@ArtemisConsort Hey, this is very nicely done. I'm really curious how somebody with this much clarity about this topic can simultaneously embrace a Jesus-based belief system. Any chance of a video about what's going on there?
@BenBajarin Any indications that this will make memory-efficiency a more significant competitive consideration for software selection? It'd be nice to see some bloat reduction overall.
“Living in harmony with nature” means *not* consuming as much material and energy as you can, and not proliferating maximally into every possible habitat—
Therefore, *no species on Earth* lives in harmony with nature—except for humans, a little bit. Because they all do that.
The only reason other species haven't broken out of their current bounds, is that they can't. They are constantly trying!
Humans are the only species even *capable* of “living in harmony with nature,” by this standard.
People who sell things online: I AM NEVER GOING TO CALL FOR PRICING. Never. I’m going to close your website and move on to the next one that lists prices.
@ArtemisConsort I think part of what drives opposition to the death penalty is the prospect that it could be applied in error, or in deliberate malice. If the justice process was flawlessly fair the overall balance of opinion might be quite different.
If you call yourself a progressive, and you’re not even a little excited by the prospect of a woman-hating, gay-hating, Jew-hating neanderthal regime that in no way represents the will of its people being crushed, you’re not actually a progressive.
