Should we A) colonise other planets or B) build habitats in the middle of space, like O'Neill Cylinders and stuff?
  • Neither. We can’t even unfuck Earth, where in that did we earn the privilege to pollute the cosmos?

    What kind of weird Abrahamic mental model is going on here? We need to morally prove ourselves to Jehovah and he will decree we have "earned" the "privilege" to go to some rocks? Makes no sense.

  • Are you doing a bit?

    The allegation was that you're pulling everything back to culture wars, and you instantly started talking about "MSNBC vs Fox" and the USA's two-party system. In a thread about China's space program.

    Not beating the allegations.

  • Techbros are burning the world down in swathes to fuel their theftboxes at best, and artificial lovers at worst, Neuralink just fucked some guy’s brains up, Cybertrucks keep failing left and goddamn right, but sure, let’s just chalk all this up to “Musk Derangement Syndrome” jesus fucking christ I hate you techbro settlers. Please die young of something preventable.

    lol this sounds like you have smoke coming out your ears writing it

  • The problem with an O’Neil Cylinder is bringing up enough processed material to build one.

    One possible solution is a moon base. The moon is full of titanium and iron.

    And then you could launch the stuff out of a weaker gravity well with no air resistance.

  • we have consistently given other reasons. our criticisms of AI are salient and based both within the fundamental structure of the technology and the ways in which it’s employed.

    Super. Link to the best critique of AI on here?

  • I know people here are very skeptical of AI in general, and....

    People here are gonna have to come up with something to say about AI apart from just screeching "I hate it"

    When man attains the knowledge of this common essence, he uses it as a guide and proceeds to study various concrete things which have not yet been studied, or studied thoroughly, and to discover the particular essence of each; only thus is he able to supplement, enrich and develop his knowledge of their common essence and prevent such knowledge from withering or petrifying. These are the two processes of cognition: one, from the particular to the general, and the other, from the general to the particular. Thus cognition always moves in cycles and (so long as scientific method is strictly adhered to) each cycle advances human knowledge a step higher and so makes it more and more profound. Where our dogmatists err on this question is that, on the one hand, they do not understand that we have to study the particularity of contradiction and know the particular essence of individual things before we can adequately know the universality of contradiction and the common essence of things, and that, on the other hand, they do not understand that after knowing the common essence of things, we must go further and study the concrete things that have not yet been thoroughly studied or have only just emerged. Our dogmatists are lazy-bones. They refuse to undertake any painstaking study of concrete things, they regard general truths as emerging out of the void, they turn them into purely abstract unfathomable formulas, and thereby completely deny and reverse the normal sequence by which man comes to know truth. Nor do they understand the interconnection of the two processes in cognition— from the particular to the general and then from the general to the particular. They understand nothing of the Marxist theory of knowledge.
