It’s not so much that new tech is bad … new tech could be made to be ten times safer than what we have now.

The problem is that the new tech is controlled by psychopaths who want to squeeze as much profit out of everything imaginable … imagine all that new tech controlling air traffic but its all locked up by proprietary software that would hold entire airports, agencies and governments hostage, or be made available to the highest bidder and even for international opponents or enemies … and all of it up for grabs for profit and regardless of morals, ethics or human decency.

Why don’t developers or developer organizations just keep licenses and rights to certain codes for themselves.

Keep the rights but freely make it available for everyone to use.

But if a company steps in to make anything proprietary, then you exercise your right to the intellectual property of your code and make a decision for yourself … either agree and make money on it (because developers need to make a living as well) … or refuse and with hold the right for certain groups, companies or corporations to use it (and if you do end up in court over it, chances are high that the developer will get money out of that too)

or for rendering AI porn … so much AI porn

Better yet, rent our unused brain space and let corporations use that wasted brain energy for their server farms … great income for the average person who seldom uses their brains. Then we could use that income to buy credits to have AI think for us … circle of life.

Now I want a LA CUCARACHA horn for my vehicle

Are you kidding, the Homer had a domed windshield, two of them! … full 360 degree unobstructed view of the world … what does the cybertruck have? Angles! … The Homer was way ahead of its time

This just shows how dumb our entire world is … that a single man could win or lose so much imaginary money in a single moment, just because enough of us collectively willed it.

It’s another example of why I see modern finances, stock markets and ultra wealth as just our modern day religion.

It’s like ancient civilizations … Babylonians, Sumarians, Egyptians … we look back at their cultures and see them as backwards for believing in sun gods, god kings and divine entitlements

We’re doing the same thing, we just call it the ‘stock markets’, ‘investments’, ‘corporations’ … and it all only exists because enough of us believe in it. And just like the ancient cultures, if enough people stop believing in it … then it means nothing and it loses all its power.

I don’t know why it’s such a difficult thing to grasp or agree with … just place a wealth cap on society everywhere

Let everyone be as greedy as they want to be, let them be ruthless a-holes as much as they want … just give them an upper ceiling of say $10 million … anything more that is taxed 100% and sent back to government and the public for public services like health care, education, infrastructure, etc

Why do we accept that one person gets to own $1 billion or more? Can one person realistically expect to live on and enjoy that wealth? And at that level, what is the purpose of growing it even further? What is the point of massive wealth? It only locks up wealth to a small group of people while withholding it from others.

Ultra wealth is a thing of the past when kings and dukes wanted to rule over the country side … if we want to progress far into the future, we’ve got to stop acting and living like apes fighting over the biggest pile of bananas.

What’s so difficult in arguing that wealth should be shared among as many as possible. And don’t give me that argument of being communist or socialist … I’m talking about a society that is fundamentally no different than the one we already have in the US, Canada or Europe … except for the part that you regulate wealth to an upper limit.

It would all still be the same for 90% of us and it would only severely affect a very small group of people who stand to lose a lot of wealth … it would sacrifice their wealth for the benefit of everyone else. And really, it wouldn’t hurt them at all … the only thing it would damage would be their egos, they’d still live a very well off lifestyle … it’s not like we are asking for them to give a blood sacrifice or to call for their beheading at the guillotine.

What’s so hard to understand about that?

Who are we to say what God can or can’t do … or is capable of or incapable of … maybe they are able to do anything and everything they want and just sometimes does and sometimes doesn’t … or maybe they are just as influenced by the random universe as much as we are

Which means that we can’t know what a being that was at the start of universe is able to do … or even cares.

God opens the door of A RANDOM universe he lad lying around

But he knew that, in creating it, he was also creating the possibility of suffering

If a being is capable of creating anything and everything from the own will, how could they allow suffering to become reality? If creation from nothing is spontaneous and under their full control, why would they allow suffering to enter the equation?

It either means that creation is something that is not under their full control therefore does allow them to be completely omnipotent … or they chose to create a reality with suffering on purpose which provides for some questionable ethics and morality (why create something that will suffer?)

He didn’t wish for suffering, but it was a necessary consequence

if an all powerful being is capable of creating life and reality out of nothing … then you’d think they would have full control over the process. If there was nothing to start with, then how could side effects like suffering enter the process?

Yeah … it’s both … and we won’t do anything until we see mass migration, wars caused by mass migration and thousands of millions of dead or dying. And even then, we’ll probably argue about it all and say that it isn’t that bad and just keeping doing what we’re doing until everything is way too far gone and millions more start dying. We won’t act seriously until we’re at the brink of complete extinction.

99% of us are good people with good common sense, it’s just that we are so easily and quickly manipulated and we don’t care most of the time.

And it’s the 1% of psychopaths with way too much power and control that are driving us all to the brink

I also like the thought that God might also be a child who just accidentally created everything, didn’t know and just forgot about everything.

Our reality might be just a forgotten game save by a kid who has played and is continuing to play endless game files

… and have 40 people (in a total group of 100) that look like you all do the same thing throughout the party

In the Christian biblical sense and beliefs of creation … God created everything out of nothing … which implies that they are capable of creating and controlling everything … the story of Noah is God deciding he didn’t like his creation so they hit the reset button and wiped everyone out

So now we live in a world where so many terrible things are happening … sure there are many good things and good people but there are also an overwhelming number of bad people and bad things making this world very, very uncomfortable … so where is God? Things are worse (or just as bad) now than they were before the biblical flood … so why hasn’t God stepped in to either make things better - or hit the reset button again.

Which then begs the question of the paradox and asks where is God, what are they doing, and why aren’t they doing anything?.. and leads to the ultimate question about God … do they actually exist?

It depends on who has power over who … you don’t have power or control over your coworker … they could slap you in face for taking away their cigarettes … and if they are strong and violent enough, they could punch you in face and knock you out

God may or may not have power over us and if they did, they’d snap their fingers and put us out of existence … which is why the paradox makes you think … if God is all powerful, why don’t they do things to make things better … because if they don’t, then they don’t care … and if they can’t, why call them God?

I don’t think the owners of Reddit care … they got their money, they’ll probably make a bit more even if it fails and then they’ll take their wads of bank notes and wipe their tears away with it all.

The game wasn’t about making a great website, sharing info, making people feel good or spreading knowledge … it was always about just making money and they did just that.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

The feature of that story always made me wonder how girls tried that over the centuries before one girl eventually had her story stick

A community of people praising some local guy as the son of god and repeating that message for 2,000 years and creating a massive global cult that caused wars, genocide and many untold miseries on the population while also enriching, educating and leading global movements
