why reform?
why not revolution?
let me guess, cos personality type
then why is your type better than my type?

reduce all three multiplicative factors in the I = PAT equation (population, affluence/consumption, and the use of environmentally malign technologies)
bill gates:
CO2 = P x S x E x C
P = People<br /> S = Services per Person<br /> E = Energy per Service<br /> C = CO2 per Energy
paul ehrlich:
I = PAT
P = Population<br /> A = Affluence, weight of destructive technology<br /> T = Technology destroying nature
humanely
fuck off with your "pretty" solutions
we tried this the last 10k years, and it was a DISASTER
society could revert to the sort of conditions that prevailed in the Dark Ages, with fundamentalist religions and local despots playing a greater and greater role in human affairs
at least with "local despots", people know who is the boss, who is responsible
in contrast to the faceless bureaucracy of large organizations (cities, states, corporations)
national governments could be so weakened that they would be replaced by something resembling feudalism with a strong overlay of tribalism
good news
megavillages are the problem (cities, states)
villages are the solution = 150 people = dunbar's number
villages must be isolated from neighbor villages, so we need tribal warfare
rely much more on nation-scale cooperative ventures
long distance dependencies, "petrol from africa", "products from china"
aka colonialism, imperialism
simply don't care
dead already, but still alive
followers with weak opinions
unable to grasp humanity's plight
the stupid majority
urbanization
village = 150 people
city > 150 people
dunbar's number
population pressures and the political stability of nations
weapons of mass migrations, attack on welfare states
democracy as a form of government will be at risk
wtf?
democracy, socialism, pacifism ... are part of the problem
What do we gain by playing "environmental roulette"
innocent suicide.
by producing more and more humans, we kill all humans.

“In the short term we’re pretty clearly going to be based in physical reality and I certainly wouldn’t recommend abandoning it,” Chalmers says. “But in the longer term, it’s possible to imagine people spending most of their lives inside virtual reality.”
translation:
most people will survive the next few years, but in maybe ten years, most of them will be dead.

Once muscle and ligament have been sliced away, the head can be cleanly removed by gripping it on either side and twisting it off
eww
If any of my workers wants to drink, he must leave the village to do so!
NIMBY. not in my back yard.
there's no simple system
then all systems are wrong.
truth is simple.
most popular
popular != correct.
except you believe in majority vote.
Many researchers have set out to answer this question
oh really? where? what keyword?
institutions are eager to promote any successful research
yeah.
what about the "unsuccessful" research?
what about the "high risk" proposals?
-> publication bias.
well known
mainstream, established, "old", elitist, "professional" (first you must study five years and earn your LICENSE = diploma), exclusive, highly selective, "biased" (to what?), "conservative", fear of embarassment ("we dont do pseudoscience!"), dogmatic, slow, cautious, "realism over idealism"
non-survival
play, playful, homo ludens
hierarchic
trees
necessarily controversial
because no one wants to admit he is a "stupid" "dyadic-thinker". at least not in public.
rarely significant
because all "higher" complexity can be expressed as recursion of triadic relations ("double-linked lists"), which is NOT possible with dyadic relations ("single-linked lists")
complexity
quantity versus quality ... serial versus parallel processing
simple binary correlations
dyadic
at the same time
parallel processing
does not focus on “triads”
... but on dyads = dyadic relations = black-white thinking = subject-object relations = ...
Opinion
strong opinion
Who
yea, who??
who is gonna reinvent https://web.hypothes.is/
but considering moving to nixos

After applying a git-filter-repo to replace a mail address in a whole repository, I found out that ALL the commit where considered to be replaced.
as expected
when rewriting git history, you also change the parent
fields of child commits, like in a git rebase
