General Discussion

I set a lot of store on common humanity, but this is not logical either.

To the average american of any race, either gender or political orientation as time goes on, even where people (rightly imo, as a lefty feminist who came back to India permanently, prepared only to ever again visit other countries, never migrate) see pragmatically that US immigration is broken, it doesn’t carry water to accelerate climate change, defund family planning.
It looks like an agenda that a bot that was fed the Turner Diaries and asked to design an optimization program based on that came up with.
Where the calculation is that inflaming the racial, religious and cultural tensions caused by refugee crises due to overpopulation in the poorer parts of the world coupled with climate change is more worth it if some demagogue’s agenda is met than allowing stability anywhere.

I empathize deeply with anyone in shitty conditions, but it is common sense left or right that the finiteness of resources cannot be wished away.

But if you look beyond the most cursory, in no way is the GOP with its past of Cato/Aei humping and constant defunding of birth control (birth control is the one thing that can stabilize most parts of the world where non coercive and part of a sane education agenda..) helping with making immigration saner.

There is never a sane conversation and it is a cruel or at least uncomfortable conversation and so rather than forcing it..
This is insane..war, mass deportation centers, defunding birth control, firing scientists.. this ai push.
Even I know from what scientific training I have that were you to look at earth as a ubiquitous computer, they already have data. Collecting more and more data would make identifying meaningful patterns harder and harder.

You gotta have (god I sound so shrill) a smallish proof of concept that works elegantly and reproducibly before you.
Yeesh..

Christopher Ketcham gets it..One of the most relatable characters in The Good Place is a philosophy professor Chidi Anagonye..lol..and he said that his brain constantly makes the sound a fork in a garbage disposal makes..
I get that. Yasha Levine and Christopher Ketcham are two people I can read without that sensation:
