The super intelligent cockroaches are gonna wrap us into a cocoon and lay their eggs into us, kinda like some wasps do it today to cockroaches, then it's gonna be the cockroaches doing it to humans. They are gonna keep humans, or whatever it may become of humans in 3 billion years, as domesticated farm animals. Their only envy is gonna be the lung/blood air transport system of humans and mammals, as the tracheal network of a bug puts a heavy limit on size, and brain size, but as long as their 6 inch brain will be more interconnected than a 60 inch human brain, they'll have no problem outsmarting us, or hunting us down in wolf packs. There is nothing more formidable as a predator against humans than a full wolf pack set on making dinner out of one, not a shark, not a tiger or jaguar, not a polar bear (the smartest of bears). Usually wolf attacks are by single, stray wolves, but if the whole gang unites, good luck. So 3 billion years from now when a gang of 2 ft height, 6 inch brained tracheal cockroaches unite to trap you as prey, good luck to you, my friend.
I feel your pain dawg. I got an empty lot that's too small to be buildable by today's standards, but it used to have a house on it that had grandfathered right to be as far as lot size was concerned, but not by other code violations, such as the neighborhood peeling off the boarded up stuff from the windows, and filling the house with used rubber tires and constantly breaking in the front door and leaving it swung wide open, so inspectors entered and found even more stuff, such as chimney needs tuck pointing. So it was demolished over code violations, and I was charged for the demolition cost, and even when I mowed the lawn when it was still standing, they still came out the very next day and re-mowed it, plus they removed some flowering bushes from the edge of the property, and charged me for all this. So now all I got is an empty lot, with like $100/year property tax and about $1500/year lawn mowing. And the land bank will not accept lot donations unless the lot has a house standing on it, and all back taxes are paid. I wasn't paying lawn mowing taxes for a while, and they put my property into foreclosure, about to mess up my credit with it, and just in time I started making payments to avoid getting my credit fucked up over this lawn mowing blackmailing..If it does enter into foreclosure, the land bank gets it, but they first mess your credit up with it, they won't let you just donate it.
My first priority in life is to find a place to live where lawn mowing is not mandatory by city ordinances, preferably where there is no city to even have fucking ordinances. Also no sewer system, because the blackmailing that the water and sewer department does is also bullshit. Also no local income tax, work city, residence city. There are such places in the USA.
I am halfass vegetarian and I have ideological problems with mowing lawns, such as increased US dependence on foreign oil, and hurting bugs by not allowing flowering plants to live. Everybody is deep in debt, yet they find the fucking money to mow lawns. Lawn mowing is a big fucking waste of time, waste of gasoline, and waste of bugs. Every flower in the world means a bug with a sucker on her face, be it a butterfly or a bumblebee, etc.. And the rule is not uniformly enforced, because there are patches around the city as I drive around, such as along the highways inside the city, where the grass stands knee high, and there are flowers, so unless they beat every square inch of land in this state down to the required lawnmowing height of what is it, 2 inches? So unless they enforce it uniformly everywhere, they are discriminating against me, they are picking on me. And good luck with beating it down everywhere, as some of the grass that's knee high or bushes are on steep ground with an over 60 degree incline, and it'd be kinda hard to get a lawnmower up there. But not impossible. So unless they enforce the rules uniformly on every square inch of land within state borders, or county borders, or city borders, they don't have any business not letting my lot have knee high grass with flowers and bees and butterflies on it.
In my mind tall grass, with a variety of natural flora and fauna is fucking gorgeously beautiful. Every time I see a completely green mowed lawn, all I see is desert, a flower desert that certain bugs that have been around from before the time or dinosaurs, cannot live without. What you call weed, or jungle growth, it is magical beauty to me, and what you call a pretty mowed lawn, that is absolute ugliness of horror in my mind. And horror especially when it comes to my wallet. But we live in a democracy, with majority vote, and if there are 999 idiots voting against 1 of you and you think you're right, it's still the 999 idiots that win, and you gotta pay up to fit in with the community. But I'm not gonna cut grass on that lot, especially since it's tainted, they demolished my house on it against my will. Eminent domain and all that. In my own and everyone's best interest, it's best to have the lot empty, and force me to keep paying
We don't know how to make chips in the US. At least not competitively. And all I see is strong brick buildings or bridges that were built to last forever demolished, instead these new fast rusting galvanized steel based contraptions erected everywhere. The US is setting up for a takeover by black and hispanic people, and a massive economic collapse, and the last thing they are gonna build here is another 10 story built like a castle brick building or never rusting stone bridge, let alone a chip foundry. There is still another 20-50 years to go though, and nobody cares about sustaining the good life and maintaining wealth in the US as the Obamas. Because they will inherit it, based on population growth rates, and this is still the best place anywhere in the world for blacks, and hispanics, not anywhere in Africa or Latin America.
All I can say is "duh." Btw China is just playing catchup, just like with space exploration, and now with snooping, as every time I see Intel Inside, or AMD, guess what? It's rigged, the same way, snooping or modifying your data, and not much you can do about it. The only chip you can trust is the one you make. And the US military is dependent on all this Mitutoyo and Doosan chip based things. I'll take a mechanical dial instrument over an LCD one lately, and also a Seiko self winding mechnanical watch with jeweled friction bearings, like http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEIKO-... , if it weren't so damn expensive compared to a quartz/battery watch. A standalone quartz based watch is still more secure than relying on your cellphone for time, for things such as the alarm going off and not being late from work, as I've caught my cell phone's alarm feature not working when it was crucial, and it was set to go off but it didn't.
I didn't mean to imply that the guys that make a lot of money on software had anything to do directly with Gary Kildall's death. It was probably similar in situation to how a Stefi Graf women's tennis fan stabbed Monica Szeles in the shoulder muscles back in the 90's. Kain is everywhere, killing Able, simply because he's able - when you're supposed to make smoke that rises to the sky, the fastest way to winning is to kill everyone whose smoke rises up more than yours. Are you your brother's keeper?
I can personally attest that going by that list the US does not meet the definition of a free country either. Surprise!
But the anthem still says "the land of the free and the home of the brave." More like the land of the we can't compete in this global economy against people who don't have EPA, OSHA, housing cost, healthcare costs, or even insurance, taxes, utility or car related costs, like car payments, car insurance, gasoline, and car repair. And welcome to this list is Obamacare! Now we're even better fit to compete, with even more standard costs dragging us down by raising our minimum wage sky high.
I wonder how long til we change anthems. A lot of countries regularly change anthems.
