While I remain agnostic of Elon's argument I would like to know what is the matter with this absolutism of vision. Who ever said that the entirety of our 'reality' has to be simulated? That's just BS.
You have to think in human terms, our extremely limited senses can be easily simulated, ever wondered why we have almost no conscious perception or control over our 'inner' biological functions? Simple: code optimization. Do the planets/outer space really need to 'exist' while you have breakfast ? Not really. There are just a handful of items that need to 'read' the universe... namely telescopes and such, and most of them are just displaying visible light 'images' of what's outside.
So easy to cheat... Do atoms really need to be simulated during your daily activities? Looking at what we can do with CGI and so forth times 10k years, not really. And the list could go on forever. I find disturbing this 'modern' trend of black or white vision. It's either all or bust.... Hollywood films too much?
Capitalism IS flawed, and if it's not the system logic per se, it's the crooked greedy bastards who run most of it...that's why the trickle down economy is uber bullshit...go ask the 0.1% fuckers who run their shit in panama and the likes to evade tax and outsource/pollute everything in 2/3rd world countries. Fuck it.
'secret services' and the likes should be completely eradicated from modern society. The sole idea that there 's something 'hidden' working behind the scene means that who's in power is not behaving transparently in the first place... just the idea of 'secret' anything makes me throw up...we are born equal and we shall remain so...
the king james fucking bible bullshit? really? ffs....we should put a stop to this irrational bullshit being propagated....damn religious virus..../ rant
I am already at my 4th computer Os conversion to linux (mint/ubuntu). I must use window for work purposes but anything else (and family/older relatives) are being converted to linux. Watch out M$..
agreed... in the last bunch of years audience quality dropped significantly...I suspect a whole bunch of IFLS and fanboys are swarming everywhere..Truth is almost never a pure color...and science is a complex matter... I appreciate the work people like deGrasse are doing...but they should remember we don't need to create a generation of closed minded did-you-publish-1000-papers-already 'scientists'... or it will be worse than religion... sometimes world changing discoveries still come out one 'crazy' genius or even by the amateur botanist.. science should be inflexible in repeatability and logic, but not carry other dogmas or elitist behaviours..
I would put my money on the guys at General Fusion (http://www.generalfusion.com/)....it seems a less tricky way to extract energy and create pulsed fusion blasts rather than the other methods. Most of the tokamak design are focused on sustaining plasma, they don't even go past how to extract high energy from it, even the ITER is highly speculative in that regard. The acoustic/mechanical system has the energy extracting part already built-in in the plasma creation stage (the molten lead is used both to propagate the pressure waves and as heat exchange medium to run a steam turbine.... If I had some spare millions I'd definitely try this one eheh:)
we really needed moral superiority complex hackers....there's no hope for humanity...someone is always going to have the need to shove down someone else throat their views.... no matter how 'smart'.... hope the aliens nuke this shithole asap...
the vast majority of GMO are not tailored to resist specific natural pests, leading to a decrease use of pesticides, it's exactly the opposite... GMO are usually engineered to be highly resistant to a specific type of pesiticide (round up anyone) so that we can flood the crops to our heart content with it... no thanks.

1 trillion is being wasted for useless military crap equipment, but we happily discarded the build of the OWL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overwhelmingly_Large_Telescope) for 1.5bn......and countless other scientific projects... sad sad humanity.......
I propose this solution, in the castle of math it just means switching a couple of different special cases, nothing more.
But it certainly makes more sense. You are multiplying or dividing by a non quantity, thus you are not performing the operation and your X remains the same. Simple as pie.
Another example of math confusion is including 2 in the prime number sequence. It's a mistake performed only to abide to preexisting dogmas. 2 is clearly an even number, the correct sequence is 1,2,3,5... etc./end rant
with starting a grassroots revolution that involves dismantling the status quo..... some tailored busting, false flag action..and off it goes... these tools are too powerful to be put in the hands of a government, no matter how 'nice'.
the important thing is that 'mitigation' doesn't turn into mega corporations taking control of the new, next-level artificial climate 'service' ? Excellent!!.....feeling sick already..

I wonder why none thought of those...they look much sturdier and if that mesh fails it will be in spots only... plus with 50years later materials.... look to me they could have done a maybe better job....
Thanks capitalism, infinite growth in a closed system ideas.... and all the 'screw this planet we going to enjoy endless singing in the rings of heaven when we die anyways' bandwagon... we are in a damn closed system, we should start to LIMIT things... think 10 times over before we embrace some crazy 'lets move 1 billions containers full of replicable goods trough the globe because we can'.... (and because the 1% just get wealthier ).... fuck all this.... we are playing Russian roulette with our heads everyday...... fucking sad human race...
that Sir is so good!!!! I am so fed up of IFLS websites with their zealots approach... science and expecially physics is _experiment based_ if they send the bloody drive in space and it moves... then as you said we change the goddamn textbooks. I am so fed up of these new armchair crusaders.....if someone is smart or lucky enough to come up with a crazy but working experiment he doesn't necessarily have to be able to explain the whole theory behind it, that could be someone else job. Sorry zealots but reality wins...always.
with a place like saudi arabia and all the bloody religious fanatic countries the ONLY thing we should export are BOOKS...books and fucking books again. And THEN after everyone damn reads them all and LEARN and understands how things works in a civilized world , we start to talk some actual business....
we are empowering states that if could have their way would bring humanity back to 1000AD... we are doing it thinking that we'll always have the upper hand....but if our side of the gear glitches.. I'lll be glad to see the heads of the military and politicians who enoforced these collaborations roll in the dust....
/rant on
fuck this crap, people... fuck all this military shit...seriosuly..we need other things in this world, not this nonsense...
we could have free housing and food for everyone...they are not privileges..they are what everyone needs and should have. Work is just slavery and you know that, money is the ultimate enslavement tool. Wake up people.... fuck the 1% and their war shit.. and fuck religion fanatics too...
we're so far from autonomous thinking machines...so damn far..... these reports just hinders the developments in a field that's already slow to progress....
this should not happen..... really.....fucking luddite crusaders...
no one should ever get punished in any form for his/her thoughts nor writings nor drawings, under no circumstances. Thought is the very last freedom bastion and should be held highest among everything...

with the Australian fascist government/nanny state... burn/vanish culture... good job mates.... :/
