  • Because you can’t kill every human. Human civilization has advanced to the point that it is capable of surviving basically anything short of everything all at once.

    So with that in mind, literally any ideology of “just let it all collapse”, no matter how much the shithead insists they hate everyone equally, is a fascist wish for death upon the disfortuned and socially ostracized.

    Being bad at math and insisting on a completely impossible “what I’mactually aiming for!” does not insulate you from being a racist shitbag for wanting a scenario which will inevitably cause the disproportionate slaughter of the underprivileged.

    Not even the Thanos Snap escapes this, the tack on impacts will naturally hit the disfortuned and socially ostracized hardest, making it a lot less “random” as the big purple antman pocket insists it would be.


  • Because they don’t, letting people die for mother nature and whatever will inherently impact not white not rich people far more.

    Just letting shit collapse is a position that inherently comes from a place of knowing you’ll probably be fine when the dust settles, no matter how many bodies were needed to cushion the landing.

    It’s basically an even more heinous version of the sarcastic “I hate everyone equally” response to being called out for being a racist dick.





  • Modi is in the weird place of being an elected authoritarian, and so he uses that one foot in both worlds-ness to try and be the diplomatic pivot between those spheres.

    The problem, is that Modi is a terrible diplomat, and people come to India not because of his talents, but because India is a sleeping economic giant that could pop off at any instant depending on how their government and society shakes out. Keep in mind that India is still a very much under construction country. India being a collection of colonies and princedoms us still in living memory, and even if it wasn’t, America almost a quarter of a millenia old and even then it is an under construction state and society.


  • I’ve been saying for a while now that the singularity isn’t going to be based in an AGI, ot will be minimizing quantum computing not just to a commercial scale, but to an implantable scale, and creating a neural “third hemisphere” implant which allows the user to basically have all the capabilities that human thought excels at over machines calculation, as well as all the capabilities of the reverse.

    If we hit that point before inequality is addressed, it will lead to the classes literally becoming different species from each other, an overlord owning class that has financial access to such expanded mental capacity, and the peasant working classes that are financially shut out of the expanded career potential the implants would provide.

    Not to mention the terroristic horror that could come from the implant not being solidly air gapped from the internet. Might be cool to perfectly calculate an optimal frisby toss, but it’ll be less cool if someone changed the trajectory you’re aiming along to turn the thing into a murder weapon by hitting a rando at just the right angle.













  • If you’re genuinely serious, a beginner’s server box and some CLI training will usually be enough for your average person’s storage needs, especially with a proper personal VPN connection.

    Only people who need entire racks are those aforementioned gurus because they’re working with whole computer images which can be hundreds if not thousands of gigs, and people who are trying to torrent all of known visual media in human history to create a personal free streaming service, which will almost definitely land you in a court room courtesy of your ISP ratting you out to the authorities.