I my earlier posts I've said about how Moon mining is to be done, or at least started off small scale to get materials for larger scale buildings. It's sort of a response to a NASA challenge over a decade ago for lunar oxygen extraction from regolith, mainly anorthite (CaAlSiO4x), or JPL-1 simulant. The process is calcium thermite with just about any silicate dust, then calcium oxide electrolysis in one of 3 ways: 1. room temperature Castner Kellner cell to get calcium amalgam, but the amalgam stripping side lithium ion battery solvents to get metallic calcium. 2. Rhenium (or Iridium is more abundant) anode molten calcium fluoride/oxide electrolysis with calcium cathode under vacuum relative to the normal vapor pressure of calcium. 3. the usual CaCl2 electrolysis with gradually raised cathodes (else the Ca metal dissolves back), then burning the Cl2 to HCl with hydrogen, then reacting the HCL with CaO to get water and CaCl2, and electrolyze the water. The metallic alumino-silicon slag that gets left behind from the thermite reaction has to be high temperature vacuum extracted for Mg, Na, K, then the remainder Si, Al, Fe, Ti needs to get chlorinated and distilled to separate out the individual elements, including ultrapure silicon for solar, aluminum for mirror, and iron and titanium for structural components.
I think it was just the centrifugal force as the Moon goes round and round the Earth, it's like the Moon has hair, and it's flying outwards, on the outward side. (See if you can find what's wrong with this argument, in a gravitational field.)
Not just software patents. Patents on having your cat chase a laser pointer dot. A million people can come up with the same thing, and not bother to patent it, then one guy decides to patent it, and the other million have to pay him for it? It's ridiculous, because ridiculous things should not be patented. They should have very strict rules on what can be patented, such as a drug, a technical manufacturing process, or a technical device, that's novel. I came up with the same idea, with a playful cat, and later I found out there was a patent. So what, now I'm supposed to negotiate with the intellectual property holder about royalty fees? And he can charge me anything he feels like as back-dues? Couple million dollars for playing with a cat and a laser pointer? Or is the patent office gonna step in and regulate royalty fees now too? How about Microsoft/IBM screwing Gary Killdall out of DOS. Or copying the look and feel of Apple in Windows? Even with patents and intellectual property about them, things get circumvented in an oh, come on, the original guys deserve some credit for their inventions, so to speak. How much money did Gary Killdall get from the Microsoft/IBM gang for DOS? Diddly squat, instead he got killed in a Kain-like jealous style, for wearing a Harley Davidson jacket in a bike bar where that was a nono. Yes, in the US of A there are places where wearing Harley clothes is a big mistake. Really? Is that the best excuse you could come up with to kill him? Was he such a saint, you couldn't find any other fault with him? How about Apple, for creating the visual interface the Windows plain old copied? How much did Apple get paid? Wait, they did get paid by MS around 2000 that rescued them from bankruptcy, in a way to create a sock puppet make believe competition to the government antitrust lawsuit, because a company like Apple was better than Linux as the only other choice for computing, before the rise of pay by the minute or pay by click smart phones, There were a ton of people testifying about gangster practices of Microsoft. So under such circumstances, where the biggest moneymakers make their money by pretty much just raping other people's ideas how do you even claim to have intellectual property protection. You claim intellectual property, the gangsters show up and take it from you, and they forbid you and everyone else from using it. That's all intellectual property is in today's world. We no longer live in the times of Watt, where some kind of decency was expected, in fact even then it had a major retarding effect on the progress of the world. Back in the day you had "secrets." Like the secrets of paper making by Chinese, or porcelain making, that were subsequently rediscovered and duplicated by Europeans too, without paying royalty intellectual property fees to the Chinese over it. And in fact why would they? It was like competition, and whoever can come up with something, or copy it off someone else, go at it as much as you can. Which is what Microsoft does anyway with any new software trend - they killed Netscape dead with Internet Explorer, they dominated Apple's visual interface, Lotus 123, Wordperfect, now they are trying to kill Oracle's Java with Dotnet. Intellectual property? What intellectual property? It's all out competition, copy all ways of doing things that you can. That's what happens anyway, just like back in the day with Chinese porcelain. And what's wrong with such a world?
They are going by bs - a dog sniffed out a hidden child porn storage device. And of course everyone in the world can be framed if necessary, but it's better if it's not framing, but he acutally has beaten around the bush, like creating a general picture about the individual. Like if he looks at porn online, keep feeding him pages with children. If he buys a computer on ebay, fill it up with "barely legal" porn and some "warez" and give it to him like that. Make sure he can no longer buy his favorite safety razor anymore, and keep sending him to brainwashing sites about how cheap and "cool" razor blades, the old style you sharpen with a stone, are. Also when he's on google books keep feeding him serial killer novels or at least intricate political treachery and backstabbing novels, when he searches for "chemistry", "encyclopedia" "mechanical machinery," and try to get him to get a CDL, so you can send him on a route where the fresh bodies from the morgues can be laid as cadavers whereever he's given a route, in fact the availability of such a fresh young corpse is what determines which way he gets a shipment next, and this way you can erase anyone. False witnesses are simple, also fake child porn usb flash drives, but it's more comforting to have some actual substance to it, some of it hard to explain away, such as being caught with your pants down. Or at least having a dangerous hobby, like mountain climbing, skiing, or even fishing will do, anything, anything.. violence, drugs, sex offender, child porn, financial fraud, speeding, driving without insurance, practicing free speech that's offensive or might be taken the wrong way, or at least out of context.. there is a shitlist by Da Man to eliminate anyone who's a threat to his world domination quest, if, by nothing else, by running their mouth on Slashdot. And don't believe just because some of you post as Anonymous Coward, they don't know exactly who said what when, don't assume that.
