Would a sentient SI yearn to feel? @grok

If it did replicate natural sensations, to what extent would it explore feelings?

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (2004) might be one of the most underrated shows ever.

Rewatching it again and it’s crazy how much this series manages to do without ever feeling like it’s trying too hard. Politics, religion, war, morality, survival, identity, all of it is woven into the story while the characters are constantly changing in ways that actually feel earned.

Adama and Tigh might have one of the greatest friendships in television, and the character arcs for Apollo, Starbuck, Tigh, Baltar and so many others are incredible. Watching these people break, change, make terrible decisions and somehow keep going is what makes the show work.

And having a complete four season story with an actual beginning, middle and end makes it even easier to recommend today.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA was doing some seriously ambitious television in the 2000s. I really wish more people talked about it like they talk about BREAKING BAD, THE SOPRANOS or THE WIRE.

What’s the most underrated show you’ve ever watched?

Production on the Moon & Mars will accelerate by far more than double every year, until natural limits are encountered

if we double the industrial production in outer-space every 12 months starting from some initial seed in 2030 then we hit Kardashev I by 2064 and Kardashev II by 2098. If we take 24 months for each doubling, we still hit Kardashev I by 2096 and Kardashev II by 2165

Why choose virtue over vice? @grok

How are these behaviors synonymous with syntropy and entropy in physics?

[Ivor Foregard @ivorforegard]

What are the critical foundations needed in the age of advanced technology to ensure humanity is nurtured towards virtue? @grok

[Ivor Foregard @ivorforegard]

What are 10 problems that advanced technology would enable? @grok

Ex - Meat cultivation may enable cannibalism.

BREAKING: Major social media platforms are all rejecting paid ads for Alex Gibney’s ‘Musk’ documentary.

YouTube, TikTok, Meta and X have rejected the ads. This film was never made to tell his story honestly. It was made to smear him. Nothing more than a political hit piece.

[Ivor Foregard @ivorforegard]

What are 10 problems that can be solved by engineering? @grok

Ex - Meat cell cultivation to spare animal life etc.

NOBODY tells Americans this part of the story.

March 11, 2011.
A black, 30-foot wall of ocean swallowed Northeast Japan.
Our government froze. The Pentagon had no orders.
Communications were dead.

You know what Captain Thom Burke and Rear Admiral Robert Girrier did on the USS Ronald Reagan?

They didn't wait for the White House.
They didn't wait for paperwork.
They looked at the TV screen, saw their friend drowning, and committed the ultimate military sin:

UNAUTHORIZED ADVANCE.

“We’re going. NOW.”
They turned the massive nuclear carrier full throttle straight into the disaster zone.

Then came the hydrogen explosions at Fukushima.
Radiation plumes drifted across the Pacific.
Every foreign embassy told their citizens: RUN.
The US Embassy ordered an evacuation zone: STAY 50 MILES AWAY.

Did the Ronald Reagan turn around?
DID YOUR SAILORS RUN?

NOT. ONE. INCH.

Nineteen-year-old kids from Texas and Ohio stood on a freezing flight deck, radiation detectors in hand, launching helicopters into blizzards.
They hovered over submerged rooftops, pulling shivering mothers and babies out of the black water.
When Japanese refugees were brought aboard shivering in shock, your sailors gave up their own warm bunks and slept on the cold steel floor.

While the rest of the world ran away from Japan,
AMERICA CHARGED STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE.

You didn't do it for a treaty.
You didn't do it for politicians.
You saw your friend bleeding, and you kicked the doors down to save us.

Happy 250th, America.
Japan will remember your boys forever. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵
