job will never let you buy a home in a decent location and the currency is depreciating at an ever increasing pace. Theres a lot of desperate people nowadays so theyre stuck chasing dreams
Id imagine its going to be a global phenomenon, global warming, dwindling resources leading to more wars. Not sure how we can infinite growth our way out of this
Quality code is simple code, simple code does not provide job security nor does it pad CVs, its not only a top down conspiracy but a bottom up one as well
You can have a lot of freetime if you optimize for it by living like a monk on a software engineer salary. However its not an attractive lifestyle so say goodbye to partners and children.
I wonder how my children will live in this much better world where the climate is collapsing, a global war is looming, the spectre of unemployment due to automation is everywhere, surveillance will soon be unescapable with every person having a personal llm agent checking them, inequality soaring and so on.
Eh who cares, my genes tell me they must move forward so uhh sucks for my kids I guess
And yet all of Russias neighbours are now courting China, Kazakhstan especially. And also Russia is content with becoming a vassal gas station for China as long as it gets to play as a faux empire and slaughter both its citizens and its brother nation's citizens in an industrial meat grinder. 5D chess as the youngsters say these days
Remote vs office is just smoke and mirrors. A company with a good product will thrive no matter the policy.
Making a big deal of returning your cattle to the farm is just to soothe investors when you have a subpar product
As an example try writing anything that exposes the darker side of russian culture on /int/ during russian daytime hours. Of course the amerifat threads and the threads about how europe is losing relevance are allowed despite being news and thus for pol not int
It's so sad that nation level agents have infiltrated the moderator team and are now pushing divisive anti western ideas and also grooming fifth columnists to create havoc in the western world. Most of the boards I frequented in the past outright ban you for saying anything remotely against russia and china but promote all sorts of demoralization threads regarding the west.
I guess someone has to pay the server costs but with a huge detriment towards the authenticity and culture that characterized old 4chan
