  • Ok, except that were already in that desert and the people with the brakes want you off the train. AI and automation are happening. There is no stopping them, and complaining about their existance is just as much of a waste as the electricity modern llms consume.

    Its not an option. Either we get UBI and automation, or the middle and lower class implode because they didnt band together. Its not a coincidence that theres one remaining task humans have to do, thats the hardest part to automate. But its absurd to think it cant be automated, as humans are able to do it. If a human can do it, a machine can be programmed to do it better. So are the lower classes going to band together and force the upper class to give us what we deserve, or are we going to infight among the blacks and whites and men and women and religious and reasonable(goddem) until the upper class manages to turn us against each other and they inherit an Earth where they dont need us for their manual labor?

    Yeah, being “good” doesn’t just happen, it takes an effort to specifically become “good”. Your natural state is just that, natural. Neither good nor bad. It happens that bad choices are often the easiest, which tends to mean that people that dont make an effort to be a good person tend to slip into being bad people. Not because they wanted to be bad, but because they didnt make enough of an effort to be good. “Just trying to survive” by its very nature means you are not actively engaging in benefitting others lives, which fundamentally means you are not a good person.

    Not everyone who is “just trying to survive” is bad, but by not making an additional effort to be a good person, they are excluding themselves from being so.

    Edit: minor addendum, i am a bad person because i no longer believe that my choices have a serious chance at improving the world, and therefore i do not go out of my way to make said choices as i used to.










  • Thats because it is wrong, youve hit the nail on the head. Anything that is sweet activates certain receptors on your tongue, and that stimulates the production of insulin. That insulin is then going to travel your body looking for sugars to break down. Thing is, insulin only breaks down sugars, not artificial sweeteners. So its going to break down sugars elsewhere in your body or leave free insulin in your blood. That fucks you up good and leads to diabetes.

    ALL ARTIFICAL SWEETENERS ARE BAD, unless you already have diabetes.
