    Just raising this back to the top 🧠🧐
  2. Horseshit
  3. Which is far easier and far more likely when you purposely install leaders who are loyal sycophantic yes-men across all of the top layers of the chain of command.
  4. Even Trudeau has been pushed out of power in Canada. Even Canucks are not immune from charlatan right wing extremism
  5. The President of Congo just offered the United States ownership of his country’s minerals to entice President Trump to put an end to the war backed by Rwanda. Congo holds more than half the world’s Cobalt and Colton. They also have substantial deposits of Gold, Copper, Tin, Lithium, etc. China currently has a considerable influence in Congo’s mineral sector, and before them, it was the Europeans. https://x.com/behizytweets/status/1893351121386905911?s=46&t=QjfV_ZHNvP2ulzJ-j8JFcg
  6. Depends on whether the entire country as a whole became a state or if individual provinces each became states, but it’s moot bc it won’t happen. It’s all trolling to distract us from the more heinous shit they’re doing.
  7. And access to competitor data

    I cannot join you in that conclusion https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3956087/

    Ask 10 different people what it means and you'll get 12 different answers.

    Then, yes. Bees are that.

    How are you defining consciousness?
  12. Pro: He's human and therefore mortal. Con: We’re unlikely to confirm his mortality today.
  13. That was his point, IINM. It was tongue in cheek. Trump and cronies will simply blame Biden for their own failures even though it's chronologically impossible... and their fans will eat it up without any hint of scrutiny or irony.
  14. They do now
  15. And the theory of sexual selection doesn’t explain why cigarettes cause cancer. So the eff what
  16. Greenland belongs to Denmark, and Denmark has been one of the single biggest backers of Ukraine. They significantly increased their military spending and used the extra funds to give more weapons to Ukraine for defense. It’s not entirely unreasonable to think Trumps focus on Greenland was a negotiation ploy intended to gain leverage and get Denmark to pull back their huge levels of support for Ukraine and help Putin.
  17. It also requires us to clearly define what constitutes life and what are the boundaries of those metrics between "is life" and "is not life." So, we could do all kinds of things in a lab only to have our fair contributor here move the goal posts and say, "yeah but THAT's not life."
  18. Are you unaware of how comparisons work?
  19. Incorrect Incorrect
  20. 65 years ago was different and the central planning post was talking about today / last decade or so
  21. There isn’t one He defines success using a different metric You’ll get nothing and like it.
  22. And still the answer to your OP is that it very much depends on who is doing the planning, how well they coordinate with one another, as well as the quality, timing and robustness of the information they have available when making their plans.
  23. That’s a great point. AI too is already making even our modern approaches look downright Mennonite by comparison so this will only continue to improve (at least for those with access to large troves of data for training them)
  24. Based on what I can see from the outside looking in, it appears to me that he’s simply using it to drive info and posts on the X platform, and from their to train his AI. Were I a betting man, I’d wager a large sum that his team is applying his Grok 3 “scary smart” xAI model to analyze this massive trove of new government data, allow one to query it for support of whatever preferred ideology they hold, and to gain a competitive edge against rival mega companies like openAI, meta, and Gemini (aka alphabet/Google)..
  25. The Soviet system was appealing to many and seemingly looked good on paper, but as with most systems suffered from human greed and fallibility. The idea of spreading peanut butter too thin comes to mind. Everything overall was less good bc the metrics of success were improperly set. They suffered also from the added issue of a tiny few in power reaping and consolidating inequitable benefits for themselves and their cronies at the expense of both fairness and the wellbeing of millions of others not similarly close to power.
