Good points. So there's this deep-seated human behavior that leads to religion and/or nationalism. From, perhaps, mammal/primate/human notions of; family, tribe, clan, locality, region, nation, race, world. Mammals are territorial.
(You can ignore this, I'm just jotting down notes while multi-tasking at work.)
Yes, yes, those may be the real reasons in the lead-up to episodes 4, 5 and 6. But if you try to fill episodes 1-3 with a zoning war, you're going to piss a lot of people off.
Thanks for the lucid posting. I'll qft this..."Why are our two most successful theories about the nature of the universe, quantum mechanics and general relativity, incompatible with each other?"...as an elegant summary. One day we'll perhaps have an elegant summary that reconciles the two theories, after, I imagine, we figure out why we can't detect most of our universe.
Okay, so once you've flipped over the sack of groceries in the back seat with g-force and your kid in his car seat is crying because you jarred him. Has the novelty worn off?
No.
If eggs get broken, mommy doesn't let daddy go shopping again.
If kid gets broken, mommy doesn't make daddy babysit.
I'll posit that even if they do get a 500 mile range, it won't be mass produced. What they'll do is shrink the battery until it gets around 280-320 miles, like standard cars, which affords extra room and weight saving.
From another commenter: "Things get a bit more interesting when you look at convicted officials per capita. Then the top five corrupt states are, in order: Louisiana, Mississippi, Alaska, South Dakota, then North Dakota. So the states with the most corruption convictions per capita are small-to-middle sized states"
Aside from having the most corrupt politicians per capita in the country, what else do these states have in common? If you look at the nature and self-identification of the governance, you may notice a trend.

I've had people literally gasp out loud watching what can be done.
And what exactly was it that made them do that?
He created an ASCII picture of a beautiful nude using only one hand.
Pretty much anything to do with the American War of Independence for starters.
I call bs.
Hey! That works pretty well!
Sun Tzu wrote well about deception in warfare and how critical it is.
"anything but his own reputation". I detect a pattern here. (Not Bradley, though. An exception)
Civilian control of, what? Civilization I guess. Use it or lose it.

...Every time, on nearly every topic...
No, that's a lie.

Birds flock, not herd.
Ah yes, good point...the old "hidden agenda" trick, detected by the "follow the money" algorithm.
Some day dumb people should be just set up to vote in fake elections. They won't know.
The irony, oh god.
Kudos. Your statement is full of pith.
Oblig.

Ha! Brillant! Kudos to dem gubmint johnnies.

Humans have evolved to be the worst-tasting animal on the planet. Even sharks spit us out nine times out of ten, and they'll eat anything.
It's the defense mechanism that lets us waste our time building civilizations instead of staying in caves worrying about saber-toothed tigers.
Nonsense. They're delicious and nutritious. Tastes just like chicken.
Hah! Reminds me of the late 90's when MS was fighting the internet and tried to co-opt the acronym "DNS" for Dynamic Network Systems or some such.

S'cool, bro.

Nice analogy.
Kudos, sir and/or madam, you caught a fine string!
If you really believed that, you would not post as AC.
What does being AC have to do with it?
I've been on ./ since pre-Y2K and have never bothered with an account: does that make the conviction of my beliefs any less authentic?
Yes. If stated anonymously.
With no social history and no chance for any, there's no way for anyone to gauge whether the "beliefs" are valid, or somebody is just trollin'.
Personally, I believe that the GP was trolling and he got some bites. Kudos to the AC, I guess.

What the heck is "selfish governance"?
I think it's the new politically correct term for what democracy leads to.
I guess I'd better get it into Wikipedia asap so it becomes real. Can I reference your post so my article isn't considered Original Research?
