@reallyzen Yup. I am at the same number for most.

Look to windward & Hydrogen Sonata only twice though.

I used to be involved in political demonstrations a lot more when I was younger. I still see their value.

People would tell me, I shouldn't expect the demonstration to 'work', ie I shouldn't expect it to change the thing I'm protesting. I don't.

My take has always been that we demonstrate mostly to change ourselves, to give each other courage and resolve to do the small day-to-day small things and work that create real change.

That's still why I get up each morning. The work still needs doing

A few years back, I wrote that the right wing in America believed that human rights were a reward for ideological correctness, rather than a baseline all persons were entitled to. The designation of “stateless” enemies who could be targeted for assassination, and the insistence that noncitizens have no claim to humane treatment or protection under the law, would inevitably slide into arguments that “insufficiently loyal” citizens have no rights.

Keep an eye on this one.

Journalists in the west now seem to finally be admitting that our media environment has seen a radical shift towards anti-democratic forces.

Yet. This didn’t come out of nowhere.

Remember those same people posting RT clips daily back in 2015?

As far as my home country goes, we have pretty solid evidence that even if we have only ourselves to blame for supporting these people, had an and provided a lot of the ammo they shot with.

By 'responsibly' they likely mean 'profitably' as online porn is where the big bucks are and they are in it for profit.

"OpenAI Is ‘Exploring’ How to Responsibly Generate AI Porn"

https://www.wired.com/story/openai-is-exploring-how-to-responsibly-generate-ai-porn/

"OpenAI released draft guidelines for how it wants the AI technology inside ChatGPT to behave—and revealed that it’s exploring how to ‘responsibly’ generate explicit content.

@SteveThompson yes that’s where the big bucks are.

And I guess this could be the right place to say that unlimited quantities of high-speed porn have already started to cause erectile dysfunction in young men?

Not to even talk about shut-ins and a developing preference for virtual girlfriends?

More than 100000 people in are now either injured or dead.

Yet Israeli journalists like Ari Shavit start out with how ”disappointed” they are with the US student protesters not doing more to honor the 1200 dead in Israel on Oct 7th.

Sorry, but I think your math is not mathing. You might want to take it and be looked at.

The Fermi Paradox says we should have contacted alien life by now

The Great Filter says we haven't because a civilization's capacity for self-destruction increases to certainty over time

I thought for us it would be an exotic technology or scientific discovery that instantly destroys on a large scale

Nope. Far more depressing and mundane

We simply watched ourselves destroy our climate and lacked the will to do anything about it because someone was making money off it

Donald Trump and his Republican allies have no intention of accepting the outcome of a free and fair election. They are boasting about building a voter suppression war machine. https://www.democracydocket.com/opinion/when-trump-attacks-our-elections-we-will-have-no-excuse/

@sjb According to Penrose, there should be an internal horizon where movement is free and toroidal singularity that does not ecompass the center.. But of course we wouldn’t know what’s there so this way was probably better for publicity.
