Major factor of modern history is elimination of the need for humans.
Two tribes mercilessly killing each other in competition for extensive resources did not mean that human life value is zero, it meant the opposite: human lives were very very important these days. That's why the opposite side is killing your people: because they are very important to you and killing them is important military objective. Every soldier life matters and it matters a lot.
Bring back nowadays: humans are not important at all: there is an over-uber-super-abudnance of humans on every single socially meaningful position: programmers, engineers, dockers, miners, teachers. And most importantly, soldiers.
Killing humans became unnecessary and, thus, repulsive deviation. That's the origin of modern humanism
You might wonder what is the relation of this to what you are saying.
It has a direct relationship. Zombie parents, general removal of parenting as an important factor in raising next generation is a direct consequence of utter non-importance of humanity for the future of humanity. Zombie parents are ok because it does not matter how do you raise your children.
A century or two ago absence of the heavy metal belt buckle hanging on the wall meant a crucial importance in the future life of a child - he will become an anti-parvenu -an impoverished aristocrat. Nowadays the presence of the heavy metal album on child's iPhone does not mean anything. Children are raised by the villages, by the "system". Twitting child of slashdotting parents will grow among other twitting children into the society that mainly tweets, why robots are doing the job.
It's not "wicked". It's "unrelated to common good". Unrelated as unit vectors in a million-dimiension space.
There is "common good" and there is a "private good" or "group good". The fundamental hypothesis of libertarians and brain-dead Aynrandianistas is that somehow magically a combination of "group goods" leads to "common good".
Yes. Thanks for formulating this. That's basically the essence of healthy part of Marxist approach to the problem of rapid evolution of capitalism to imperialism.
Imperialism already eliminated competition, so socialism (nationalization) won't hurt anybody.
BTW, besides these two choices there is a niche of "utility" company: regulated much more heavier than the normal company, but not as unmotivated as the government.
Theoretically, one can imagine in a well-govern country a regulation that can significantly optimize the performance of a "utility" company making it to perform noticeably better than both Old Wild West company and government department.
I could have guessed that, given that my Weather Channel app on my phone always tries to sell me the latest product I saw on Amazon Website via my desktop.
They were trying to get modernized for ages now. Many of my Muslim colleagues moved there in the last 10 years attracted by Islamic environment and competitive salary.
Ironically, they will be doing that less now, given the obvious stance of the current king against Shariah.
Looks like the kingdom is following the ill-fated lead of Ottoman empire that ran itself into oblivion by gradually rejecting Islam.
Is it expensive to add automatic load control to electric stations that reduce production?
For example, covers for electric batteries, blocking the wind turbines from rotating, blocking water turbines from rotating, stopping throwing coal into the furnace.
... technological backwardness of government, not excellence of tools or technological awareness of "progressive" masses.
Russia and China have successfully censored their Internet portions. That's a fact. There is near-to-zero opposition in information sphere within Russia and all the activists I have been reading are confined to their Western audiences from their Western blogs.

What is it with drawing indeed? It's XXI century and there are no tools that can replace good old scribbling on a whiteboard with the same efficiency.
You remind me of imbeciles.
And it should be punished harder. Find the hooligans, and hang 'em up with proper inscription tags on all the routes.
Business is not a place for political discussions. Stop any political talk at Google.

Nothing matters anymore.

Why don't get lost, imbecile?
>and the country is doing pretty well
Materialistically, humanity always have been doing pretty well since the primitive times. We have never been to the brink of extinction.
You take a stupid WSJ bropaganda on DJIE as an indicator, I bet.
> With more than 2 billion users, Facebook's reach now rivals that of Christianity and exceeds that of Islam
That's journalism for you. Why not take cell phone users or TV owners or people with two eyes?
I am drowning in the kingdom of imbeciles.
>the whole point of a smart speaker
is to represent American citizens that elected him to the Senate.
Speaking of which, only one vote is needed to overcome Shitpie's ShitFCC NN coup d'tete.

Ah, you are not, ah? That's what I thought: another blithering Western idiot with an opinion on Islam.
Are "clicks" cryptocurrency?
Are you a Muslim?

>Why? Is it not true that it isn't much safer for the environment
It is true. I am against the tone.
Think about this: why any German organizational mishaps immediately become news?
>they have more energy than they can use.
Is it expensive to add automatic load control to electric stations that reduce production?
For example, covers for electric batteries, blocking the wind turbines from rotating, blocking water turbines from rotating, stopping throwing coal into the furnace.
Serious question.
> Save the planet
I will participate in discussions on renewable energy as soon as the phrases like that will stop being modded up.

>The world is a much, much better place because of GNU/Linux!
It's not better. World is never better overall. Technological progress is sideways.
But the date definitely should be 1992, not 1997
> Releasing tons of unrelated stuff that can hurt our objectives and server members is unforgivable
It's praise-worthy, given that US Army is an imperialist global oppression force. Any killing of any US Army servicemen should praised and louded.
