He's an Ai marketing scheme by some y-combo felons. Top-to-bottom, pre-planned commercial to distract from the copyright issues central to everyone's mind, the recent ruling on which only served to further illegitimize US courts, highlighting obvious conflicts of interest, skirting due process, and making every citizen question the efficacy of the current Republic and constitution in regards to protecting our personal liberties.
The short answer is that a house is no longer a place to live, but an abstract financial asset. The problem with divorcing occupation and use from finance and ownership concerns remediation of grievances. The benefit of such a system concerns maximizing the building's utility. I'm personally in favor of a more boring housing market, in addition to automatic tenant enrollment in equity-sharing programs (ie, due to living in a building and paying rent, the person who experiences hardship and loses tenancy still has some small, depreciating ownership based upon what they paid as rent). This helps solve the problem of financial engagement for the less financially literate, in addition to enabling higher-density housing to be built.
I said democratic, so yes, Venezuela. Seems like the #1 undisputed world's largest oil reserve country would do absolutely fine, if they weren't actively under NATO embargo, using military force to prevent trade in their entire global hemisphere, so gullible Americans can't spout nonsense like this and form political identities from it.
Hey I've got an idea, let's artificially restrict the flow of USD currency behind oligopolists, then double-dip and own the company that makes it slightly easier to transact. Can I have a billion dollars now for inventing paypal cause I know HTML? I'm Peter Eat-your-meal, you should listen to what I have to say because I'm the smartest conman in the room.
Have we tried nationalizing coal, oil, and gas, and having a democracy so we don't get any more local coups from the financial hegemonic masters of said resources?
Forest, meet trees: my numbers are higher, so all the things humans find important that are the very foundation of the number being important don't matter.
It is first and foremost a story by a man that wished he had died with his sister, instead of surviving similar events of the story. Because if he had died, he couldn't go on to regret not saving her and would know he tried his best. Dying is the courage.
It's called depression, not burnout. It's an evolutionary response to factors in your life that lead you towards thanatos and away from eros, allowing you the super-power of obsessive negative thought and absolute joylessness (anhedonia), so you may bide your time and fight them with the abandon of one who no longer cares about their own safety. Some choose to call it a genetic disease. I like to think of it as a valid, genetic structure that happens to have some rough edges and expresses itself too readily.
In the simplest terms, there is more murder because there is less trust. Monetary, personal, institutional, future, material: true or not, the perception is enough.
A scene graph with script and domain-specific simplifications is a useful tool. It was basically Hypercard v2. Wish parts of the model were integrated into Web standards.
Yes, I'd like to know exactly what part of our current US government is tenable even from within. The only office I can think of is the unitary executive. The Senate was created in the founding father's own words to protect the "opulent from the many". The house is perpetually obstructed by this Senate, the likes of which smarter nations have discarded. But, even the house is captured in such a manner that citizens in more populated states have less representative voting power than slaves during the 3/5 compromise.
What other option is left, aside from rebirth? It's no coincidence that dark forces conspire to now "get out in front" of this zeitgeist and swap the baby in its cradle for something ugly.
