that's why all my postings are around at 2-4am

2018-10-29 16:24:56 UTC  

Rough. Did that for a year and a half.

2018-10-29 16:25:12 UTC  

Oh so you are like loopy af rn.

2018-10-29 16:25:35 UTC  

Like, consider what the unabomber said, as crazy as it was, in regards to tech and you'll kinda see what I mean

2018-10-29 16:25:45 UTC  

I don't agree with him, but it's happening

2018-10-29 16:26:19 UTC  

Kinda. Actually I wrote a bit about this for a class.

2018-10-29 16:26:28 UTC  

McLuhan is a must read on the tech question

2018-10-29 16:26:49 UTC  

Not Ted K specifically but something like it. Will check it out @Reinhard Wolff

To an increasing degree, humanity has always been riding the tiger. The civilizational arms race of nations dictates that only the strong and the innovative survive. The dynamics between man and his tools has ever been shifting so that the power balance held by our tools shifts more and more in the favor of our tools. There is no cure all solution here. The two ends of the extreme are equally implausible and utopian. Ted Kaczynsky’s approach and some SciFi future of seamlessly integrated man and machine represent the childish and utopian dreams of mankind.

I don’t know seems like the most poor and least tech savvy are multiplying while the advanced western world can’t even keep the numbers they have.

2018-10-29 16:28:40 UTC  

Man connected to machine is really starting to bloom. Neural links will be a product at the earliest 2020

2018-10-29 16:28:57 UTC  

Know a guy who works with neural links, it’s coming boys

2018-10-29 16:29:16 UTC  

I don’t know sounds dystopian AF. I’m not hooking up to a computer.

2018-10-29 16:29:42 UTC  

their fate will be worse because they aren't even environmentally conscience while being addicted to tech

2018-10-29 16:29:54 UTC  

Broke: leftists want the matrix. Woke: far right folks wanna connect the NPCs to the Matrix

2018-10-29 16:30:03 UTC  

Lol

2018-10-29 16:30:25 UTC  

NPC meme forever.

2018-10-29 16:30:25 UTC  

Yeah paradromics wants to help with disease and nueralink wants to defeat AI (Elon Musk)

2018-10-29 16:30:44 UTC  

Both noble goals, competitors

2018-10-29 16:31:02 UTC  

Yea giving AI access to your thoughts, that’s really gonna defeat it.

2018-10-29 16:31:15 UTC  

nah we're giving it access to our THOTS

2018-10-29 16:31:17 UTC  

smack

2018-10-29 16:31:27 UTC  

Not really that simple

2018-10-29 16:32:00 UTC  

That sounds like the intro to dune in a sense

2018-10-29 16:32:17 UTC  

humans evolving to having brains that can do calculations at a rate greater than cpu's

2018-10-29 16:32:33 UTC  

Tbh internet thots would broadcast their vapid thoughts for likes if it worked.

2018-10-29 16:32:44 UTC  

Via neural link

2018-10-29 16:32:57 UTC  

They had to do that because the machines were banned. The machines almost destroyed humanity previously.@Balgias

2018-10-29 16:33:11 UTC  

That’s why they needed the spice for the navigators

2018-10-29 16:33:23 UTC  

well weren't they used to fight the machines though?

2018-10-29 16:34:00 UTC  

I don't remember, that was a very long book.

2018-10-29 16:35:19 UTC  

@Sam Anderson That sounds more like the future domain for celebrities

2018-10-29 16:36:11 UTC  

debates turned into what looks like one 90's CG music video fighting the other

2018-10-29 16:37:50 UTC  

It's very possible to be an advanced society while retaining proper social and educational policies that we would advocate for

2018-10-29 16:38:50 UTC  

What's an " advanced society "

2018-10-29 16:39:21 UTC  

It will probably just be used for pr0n.

2018-10-29 16:39:39 UTC  

Am I allowed to say that?🤔

2018-10-29 16:40:20 UTC  

anything that involves entertainment allready is

2018-10-29 16:40:33 UTC  

And it will be LIT my fellow Libertarian who is freedom oriented alone 😅

2018-10-29 16:40:34 UTC  

And advertising beemed directly to your brain