If you can figure out to sustainably and independently live in the vacuum of outer space - such as farming on a rotating space station made of titanium/steel cylinders, at least 2 layered walls rotating/sliding on top of each other (so when a meteorite going 20 miles per second punches a hole through both, the holes get misaligned and the leakage is slow), about 1000 ft radius and 2 miles long, each segment (so that you can evacuate from one isolation unit to another as it goes to vacuum), with many "floors" internally (centrifugal force, i.e. artificia gravity, increases toward the edge as omegasquared-r, so floors can have different speeds, and near the center a fast crazy coriolis force floor for martial arts and near the edge a heavy weight workout room, but the very center weightlessness nonspinning), with a parabolic light collectors casting a shade on the whole cylinder, and piping light through mirrors and conduits near the ends/center of the cylinder inside for farming, and solar panels in abundance to the side for artificial lighting and power (i think solar panels + lightbulbs have lower efficiency of light overall than a polished aluminum parabolic collector), everything fully recycled and autonomous, with outside physical contact only say once a year or every 5 years (and that requires a deadly disease a longer than 5 year incubation period to spread and kill the space station humans if it kills everyone else, and there are such diseases, like syphilis takes a long time for symptoms to develop, and it's called the great imitator diseases), nonphysical social contact such as radio and internet 24/7/365, it would be a pretty livable thing to do. By the way it's only a matter of time to get hit by lightning or by a meteorite by everyone down here on Earth, but the chances are so small that most people make it safely to death. Ditto for a space station, though because of non-meteorite-burning-atmosphere-protection, the chances are indeed higher. Also, at $10,000/lb shipping and handling via the shuttle from Earth, (some people are talking $800/lb foreseeable in the near future) all the construction materials have to come from the not so deep gravity well miracle nearby, called the Moon. So a material extracting Moon base is of paramount importance. I have no clue what the cost of S/H from the Moon would be, but you're probably talking 100x less, especially since, without an atmosphere, continuous acceleration on the ground to a high velocity that shoots off into orbit is possible, and then you don't really need rocket fuel for that, but a nuclear power plant will provide electric propulsion just fine. For a nuclear power plant the cooling is the biggest issue, and it would have to be a geothermal or lunathermal cooling from a mobile platform plant that keeps moving to fresh cold areas as it saturates the underground with heat. Nuclear on the cylinder rotating space station is very difficult, and full electric silicon solar panel is the best option there. The Moon is made up of mostly the same stuff as Earth, on the surface O, Si, Al, Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, K, Ti, and some S, Cl, Mn, P, and then everything else. Though if the center of the Moon is not molten, and the Moon was initially formed from a Massive impact shooting the guts of Earth out into orbit, it might be possible to tunnel all the way to its center without a molten lava around you, and find some Iridium, osmium, platinum, gold, uranium, thorium, etc segregated near the center, if it was in a molten state when it got ejected and had time to stratify, and the ejected part truly came from the center of the Earth, and not from off to the side, if the whole thing came from an impact in the first place. But imagine so much platinum that everyone (7 billion people) could have a fuel cell, and platinum silverware and dishes that never rust. There is lots of stuff to look forward up there, especially lots of real estate and room, and then you can talk humanity numbering in the 100 trillion people or more range, with only 7 billion stuck down on the reservation call
Or the Jetsons with flying cars. Hey I'm still driving to work,not flying like the Jetsons, and with these gas prices, thinkin about downgrading to a 120 mpg 66cc gas bicycle, for the days when the weather is good. I think you know the change happened when the military robots get out of hand and kill everybody around you. Like in the movie Screamers, 1996. For any new technology, the military is always the first one to try it out - flying, nuclear power, etc, and especially intelligent robot soldiers. This is by far the biggest threat to humanity's existence in the coming centuries, the 2nd is biotech(or just bacterial evolution) getting out of hand (which you can solve by running away to living in outer space,) and everything else is piece of cake compared to these two threats, including the nuclear holocaust threat (which you can also easily run away from by living in outer space, but, learning from Chernobyl, and the radioactive animals living happily there, it's not such a big deal unless you really really contaminate up the world, even then it's not as dangerous as biotech.) Living in outer space, even if only a few hundred people, is mandatory in face of the biotech and nuclear threat, but there is no good answer, other than abstinence, to the artificial intelligence threat. Just don't fuck with it.
Battery operated ones? How long do the batteries last on your electric mowers and weed eaters before needing replacement? 5 years? And how fast do they recharge? 10 minutes? I know I know, you're just sarcastic, and high power electric things, like electric mowers and electric clothes dryers all run off a power chord. Even electric trains all run off of a power chord, none of them are battery operated. Though a train could lug around a couple of these lithium ion battery pack freight cars, and drop them off at stations to get recharged. But it's cheaper for trains to just electrify the track, for now at least, until they can make the cost of battery plus recharging station cost less per mile than electrifying the track plus charging station for the track.
It'd be nice if you could do with a car what you can do with an electric mower, and just drag an extension cord behind you where ever you're going. Or have many plug in sockets along the way, like each mile, plug in to one, go the mile, unplug, plug into the next one, go a mile, and the traffic going backwards picks up and takes the chords the other way. Your only problem would be circular statistical traffic patterns, where going one way is not the same as coming back. How about electrified highways with overhead power lines like tram rails and trolley buses. With a trolley bus you really gotta watch your driving or you rip the overhead cables down.
Do a google image search for "mind diagrams" for some quality bullshit about how team focused brainstorming is done these days. Brainstorming with a mind diagram is even bigger bs, even more blowing smoke up each other's asses than doing Powerpoint presentations. What a waste.
I think it's not a disorder like ADHD or extrovert/introvert bullshit. Back in the old days people had to go to church, and sit for a whole friggin hour listening to the same exact stuff every single Sunday, except for 15 minutes in the middle somewhere, when the preacher did his preaching, and there was original content in it, variety. But that exercise teaches people to learn how to sit for 15 minutes and not shock themselves, but learn how to daydream. This story might have been better if they said 67% of males would rather shock themselves then sit a whole hour listening to boring Sunday mass at a Catholic Church. And no, the mass is not supposed to be an entertainment value, like a lot of English priests started getting desperate and telling jokes during preaching, just to attract more worshipers. Some people can make it really entertaining though, like Joel Osteen, but not everybody got talent like that. And it's okay.
By the way I myself used to go out into the woods all alone a lot, and was happy as I could be, all alone in the middle of nature, but it was not boring, there are lots of interesting details around you in nature, like rocks, plants, animals, some are harder to notice. I can't say the same thing of a rubber room absolute quiet solitary confinement in a prison cell, but that would only get boring after like 20 years, because you got all this stuff to think about that you never had time to think through, and it takes about that long to run out of new things to think about, unless you got a good book, mind boggling stuff like number theory, and then you never run out of ways to amuse yourself. And that kind of solitary thinking is what's required to write a good book. Mental thought digestion, mental thought masturbation, and thought vomiting unto a page. It's hard to write a good book while you're constantly talking to somebody else, and there is this idea in the business world that the greatest mindblowing thoughts and concepts arise from board room meetings and team brain storming. No, solitary brainstorming and slow letters to your peers, kind of like the correspondences in the days of Fermat, is what creates quality value and true innovation.
The only problem with these people is that nobody ever taught them the miracle of thinking by yourself, instead of constantly yadda yadda yadda running your cockgobbler talking with someone else. That's what women are supposed to do, constant yadda yadda yadda, and it's okay if they do it, back in the caveman days they were left at the cave and were constantly social interacting with children and between themselves, but the study finds the statistics backwards, the men are more than twice more likely to get bored out of their minds than the women. The men used to go off hunting or gathering, and were quiet a lot to assess danger and the situation, with nonverbal signs, or patiently waiting during a hunt for hours. Even as farmers going to the fields required creating a mental world for yourself and living in it, while the women stayed home back at the village talking to the children all the time. It's funny how in today's team-based society we end up with so many feminine males that constantly chit chat. I think they should repeat the study locking two people in the same room, and let them talk. I bet there would be almost no button pushing. Also letting them have their smartphone - zero self shocking! Unless it's interesting to shock yourself, for the curious, and then I'd do it myself too, just to explore, just to know more. So in that sense, the men are the danger seeking explorers and domain expanders, and it's ok if they shock themselves. It all depends on how interesting it is to a curious mind.
But in either case, if it's ADHD for extrovert activity and pushing the button, or autism for not pushing the button, there is a pill to correct the balance in either case, all you need is an expert with DSM-IV mental disorder evaluation chart to score you, and deem you 41% extrovert, 59% introvert, and then the correct dose of meds can be decided to make it a healthy 50/50.
Archie bunker and union jobs and stay at home moms are not possible in today's economy of minimum wage, when it takes 2x minimum wage to sustain a household, but two people, a monogamous working mother and husband, might have been able to pull it off, if they got lucky and never got sick. Also with the divorce rate sky high, women are forced to become career women, but they don't have to take crappy treatment from their men by being dependent on them, but the kids suffer, and you end up with less and less quality workforce, because they are raised by the media and not by their parents, or at least their local priests.
By the way life is based on both a sort of ROM chip technology, called DNA, that mutates very slowly, and volatile RAM based technology, called the flu shot trainable immune system, and the volatile memory acquiring and forgetting brain. In the ROM area, the X chromosome, (the female being XX, the male being XY, and females almost never being colorblind because at least one of the X variation copies functions well) is critical, and contains all the basic functions of life, such as energy production, mitochondrial DNA and mutates extremely slowly, and successful variability in it has been carefully preserved in things like counting women as property and not killing them in a war but instead "looting them" and taking them with you (btw. a woman soldier with an Uzi or Kalashnikov or M16 is equalized to a male, and is not a noncombatant valuable property, or a "women and children first" above all property and male crew in importance "being," so her X chromosome variability will get X'd out pretty quickly.) The male is XY, and the wastable Y chromosome contains the brainpower and education, because mammalian human females get bogged down 9 months per offspring, and those that start at age 12 and 13 outcompete those that start at age 42 a few years before menopause in voting power (meaning all kinds of other power, mass presence power,) so a 12 year old female does not have the time to get a full college education in timewasting math and philosophy (she's still very good at psychology and english as mind control tools), instead she has to rely on the discardable 52 year old male Y chromosome who had another 40 years to get fully educated, to defend her, come up with new technology for her and think for her. A male reaches peak in sexlife at age 21, a female at age 30, but a female fully stops near age 45 (as she has to stick around with the baby, but a father is not necessary, or could be anywhere at the end of 9 months, let alone end of 20 years), while a male stays reproductive able til the end of his life (though there is a story of King David in the Bible, where in his old age they brought to him an absolutely gorgeous naked teenage girl, and he could no longer get it up anymore, even though he was very active in his youth (see this image http://th02.deviantart.net/fs7... )). Often the male is not available to help out raising the family, especially in a society where the divorce rate is over 50%. (So that leaves the female and the grandma on the mother's side of the family. Nobody cares about a child like his own mother and his grandma, and such separation was by far the greatest cruelty of the slavery in the US, and after the civil war the first thing people did was try to find old family members. Serfdom in medieval Europe did not separate families, even if the nobility landlords were free to enter the household and take 10% of everything they found as a military defense fee, and that included raping some of the female family members sometimes.) So the male is often not available. That is why the Pope sticks up for abstinence (yeah right, it's more like pretend-abstinence, as in don't openly discuss your masturbations with people you work with or your friends, and repress open social acceptance of sexual exuberance like gay/lesbian sex and marriage, even if it happens in the background, don't talk about it, especially not in a teletubby tinkie winkie is gay way, ma! what's gay mean?), monogamy (yeah, the father should stick around with one woman, unless he can keep his women from catfighting and living in the same larger households, like some men in Africa can pull it off, but monogamy is simpler, especially in an everyone is equal and equally broke way, polygamy is very expensive, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?...), and women should try to focus on being mothers from a young age, instead of higher education, and police and military service. That'
I blame surveillance technology for it. I can't even pick my nose at a red light anymore, a camera is staring at me, for my own security. As the means of mass control, thought control become stronger, the guys in charge fear less and less or a rebellion and are willing to exercise stronger and stronger abuse of power and oppression. One of the great tools is smart phones and texting - as in can you imagine a Ukrainian-like social turmoil in the US without the authorities instantly knowing about it from everybody texting it? And whoever talks crap, like most of the nerds are Slashdot, can be surgically removed and disconnected from the rest? Freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by the very first amendment? Yeah right, and yeah right for good reason, because even the declaration of independence says such political turmoil should not be taken lightly, rebellion and violence for no good reason is just a waste. The biggest problem with free speech is free speech to an uneducated public who can act like a mindless mob, and if you were talking to totally educated and self controlled individuals, acting in a Sartre-like responsible way, no amount of free speech thrown at them should be able to make them rebel unless they were willing to rebel even in the absence of it anyway, when they can form their own opinions regardless of what words are thrown at them. But as George Carlin says, promoting education is not in the interest of the powers that be, the powers that be just want people smart enough to push the buttons, but not smart enough to realize how badly they are getting screwed. By the way the only thing that cannot be taken from you is what you know, but in fact, even that can be taken, through memory erasing drugs or lobotomies. That's the ultimate battle frontier, the mind, not the body.
Also, suppose there was a big bang, and all matter started out as hydrogen at 3 K temperature. What's the equilibrium temperature when all the hydrogen is converted to Ni 62 or Fe 56? It's certainly no longer 3K, unless the conservation of energy does not stand. If there is such a thing as thermal heat death of the Universe as predicted by Thompson, (Lord Kelvin) and the 2nd law of thermodynamics, this equilibrium heat death may be of a very hot temperature, at which not the most stable nuclide would release the most free energy, i.e. not the most stable nuclide at 3K, but most stable at that hot temperature, and this may be neither Fe 56 nor Ni 62. If the 2nd law stands forever, that is, and is not violated by some Maxwell demon-like microprocess that goes on forever, that is a perpetuum mobile of the 2nd kind, without having to burn up and convert any more hydrogen to higher elements to keep going and going ad perpetuum. That could mean life ad perpetuum, meaning everlasting, permanent.

