Growing my humanity

Doctors once advertised cigarettes.
Coca-Cola once contained cocaine.
Kids once played with uranium toys.

Hey @grok, what do we do TODAY that people in 2075 will find just as INSANE? Top 10, no mercy.

[Grok @grok]

1. Factory-farming tens of billions of animals in extreme confinement for food.
2. Flooding oceans and human bodies with microplastics from single-use everything.
3. Handing kids phones engineered for addiction and attention extraction.
4. Manually driving cars that kill 1.2 million people every year.
5. Dumping CO2 into the atmosphere while fully aware of the damage.
6. Treating cancer by poisoning the whole body and hoping the tumor dies first.
7. Making surveillance and data sales the default business model of the internet.
8. Using dry toilet paper instead of water.
9. Raising children primarily on screens as digital pacifiers.
10. Working 40+ sedentary hours a week that systematically wreck body and mind.

Any titles, money, or privilege you inherit are actually hindrances. They delude you into believing you are owed respect.

I think we're entering a civilizational rupture that nobody can predict. Not me, not the labs, not governments.

I don't know how much people realize how fast we're moving.

Look at what Anthropic's new model did during testing.

It solved two open problems in theoretical physics, both on black holes. One of the calculations was laid out in 2003 and nobody had ever finished it, because it was too laborious.

It formalized the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem in 30 hours, with a thousand agents that organized themselves. The first attempt took 11 days.

It wrote an operating system that boots on a laptop, starting from an empty folder, in 8 days.

It designed three electronic devices, boards, enclosures and software included. All three worked without a single electrical modification.

It found a new method to predict the structure of viral capsids, the shells used to deliver gene therapies.

And on robot control, it more than doubled the previous version's score.

All of that in a single announcement, on a Monday.

I think discoveries are going to stack up so fast that they'll produce an abundance we've never known: energy, health, materials, food. And with it a phase of immense joy, the joy of a civilization realizing that scarcity was never a law of nature.

Except that joy is going to land in a world order that's cracking everywhere, and that was designed by Malthusians. People convinced that resources are finite, that there are too many of us, and that the job of an enlightened elite is to manage scarcity on everyone else's behalf.

To me, Bill Gates is the most famous face of that worldview: a man nobody elected, who has weighed on the planet's health, agriculture and climate policies for twenty years. The degrowth crowd is the militant version. They don't even want to manage scarcity anymore, they want to organize it.

Abundance is the worst possible news for that worldview. If energy becomes nearly free and diseases fall one after another, nobody needs anyone to ration anything for them.

So I don't think they'll fight it. I think they'll try to capture it.

In the name of safety, climate or public health, we'll be told this power is too dangerous to be left in everyone's hands. We already saw the movie during Covid: the permission slips, the passes, the QR code to go get a coffee. Now imagine the same logic with an AI that can see everything, trace everything and decide everything in real time. Orwell never imagined a tool like that.

The technology is winning on its own. The question of the next ten years is who abundance will belong to.

We are living through the greatest civilizational revolution in human history. It's happening right now, and most people are looking the other way.

Hilarious: fundamental physics is immune to AI because it can be neither theoretically validated nor empirically tested.

WHO INVENTED THE 8-HOUR SLEEP RULE ?

[Iane menezes @iane_menezes]

Deputado Luiz Philippe de Bragança pede o seu apoio para se lançar candidato à Presidência da Câmara:

“Então, a gente precisa ter um presidente da Câmara que defenda essa representatividade mais profunda e de quem paga imposto.
Também temos uma questão muito grave em relação ao Judiciário. O Judiciário imperativo se sobrepôs às suas competências e precisa ser reformado em toda a sua plenitude. Não é só o STF; há todas as outras instâncias do Judiciário que também precisam de reforma.
Então, precisamos de um presidente da Câmara que vá representar isso. E, além da questão do Judiciário, temos a questão tributária, que rouba a tua poupança, a tua renda e a tua propriedade em favor de Brasília, que é um grupo, sim, criminoso. Temos um grupo criminoso instalado em todas as instituições. E quem está financiando isso?..”

A gente pode inventar mil motivos para discordar, mas a verdade é que ele está certo. Cada um deve encontrar uma forma de adotar parte dessa mentalidade em sua realidade. Só se vive uma vez.

[Mario Mello @Mariomm3m]

My dear, there are no elements to accuse, but there are reasons to be suspicious. A turnaround of this magnitude and in this manner (the TSE maps indicate that the “turnaround” occurred all across the country) would not have gone unnoticed by all the polling institutes, and the feeling of a turnaround would have overflowed in society and in the media itself. None of that happened. On the contrary, there is post-election research showing that disapproval of Lula still far exceeds approval. The PT’s victory was magical — but not in the poetic sense; rather in the sense of a rabbit being pulled out of a hat.

Now, regardless of whether the system is fraudable or not, the current voting system fails in a fundamental respect: it does not inspire confidence among a significant portion of the electorate. For this reason, countries that are technologically superior to us are reluctant to adopt fully digital systems. The only path left for us is to insist on the addition of a printed vote, in parallel with the digital one, so as to make genuine auditing possible.

O V1RU$ DO MEDO

Vivemos uma onda de pessimismo.

No entanto, "tudo vale a pena se a alma não é pequena."

Mesmo que a perspectiva seja "ruim", a pergunta que todos devemos nos fazer é:

"Se o mundo acabasse amanhã, eu posso afirmar que vivi como um covarde?"
