Re: How are longevity predictions tracking?

Thanks for your input. Sounds like my chances look pretty good, then. I do need to sit a lot less... For me, it would be amazing to: 1 - Live all the way to 100. 2 - Shortly after that, live to see January 1st, 2100 - for better or worse, I'd have been alive for all of the 21st century. 3 - Remain ...

Re: USA News and Discussions

This is what happens when a people don't take any responsibility for their standards of living. Why expect other people to do everything for you? What I am saying is any area that is majority black needs to have sound and capable government, tax base and care about their infrastructure. This would ...

Re: All tomorrows / Beware the Qu

Last summer, there was on thread on here that covered a video titled "All Tomorrows" that was created by Alt Shift X. That video was based on a graphic novel of the same name by C.M. Kosemen. The channel whose videos you posted does bite-sized chunks of that same lore. Here's the video tha...

I already posted this. Regardless, I like his presentation style. He's able to properly articulate base principles, and he's not a quack. Unfortunately, those are two things that I cannot say for most singularitarians.

Re: Ukraine War Watch Thread

I feel like this discussion is derailing this thread though, it would be nice to have a thread for discussing this topic though given it's likely to become an everyday part of our lives now we're in Cold War 2.0. Is there a thread already? Yeah, discussions about a nuclear holocaust should take pla...

Re: Ukraine War Watch Thread

Just noticed: By the way, welcome back. ;) Thank you, but no. My sudden comeback was rather a hyper-emotional reaction after reading this (oh, so objective!) thread. Immature from my side and for my age, yes. The more that response was 100% predictable. Already fed up, already regret. Go your way, ...
