We cracked 2° C globally for the first time ever yesterday
  • I don't see any cows out there drilling for oil.

    All the small farmers are going out of business and the corporations are moving in with their AI powered sustainable drone systems, stop swallowing the anti farmer propaganda.

    Let's put the oil barons out of business before we put our farmers out of business.

    This rhetoric is how you end up getting your daily food rations off Musky and his sustainable lab meat. Consolidation food production is not going to work out great for you average human, VC money funding grassroots left right and centre in this scene also, it's all propaganda.

  • Italy's parliament approves ban on lab-grown food amid tensions
  • We've been evolving with the times for quite a while. Maybe change for the sake of change isn't exactly the right thing either.

    Lab grown food, sold to you by the same system who sold you intensive farming.

  • It's worth acknowledging when you're artificially pinging your dopamine system. When you eat tasty food, when you drink coffee, when you smoke weed. Stimulating yourself by browsing the Internet aimlessly falls into this category too.

  • China is using the world's largest known online disinformation operation to harass Americans, a CNN review finds
  • Saying "troll and harass" doesn't really do the subject justice. I would rather describe it with the words "manipulate and influence."

    When do you think the manipulation started? It's certainly not a new concept. It's inherently human.

    It has just evolved in modern times to use the Internet as a tool, but it's always been happening.

    Occams razor most certainly applies here. It doesn't just apply to foreign governments but also all the nefarious factions around the world.

    The evidence is all around you, psyops everywhere.

  • Question to those not in the USA, and who have lived outside the USA.
  • It's not necessarily that much stricter in Europe. It's just guns for self-defense, isn't a thing.

    Their are guns everywhere, and everyone who needs a gun has one.

    It just stops the random fuckers getting their hands on one for no good reason. Also, automatic weapons are for killing humans. Why even sell those.

  • The year is 2043, and Chumlee has been uploaded to the Metaverse.

    "I remember those," Chumlee said, his voice echoing through the virtual space. "Let me run this by my valuation expert, the all-knowing singularity."

    A moment later, Chumlee's eyes widened in surprise. "Fourteen trillion?" he repeated.

    "That's what it says," the singularity replied.

    Chumlee shook his head. "I can't believe it. I'll give you two."

  • Obama says people need to acknowledge complexity of Israel-Palestinian conflict to move forward
  • I always find it hard to explain the leaps in logic so bear with me.

    -You just have to view everything that's happening right now in the world with the understanding that a post hydrocarbon energy economy has ramifications for western economies financial systems while also on the opposite end of the spectrum, affecting developing nations ability to catch up.

    The strength of the American dollar genuinely has been bolstered in the fact that it was the main currency used in the trade of hydrocarbons, this is no longer the case.

    If China intends to continue its current military ambitions their demand for hydrocarbons is going to persist, as America retracts from the policy of globalisation a vacuum is being created which the Chinese would be more than happy to take advance of. Developing economies/regimes etc. won't stymie themselves, they will continue to use them.

    There is an obvious split in world geopolitics because of this post hydrocarbon/globalisation shift. unwrapping the ramifications of the effects of climate change and the switch to renewables coupled with energy independence it's pretty complex, but it's not unreasonable to expect destabilisation as we enter a new phase.

    • The first mention of modern cyber psychological warfare I've seen from the Chinese think tanks was published in 2004. I'd argue that the world has become increasingly unstable since then. I'd argue that while the world is unstable right now, but we are on an upswing, if me and you are discussing this right now more capable people have discussed this before us. Everyone has become much more aware in recent times.

    • Outlook is not looking good for everyone's financial systems IMO, core economics and demographics are the best indicators of where the card lie at this time (US is always #1 in this regard). People look at inflation right now and analyse the Fed's actions without taking into account that this is Cold War economics. Increase the amount of money you increase the amount of productivity, you stay ahead. There is undoubtedly restructuring ahead.

    • Well let's talk demographics from a military perspective, A lot of the analysis of the Chinese military has been taken into account the fact that their demographics say they will have the most amount of eligible military personnel in the next decade, beyond that their numbers will be decreasing.

    But then the question arises, are demographics going to matter in military situations in the future. Do you even need humans fight. Could it just become a AI powered military machine building contest?.

    • In a world with this much restructuring and destabilisation proxy wars are the preferred means of interacting, If I were to draw a line between these two opposing groups on the map, just like Ukraine, Israel would be right on it. As this plays out over the coming decade Israel is going to be continually tested in many different ways, when you look at the long term possibilities of how this is going to develop things are not as clear cut.

    • Netanyahu is not just battling Hamas he's antagonising everyone on the other side of that line right now, essentially drawing a target on the country for eternity.

    As public opinion in support of Israel decreases in the west the chances of an American boot on the ground in Israel decreases. What if the Chinese move on Taiwan, American resources focus elsewhere. American politics presents a majority which oppose the spending. Climate change and AI are certainly going to impact the political status quo in the coming year. Even presuming military dominance is in the balance. American foreign policy is obviously different in recent years, focusing on insular tactics.

    I digress, Israeli leadership are all for playing their cards wrong.They are acting exactly like their enemies wanted them to, the would have been better just to pay them off.
