Do you believe they all can be saved? That it's just that they are wearing moral blinders put on them by the system. If you talk to them the right way they all can realise the system they work for?

You just don't have the entrepreneurial spirit Winchell! A few carbonised islands are worth the cost for low $ to orbit! Imagine all the telescopes and comm satellites you could orbit! Don't you want cheap calls and high res nebula pictures Winchell? Are you a communist?
Man, a few years ago I would've said that no one has the balls to create such monstrosities, but then they made the Starship. Maybe one day they'll make this too.
Good morning from baby goat land. I got over a gallon of milk from 3 goats this morning, I started draining my second batch of chevre, there's beautiful grass for the goats to eat, and we're up to 12 baby goats this season. I am so grateful!
It is against our beliefs to charge any monies for doing any spiritual healing works. If you meet folks who try to charge you monies for spiritual healing works - they're grifting charlatans. My peoples believe we go to demonic dungeons, if we ever charge monies to help people suffer less. We will accept foods. If we have to travel far to deliver our spiritual ceremonies services, we'd like to not be out of pocket for providing free spiritual healing services. We will sleep on your floor.

You are like the modern day spiritual healer. Well, I suppose they never went away, so you're just a day spiritual healer. Good on you, someone's gotta look after us sorry lot.
I received a request tonight, for a deep heart & longtime resentments clearing ceremony.
I do all requested heart & resentments cleansing ceremonies by running creeks or rivers. I choose ceremonial locations - based upon the request of spiritual healing needs.
I always choose running fresh water sources - specifically for cleansing of heart & heart related hurts/pains. It's very powerful & meaningful energies. I explain more on this, during offline spiritual ceremonies.
You know, if we ever detect a SETI signal with an LLM as its payload, I'd totally get behind any proposal to RSVP the asswipe fuckers who sent such a jack-in-the-box with a Nicoll-Dyson laser, because those things LIE (and can't actually be made truthful):
Oh YEAH. On top of the baby goats, the stupid committees, the student talk judging, the teaching, and the conference wrangling I'm supposed to do today, the switchover of my university email to microsoft has left me emailless. I made a first attempt to get it to work with Thunderbird (and failed), but managed to get in to the web version so I'll see if there's anything really urgent. But maybe it's a good thing I don't even have time to worry about email today...
Yesterday I had one person say I'm too so pro-tech pro-capitalist and one person say I was trying to force a leftist ideology, and both were responding to A City on Mars. All I can say is I wish people would stop trying to find the hidden motive and just read the words as plainly written!

If you did, what would you work on? I could use some neural network tools on my system, like a chat bot that has been fed all the linux wikis to help me troubleshoot stuff or locate configs or something. Or a bot that sorts my photos based on the people in it. Just spitballing.
It's nice and warm out, and the 2 new baby goats are really healthy, so they got to go out and meet their herdmates. (Their herdmates were EXTREMELY interested in meeting them, hilariously, especially the llama)
I wish all the speculative capital being pumped into hyping AI and cryptocurrency could go somewhere useful instead—like grid-scale backup batteries, photovoltaic power farms, desalination plants, high speed passenger rail, and building car-optional cities. (With a portion reserved for maintenance and infrastructure, which are always neglected by cultists who worship economic "efficiency".)

They are scared Charlie, they think they see the end coming. The lower rung hucksters are latching onto the AI investor teat, they see a way to finally cut the pesky humans out of the balance sheets. Charlie, the silicon valley gestalt sees the final human advantage replicated in silicon. It doesn't want to be a chump standing when the music stops. Some want to improve the human advantage with neural links. Most want to be the last Thiel standing. Last game Charlie, winner takes all.
For our anniversary my girlfriend got me a preserved sheep heart and I got her a vintage lobotomy pick.
We're less Romeo & Juliet and more Gomez & Morticia. 😛