The super intelligent cockroaches are gonna wrap us into a cocoon and lay their eggs into us, kinda like some wasps do it today to cockroaches, then it's gonna be the cockroaches doing it to humans. They are gonna keep humans, or whatever it may become of humans in 3 billion years, as domesticated farm animals. Their only envy is gonna be the lung/blood air transport system of humans and mammals, as the tracheal network of a bug puts a heavy limit on size, and brain size, but as long as their 6 inch brain will be more interconnected than a 60 inch human brain, they'll have no problem outsmarting us, or hunting us down in wolf packs. There is nothing more formidable as a predator against humans than a full wolf pack set on making dinner out of one, not a shark, not a tiger or jaguar, not a polar bear (the smartest of bears). Usually wolf attacks are by single, stray wolves, but if the whole gang unites, good luck. So 3 billion years from now when a gang of 2 ft height, 6 inch brained tracheal cockroaches unite to trap you as prey, good luck to you, my friend.
I feel your pain dawg. I got an empty lot that's too small to be buildable by today's standards, but it used to have a house on it that had grandfathered right to be as far as lot size was concerned, but not by other code violations, such as the neighborhood peeling off the boarded up stuff from the windows, and filling the house with used rubber tires and constantly breaking in the front door and leaving it swung wide open, so inspectors entered and found even more stuff, such as chimney needs tuck pointing. So it was demolished over code violations, and I was charged for the demolition cost, and even when I mowed the lawn when it was still standing, they still came out the very next day and re-mowed it, plus they removed some flowering bushes from the edge of the property, and charged me for all this. So now all I got is an empty lot, with like $100/year property tax and about $1500/year lawn mowing. And the land bank will not accept lot donations unless the lot has a house standing on it, and all back taxes are paid. I wasn't paying lawn mowing taxes for a while, and they put my property into foreclosure, about to mess up my credit with it, and just in time I started making payments to avoid getting my credit fucked up over this lawn mowing blackmailing..If it does enter into foreclosure, the land bank gets it, but they first mess your credit up with it, they won't let you just donate it.
My first priority in life is to find a place to live where lawn mowing is not mandatory by city ordinances, preferably where there is no city to even have fucking ordinances. Also no sewer system, because the blackmailing that the water and sewer department does is also bullshit. Also no local income tax, work city, residence city. There are such places in the USA.
I am halfass vegetarian and I have ideological problems with mowing lawns, such as increased US dependence on foreign oil, and hurting bugs by not allowing flowering plants to live. Everybody is deep in debt, yet they find the fucking money to mow lawns. Lawn mowing is a big fucking waste of time, waste of gasoline, and waste of bugs. Every flower in the world means a bug with a sucker on her face, be it a butterfly or a bumblebee, etc.. And the rule is not uniformly enforced, because there are patches around the city as I drive around, such as along the highways inside the city, where the grass stands knee high, and there are flowers, so unless they beat every square inch of land in this state down to the required lawnmowing height of what is it, 2 inches? So unless they enforce it uniformly everywhere, they are discriminating against me, they are picking on me. And good luck with beating it down everywhere, as some of the grass that's knee high or bushes are on steep ground with an over 60 degree incline, and it'd be kinda hard to get a lawnmower up there. But not impossible. So unless they enforce the rules uniformly on every square inch of land within state borders, or county borders, or city borders, they don't have any business not letting my lot have knee high grass with flowers and bees and butterflies on it.
In my mind tall grass, with a variety of natural flora and fauna is fucking gorgeously beautiful. Every time I see a completely green mowed lawn, all I see is desert, a flower desert that certain bugs that have been around from before the time or dinosaurs, cannot live without. What you call weed, or jungle growth, it is magical beauty to me, and what you call a pretty mowed lawn, that is absolute ugliness of horror in my mind. And horror especially when it comes to my wallet. But we live in a democracy, with majority vote, and if there are 999 idiots voting against 1 of you and you think you're right, it's still the 999 idiots that win, and you gotta pay up to fit in with the community. But I'm not gonna cut grass on that lot, especially since it's tainted, they demolished my house on it against my will. Eminent domain and all that. In my own and everyone's best interest, it's best to have the lot empty, and force me to keep paying
We don't know how to make chips in the US. At least not competitively. And all I see is strong brick buildings or bridges that were built to last forever demolished, instead these new fast rusting galvanized steel based contraptions erected everywhere. The US is setting up for a takeover by black and hispanic people, and a massive economic collapse, and the last thing they are gonna build here is another 10 story built like a castle brick building or never rusting stone bridge, let alone a chip foundry. There is still another 20-50 years to go though, and nobody cares about sustaining the good life and maintaining wealth in the US as the Obamas. Because they will inherit it, based on population growth rates, and this is still the best place anywhere in the world for blacks, and hispanics, not anywhere in Africa or Latin America.
All I can say is "duh." Btw China is just playing catchup, just like with space exploration, and now with snooping, as every time I see Intel Inside, or AMD, guess what? It's rigged, the same way, snooping or modifying your data, and not much you can do about it. The only chip you can trust is the one you make. And the US military is dependent on all this Mitutoyo and Doosan chip based things. I'll take a mechanical dial instrument over an LCD one lately, and also a Seiko self winding mechnanical watch with jeweled friction bearings, like http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEIKO-... , if it weren't so damn expensive compared to a quartz/battery watch. A standalone quartz based watch is still more secure than relying on your cellphone for time, for things such as the alarm going off and not being late from work, as I've caught my cell phone's alarm feature not working when it was crucial, and it was set to go off but it didn't.
I didn't mean to imply that the guys that make a lot of money on software had anything to do directly with Gary Kildall's death. It was probably similar in situation to how a Stefi Graf women's tennis fan stabbed Monica Szeles in the shoulder muscles back in the 90's. Kain is everywhere, killing Able, simply because he's able - when you're supposed to make smoke that rises to the sky, the fastest way to winning is to kill everyone whose smoke rises up more than yours. Are you your brother's keeper?
I can personally attest that going by that list the US does not meet the definition of a free country either. Surprise!
But the anthem still says "the land of the free and the home of the brave." More like the land of the we can't compete in this global economy against people who don't have EPA, OSHA, housing cost, healthcare costs, or even insurance, taxes, utility or car related costs, like car payments, car insurance, gasoline, and car repair. And welcome to this list is Obamacare! Now we're even better fit to compete, with even more standard costs dragging us down by raising our minimum wage sky high.
I wonder how long til we change anthems. A lot of countries regularly change anthems.
You know how to tell if someone is a spy, if you're a slashdotter, and she's trying to talk to you?
She's fucking hot, very smart, and loves adventure.
Why would a woman need 4 dildos? She only has 3 holes to fill at the same time.
And I'm using cat 5 right now, as I'm typing this. Easiest way to defend against wireless hacking, just use a wire.
I wish I had my own basement.

