@elonmusk Indeed. The weigh of expectation of the entire Universe is on our shoulders.
Not only we must endure, innovate, to save this planet of ours from it's eventual demise, either from extra-solar threats, or the Sun itself..
But we have to find answers & solutions, for entropy..
@dsmart People only see the success stories, not the million failures.
One only has to ponder about the fact that so many indie games are released on multiple platforms each day to realize the reality is very difficult for indie devs.
@DrJBhattacharya@NateSilver538 It's due to ego, they think they far more intelligent than they actually are, for their shortsightedness fails to factor in Human ingenuity to solve problems.
Resources remain abundant. New technologies are created to overcome prior challenges.
Also, Earth is not forever.
@ichudov This is what happens when the immune system is challenged with the Covid Spike antigen for prolong periods of time.
Typical infection is ~2w recovery, with no further antigen challenge.
The mRNA vaccine behaves very different in that its persistent expression of Spike.
@nascentjude@rationalaussie@AvidCommentator How ironic.
Vietnamese refugees risk their lives on the high seas, storms & piracy, on leaky wooden boats to get to Australia, the "lucky country"..
Now Aussies are packing up going to Vietnam for better quality of life. 🤣
@TheEathen I'm going to give you a brief history.
Australians went to war in Korea. Got Korean refugees.
Australians went to war in Vietnam. Got Vietnamese refugees.
Australians went to war in Iraq. Got Iraqi refugees..
Do you understand the solution?
@elonmusk We are the only hope for the planet, and eventually, the Universe itself. The fact that we exist, is simply a miracle, the manifestation of dead Stars reborn, to continue on the journey to face the challenge of the inevitable heat death of the Universe with our intellect.
@elonmusk Despite our modern civilization, we as a species on this small cradle called Earth, our consciousness is incredibly fragile and so few appreciate that reality.
Pointless wars, egoism drives dangerous bioweapon R&D, huge budget waste resulting in the Sciences underfunded..
@Grummz Unfortunately, "fishing for whales" is highly profitable. As does designing games around gambling feedback loops that exploit many who are vulnerable to it.
@simongerman600 Ultimately, wind & solar just shift dependency to China as the materials for these technologies is China's monopoly, and the more unstable energy sources, the more gas turbines are needed.
No serious reduction in CO2 emission is really possible without modern nuclear reactors.
@simongerman600 Germany has pushed massively for renewables, yet they are still heavily dependent on gas, for heating & gas turbines to stabilize solar & wind fluctuations.
@RALee85 And specifically, Geneva Convection, article 28. Forbids using protected persons (aka, civilians) as human shields to deny enemy military target of a location.
Ofc. War is brutal, and "rules" or "war crimes" are often ignored. I am not naive. :)
