Science alone isn't meant to look at the effects of its actions (outside of what its testing), that's what the humans are meant to do.
CAN humans adapt? Yes, we do it all the time. Will it harm many humans in the meantime? To many to count. So people will look to try to minimizes this (if/when possible).

Developing tools has always reduced the number of people required to produce something or offer a service though. There’s fundamentally no reason why self driving cars are special

If the timescale is your issue then we should just put out a PSA today “In 10 years truck driver will not be a job. Prepare accordingly”

im with you generally, and yes the rate is an issue for me

Isn't everything always timescale?

Maybe if we had magic it wouldn't be.

brooo...like...life is a timescale...whoahh

An interesting read: https://quanticfoundry.com/2017/01/19/female-gamers-by-genre/

no Fighting games...

When I starting playing MMOs in 2006, Fantasy MMO gamers were 83% male, today they are 64% male, quite a big difference in 13 years.

I want to get into a new MMO (or old one).

Probably sorted under "Action/Adventure" would be my guess, but yes, an overlooked category.

I'm surprised the JRPGs are that low actually, most girls I know who play games play JRPGs and not that many guys I know do

there were a handful of female players in LOTRO pvp back in the day typically played healer support

But this chart is also why anyone who says half of gamers are female are lying. Match 3 and sim games are for the most part just skinner boxes that virtually everyone has played at one point or another.

Also they’re not video games unless it’s 1983 again

Well sim games are I guess

But match 3 is like candy crush right?

The sims is but Candy Crush isn't

Yes, there are legit sim games, but Farmville and Mafia Quest are also considered "sim games"

Yeah that’s true. Facebook shit shouldn’t be counted as video games

they're still games even if they aren't popular among gamers

Or maybe video games is too broad a category

Yeah I don't count mobile, which is what they're basing that off of

playing a mobile game right now...it's my main game these days

"gamer" doesn't imply mobile games

bullshit

games are games no matter if they're on PC, Console or toaster

That’s why I said we need a different category

there already is mobile games, still games but targeted at different demographics

I don't say FPS aren't games because I'm don't like them or play them

Ah, I take it back, this study pointedly omitted "social games" so the farmvilles etc, so the family/farm sims are probably not facebook games in this study.