I my earlier posts I've said about how Moon mining is to be done, or at least started off small scale to get materials for larger scale buildings. It's sort of a response to a NASA challenge over a decade ago for lunar oxygen extraction from regolith, mainly anorthite (CaAlSiO4x), or JPL-1 simulant. The process is calcium thermite with just about any silicate dust, then calcium oxide electrolysis in one of 3 ways: 1. room temperature Castner Kellner cell to get calcium amalgam, but the amalgam stripping side lithium ion battery solvents to get metallic calcium. 2. Rhenium (or Iridium is more abundant) anode molten calcium fluoride/oxide electrolysis with calcium cathode under vacuum relative to the normal vapor pressure of calcium. 3. the usual CaCl2 electrolysis with gradually raised cathodes (else the Ca metal dissolves back), then burning the Cl2 to HCl with hydrogen, then reacting the HCL with CaO to get water and CaCl2, and electrolyze the water. The metallic alumino-silicon slag that gets left behind from the thermite reaction has to be high temperature vacuum extracted for Mg, Na, K, then the remainder Si, Al, Fe, Ti needs to get chlorinated and distilled to separate out the individual elements, including ultrapure silicon for solar, aluminum for mirror, and iron and titanium for structural components.
I think it was just the centrifugal force as the Moon goes round and round the Earth, it's like the Moon has hair, and it's flying outwards, on the outward side. (See if you can find what's wrong with this argument, in a gravitational field.)
Kids, let's all learn to respect each other and live in peace and harmony!
Not just software patents. Patents on having your cat chase a laser pointer dot. A million people can come up with the same thing, and not bother to patent it, then one guy decides to patent it, and the other million have to pay him for it? It's ridiculous, because ridiculous things should not be patented. They should have very strict rules on what can be patented, such as a drug, a technical manufacturing process, or a technical device, that's novel. I came up with the same idea, with a playful cat, and later I found out there was a patent. So what, now I'm supposed to negotiate with the intellectual property holder about royalty fees? And he can charge me anything he feels like as back-dues? Couple million dollars for playing with a cat and a laser pointer? Or is the patent office gonna step in and regulate royalty fees now too? How about Microsoft/IBM screwing Gary Killdall out of DOS. Or copying the look and feel of Apple in Windows? Even with patents and intellectual property about them, things get circumvented in an oh, come on, the original guys deserve some credit for their inventions, so to speak. How much money did Gary Killdall get from the Microsoft/IBM gang for DOS? Diddly squat, instead he got killed in a Kain-like jealous style, for wearing a Harley Davidson jacket in a bike bar where that was a nono. Yes, in the US of A there are places where wearing Harley clothes is a big mistake. Really? Is that the best excuse you could come up with to kill him? Was he such a saint, you couldn't find any other fault with him? How about Apple, for creating the visual interface the Windows plain old copied? How much did Apple get paid? Wait, they did get paid by MS around 2000 that rescued them from bankruptcy, in a way to create a sock puppet make believe competition to the government antitrust lawsuit, because a company like Apple was better than Linux as the only other choice for computing, before the rise of pay by the minute or pay by click smart phones, There were a ton of people testifying about gangster practices of Microsoft. So under such circumstances, where the biggest moneymakers make their money by pretty much just raping other people's ideas how do you even claim to have intellectual property protection. You claim intellectual property, the gangsters show up and take it from you, and they forbid you and everyone else from using it. That's all intellectual property is in today's world. We no longer live in the times of Watt, where some kind of decency was expected, in fact even then it had a major retarding effect on the progress of the world. Back in the day you had "secrets." Like the secrets of paper making by Chinese, or porcelain making, that were subsequently rediscovered and duplicated by Europeans too, without paying royalty intellectual property fees to the Chinese over it. And in fact why would they? It was like competition, and whoever can come up with something, or copy it off someone else, go at it as much as you can. Which is what Microsoft does anyway with any new software trend - they killed Netscape dead with Internet Explorer, they dominated Apple's visual interface, Lotus 123, Wordperfect, now they are trying to kill Oracle's Java with Dotnet. Intellectual property? What intellectual property? It's all out competition, copy all ways of doing things that you can. That's what happens anyway, just like back in the day with Chinese porcelain. And what's wrong with such a world?
They are going by bs - a dog sniffed out a hidden child porn storage device. And of course everyone in the world can be framed if necessary, but it's better if it's not framing, but he acutally has beaten around the bush, like creating a general picture about the individual. Like if he looks at porn online, keep feeding him pages with children. If he buys a computer on ebay, fill it up with "barely legal" porn and some "warez" and give it to him like that. Make sure he can no longer buy his favorite safety razor anymore, and keep sending him to brainwashing sites about how cheap and "cool" razor blades, the old style you sharpen with a stone, are. Also when he's on google books keep feeding him serial killer novels or at least intricate political treachery and backstabbing novels, when he searches for "chemistry", "encyclopedia" "mechanical machinery," and try to get him to get a CDL, so you can send him on a route where the fresh bodies from the morgues can be laid as cadavers whereever he's given a route, in fact the availability of such a fresh young corpse is what determines which way he gets a shipment next, and this way you can erase anyone. False witnesses are simple, also fake child porn usb flash drives, but it's more comforting to have some actual substance to it, some of it hard to explain away, such as being caught with your pants down. Or at least having a dangerous hobby, like mountain climbing, skiing, or even fishing will do, anything, anything.. violence, drugs, sex offender, child porn, financial fraud, speeding, driving without insurance, practicing free speech that's offensive or might be taken the wrong way, or at least out of context.. there is a shitlist by Da Man to eliminate anyone who's a threat to his world domination quest, if, by nothing else, by running their mouth on Slashdot. And don't believe just because some of you post as Anonymous Coward, they don't know exactly who said what when, don't assume that.
