Maybe once a month, typically to try to compensate for a drastic sleep schedule shift.

Because death is inevitable and if it’s going to happen anyway, I can use the brief time here to experience all that I can.

There it is. As far as we know, this is the one chance we have at existence. Revel in it.

Not from Cali, not a programmer (though honestly I could be).

Hard not to at 99, prospects really drop off after average life expectancy

All the points look like they’re on roads to me

That’s my guess: stop, GPS off, next point, GPS on, GPS off, next point.

Yes, I don’t wanna gleek all over my stuff.

The first and easiest thing would be to invent calculus. I’m sure other things would pop up situationally, I could probably get basic electricity going with a bit of experimentation.

Greedy sociopaths are a fact of humanity, they will always exist and will always be drawn to positions of power. The fitness of any system to avoid authoritarianism is based solely upon the effectiveness of the obstacles it erects to oppose aspiring dictators.

Materialism isn’t just about base economic principles, it’s about ensuring that your systems are suitable to actual reality, rather than just utopian hypotheticals. Anyone can design an idealistic democratic system of government that works perfectly when everyone is kind, reasonable, and cooperative, but such a system is useless. Lasting success requires a system which fulfills the necessities of government efficiently without being exploitable by greedy sociopaths.

Every system has limitations and flaws. The trick is tailoring your system elements to serve your use case.

Fuck French toast because it is decadent but usually entirely to much.

Marry waffles because they are perfect and precious.

Kill pancakes.

The main threat of AI is that it’s software. At least when robots displaced factory jobs, they introduced robot design, manufacturing, and maintenance jobs. But software is infinitely scalable. You don’t have to program every new instance of a software, it’s just copy paste. Sure there’s tailoring, debugging, and developing new models, but the number of jobs displaced is orders of magnitude higher than jobs created, and rollout is relatively quick and easy. Once a software is mature enough, it can displace an entire industry basically overnight.