If you can figure out to sustainably and independently live in the vacuum of outer space - such as farming on a rotating space station made of titanium/steel cylinders, at least 2 layered walls rotating/sliding on top of each other (so when a meteorite going 20 miles per second punches a hole through both, the holes get misaligned and the leakage is slow), about 1000 ft radius and 2 miles long, each segment (so that you can evacuate from one isolation unit to another as it goes to vacuum), with many "floors" internally (centrifugal force, i.e. artificia gravity, increases toward the edge as omegasquared-r, so floors can have different speeds, and near the center a fast crazy coriolis force floor for martial arts and near the edge a heavy weight workout room, but the very center weightlessness nonspinning), with a parabolic light collectors casting a shade on the whole cylinder, and piping light through mirrors and conduits near the ends/center of the cylinder inside for farming, and solar panels in abundance to the side for artificial lighting and power (i think solar panels + lightbulbs have lower efficiency of light overall than a polished aluminum parabolic collector), everything fully recycled and autonomous, with outside physical contact only say once a year or every 5 years (and that requires a deadly disease a longer than 5 year incubation period to spread and kill the space station humans if it kills everyone else, and there are such diseases, like syphilis takes a long time for symptoms to develop, and it's called the great imitator diseases), nonphysical social contact such as radio and internet 24/7/365, it would be a pretty livable thing to do. By the way it's only a matter of time to get hit by lightning or by a meteorite by everyone down here on Earth, but the chances are so small that most people make it safely to death. Ditto for a space station, though because of non-meteorite-burning-atmosphere-protection, the chances are indeed higher. Also, at $10,000/lb shipping and handling via the shuttle from Earth, (some people are talking $800/lb foreseeable in the near future) all the construction materials have to come from the not so deep gravity well miracle nearby, called the Moon. So a material extracting Moon base is of paramount importance. I have no clue what the cost of S/H from the Moon would be, but you're probably talking 100x less, especially since, without an atmosphere, continuous acceleration on the ground to a high velocity that shoots off into orbit is possible, and then you don't really need rocket fuel for that, but a nuclear power plant will provide electric propulsion just fine. For a nuclear power plant the cooling is the biggest issue, and it would have to be a geothermal or lunathermal cooling from a mobile platform plant that keeps moving to fresh cold areas as it saturates the underground with heat. Nuclear on the cylinder rotating space station is very difficult, and full electric silicon solar panel is the best option there. The Moon is made up of mostly the same stuff as Earth, on the surface O, Si, Al, Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, K, Ti, and some S, Cl, Mn, P, and then everything else. Though if the center of the Moon is not molten, and the Moon was initially formed from a Massive impact shooting the guts of Earth out into orbit, it might be possible to tunnel all the way to its center without a molten lava around you, and find some Iridium, osmium, platinum, gold, uranium, thorium, etc segregated near the center, if it was in a molten state when it got ejected and had time to stratify, and the ejected part truly came from the center of the Earth, and not from off to the side, if the whole thing came from an impact in the first place. But imagine so much platinum that everyone (7 billion people) could have a fuel cell, and platinum silverware and dishes that never rust. There is lots of stuff to look forward up there, especially lots of real estate and room, and then you can talk humanity numbering in the 100 trillion people or more range, with only 7 billion stuck down on the reservation call
Or the Jetsons with flying cars. Hey I'm still driving to work,not flying like the Jetsons, and with these gas prices, thinkin about downgrading to a 120 mpg 66cc gas bicycle, for the days when the weather is good. I think you know the change happened when the military robots get out of hand and kill everybody around you. Like in the movie Screamers, 1996. For any new technology, the military is always the first one to try it out - flying, nuclear power, etc, and especially intelligent robot soldiers. This is by far the biggest threat to humanity's existence in the coming centuries, the 2nd is biotech(or just bacterial evolution) getting out of hand (which you can solve by running away to living in outer space,) and everything else is piece of cake compared to these two threats, including the nuclear holocaust threat (which you can also easily run away from by living in outer space, but, learning from Chernobyl, and the radioactive animals living happily there, it's not such a big deal unless you really really contaminate up the world, even then it's not as dangerous as biotech.) Living in outer space, even if only a few hundred people, is mandatory in face of the biotech and nuclear threat, but there is no good answer, other than abstinence, to the artificial intelligence threat. Just don't fuck with it.
Battery operated ones? How long do the batteries last on your electric mowers and weed eaters before needing replacement? 5 years? And how fast do they recharge? 10 minutes? I know I know, you're just sarcastic, and high power electric things, like electric mowers and electric clothes dryers all run off a power chord. Even electric trains all run off of a power chord, none of them are battery operated. Though a train could lug around a couple of these lithium ion battery pack freight cars, and drop them off at stations to get recharged. But it's cheaper for trains to just electrify the track, for now at least, until they can make the cost of battery plus recharging station cost less per mile than electrifying the track plus charging station for the track. It'd be nice if you could do with a car what you can do with an electric mower, and just drag an extension cord behind you where ever you're going. Or have many plug in sockets along the way, like each mile, plug in to one, go the mile, unplug, plug into the next one, go a mile, and the traffic going backwards picks up and takes the chords the other way. Your only problem would be circular statistical traffic patterns, where going one way is not the same as coming back. How about electrified highways with overhead power lines like tram rails and trolley buses. With a trolley bus you really gotta watch your driving or you rip the overhead cables down.
Do a google image search for "mind diagrams" for some quality bullshit about how team focused brainstorming is done these days. Brainstorming with a mind diagram is even bigger bs, even more blowing smoke up each other's asses than doing Powerpoint presentations. What a waste.
I think it's not a disorder like ADHD or extrovert/introvert bullshit. Back in the old days people had to go to church, and sit for a whole friggin hour listening to the same exact stuff every single Sunday, except for 15 minutes in the middle somewhere, when the preacher did his preaching, and there was original content in it, variety. But that exercise teaches people to learn how to sit for 15 minutes and not shock themselves, but learn how to daydream. This story might have been better if they said 67% of males would rather shock themselves then sit a whole hour listening to boring Sunday mass at a Catholic Church. And no, the mass is not supposed to be an entertainment value, like a lot of English priests started getting desperate and telling jokes during preaching, just to attract more worshipers. Some people can make it really entertaining though, like Joel Osteen, but not everybody got talent like that. And it's okay.
By the way I myself used to go out into the woods all alone a lot, and was happy as I could be, all alone in the middle of nature, but it was not boring, there are lots of interesting details around you in nature, like rocks, plants, animals, some are harder to notice. I can't say the same thing of a rubber room absolute quiet solitary confinement in a prison cell, but that would only get boring after like 20 years, because you got all this stuff to think about that you never had time to think through, and it takes about that long to run out of new things to think about, unless you got a good book, mind boggling stuff like number theory, and then you never run out of ways to amuse yourself. And that kind of solitary thinking is what's required to write a good book. Mental thought digestion, mental thought masturbation, and thought vomiting unto a page. It's hard to write a good book while you're constantly talking to somebody else, and there is this idea in the business world that the greatest mindblowing thoughts and concepts arise from board room meetings and team brain storming. No, solitary brainstorming and slow letters to your peers, kind of like the correspondences in the days of Fermat, is what creates quality value and true innovation.
The only problem with these people is that nobody ever taught them the miracle of thinking by yourself, instead of constantly yadda yadda yadda running your cockgobbler talking with someone else. That's what women are supposed to do, constant yadda yadda yadda, and it's okay if they do it, back in the caveman days they were left at the cave and were constantly social interacting with children and between themselves, but the study finds the statistics backwards, the men are more than twice more likely to get bored out of their minds than the women. The men used to go off hunting or gathering, and were quiet a lot to assess danger and the situation, with nonverbal signs, or patiently waiting during a hunt for hours. Even as farmers going to the fields required creating a mental world for yourself and living in it, while the women stayed home back at the village talking to the children all the time. It's funny how in today's team-based society we end up with so many feminine males that constantly chit chat. I think they should repeat the study locking two people in the same room, and let them talk. I bet there would be almost no button pushing. Also letting them have their smartphone - zero self shocking! Unless it's interesting to shock yourself, for the curious, and then I'd do it myself too, just to explore, just to know more. So in that sense, the men are the danger seeking explorers and domain expanders, and it's ok if they shock themselves. It all depends on how interesting it is to a curious mind.
But in either case, if it's ADHD for extrovert activity and pushing the button, or autism for not pushing the button, there is a pill to correct the balance in either case, all you need is an expert with DSM-IV mental disorder evaluation chart to score you, and deem you 41% extrovert, 59% introvert, and then the correct dose of meds can be decided to make it a healthy 50/50.

Archie bunker and union jobs and stay at home moms are not possible in today's economy of minimum wage, when it takes 2x minimum wage to sustain a household, but two people, a monogamous working mother and husband, might have been able to pull it off, if they got lucky and never got sick. Also with the divorce rate sky high, women are forced to become career women, but they don't have to take crappy treatment from their men by being dependent on them, but the kids suffer, and you end up with less and less quality workforce, because they are raised by the media and not by their parents, or at least their local priests.
By the way life is based on both a sort of ROM chip technology, called DNA, that mutates very slowly, and volatile RAM based technology, called the flu shot trainable immune system, and the volatile memory acquiring and forgetting brain. In the ROM area, the X chromosome, (the female being XX, the male being XY, and females almost never being colorblind because at least one of the X variation copies functions well) is critical, and contains all the basic functions of life, such as energy production, mitochondrial DNA and mutates extremely slowly, and successful variability in it has been carefully preserved in things like counting women as property and not killing them in a war but instead "looting them" and taking them with you (btw. a woman soldier with an Uzi or Kalashnikov or M16 is equalized to a male, and is not a noncombatant valuable property, or a "women and children first" above all property and male crew in importance "being," so her X chromosome variability will get X'd out pretty quickly.) The male is XY, and the wastable Y chromosome contains the brainpower and education, because mammalian human females get bogged down 9 months per offspring, and those that start at age 12 and 13 outcompete those that start at age 42 a few years before menopause in voting power (meaning all kinds of other power, mass presence power,) so a 12 year old female does not have the time to get a full college education in timewasting math and philosophy (she's still very good at psychology and english as mind control tools), instead she has to rely on the discardable 52 year old male Y chromosome who had another 40 years to get fully educated, to defend her, come up with new technology for her and think for her. A male reaches peak in sexlife at age 21, a female at age 30, but a female fully stops near age 45 (as she has to stick around with the baby, but a father is not necessary, or could be anywhere at the end of 9 months, let alone end of 20 years), while a male stays reproductive able til the end of his life (though there is a story of King David in the Bible, where in his old age they brought to him an absolutely gorgeous naked teenage girl, and he could no longer get it up anymore, even though he was very active in his youth (see this image http://th02.deviantart.net/fs7... )). Often the male is not available to help out raising the family, especially in a society where the divorce rate is over 50%. (So that leaves the female and the grandma on the mother's side of the family. Nobody cares about a child like his own mother and his grandma, and such separation was by far the greatest cruelty of the slavery in the US, and after the civil war the first thing people did was try to find old family members. Serfdom in medieval Europe did not separate families, even if the nobility landlords were free to enter the household and take 10% of everything they found as a military defense fee, and that included raping some of the female family members sometimes.) So the male is often not available. That is why the Pope sticks up for abstinence (yeah right, it's more like pretend-abstinence, as in don't openly discuss your masturbations with people you work with or your friends, and repress open social acceptance of sexual exuberance like gay/lesbian sex and marriage, even if it happens in the background, don't talk about it, especially not in a teletubby tinkie winkie is gay way, ma! what's gay mean?), monogamy (yeah, the father should stick around with one woman, unless he can keep his women from catfighting and living in the same larger households, like some men in Africa can pull it off, but monogamy is simpler, especially in an everyone is equal and equally broke way, polygamy is very expensive, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?...), and women should try to focus on being mothers from a young age, instead of higher education, and police and military service. That'
I blame surveillance technology for it. I can't even pick my nose at a red light anymore, a camera is staring at me, for my own security. As the means of mass control, thought control become stronger, the guys in charge fear less and less or a rebellion and are willing to exercise stronger and stronger abuse of power and oppression. One of the great tools is smart phones and texting - as in can you imagine a Ukrainian-like social turmoil in the US without the authorities instantly knowing about it from everybody texting it? And whoever talks crap, like most of the nerds are Slashdot, can be surgically removed and disconnected from the rest? Freedom of speech and expression guaranteed by the very first amendment? Yeah right, and yeah right for good reason, because even the declaration of independence says such political turmoil should not be taken lightly, rebellion and violence for no good reason is just a waste. The biggest problem with free speech is free speech to an uneducated public who can act like a mindless mob, and if you were talking to totally educated and self controlled individuals, acting in a Sartre-like responsible way, no amount of free speech thrown at them should be able to make them rebel unless they were willing to rebel even in the absence of it anyway, when they can form their own opinions regardless of what words are thrown at them. But as George Carlin says, promoting education is not in the interest of the powers that be, the powers that be just want people smart enough to push the buttons, but not smart enough to realize how badly they are getting screwed. By the way the only thing that cannot be taken from you is what you know, but in fact, even that can be taken, through memory erasing drugs or lobotomies. That's the ultimate battle frontier, the mind, not the body.
Also, suppose there was a big bang, and all matter started out as hydrogen at 3 K temperature. What's the equilibrium temperature when all the hydrogen is converted to Ni 62 or Fe 56? It's certainly no longer 3K, unless the conservation of energy does not stand. If there is such a thing as thermal heat death of the Universe as predicted by Thompson, (Lord Kelvin) and the 2nd law of thermodynamics, this equilibrium heat death may be of a very hot temperature, at which not the most stable nuclide would release the most free energy, i.e. not the most stable nuclide at 3K, but most stable at that hot temperature, and this may be neither Fe 56 nor Ni 62. If the 2nd law stands forever, that is, and is not violated by some Maxwell demon-like microprocess that goes on forever, that is a perpetuum mobile of the 2nd kind, without having to burn up and convert any more hydrogen to higher elements to keep going and going ad perpetuum. That could mean life ad perpetuum, meaning everlasting, permanent.
