“Probably not dumb” love the honest appraisal of unknown variables. I’m like the science fan in big hero 6. Not smart enough to do science but smart enough to enjoy it.

This clock concept is still so abstract I don’t know what the “clock” could possibly be or look like

Yeah. I read that multiple times and still have no idea what he’s talking about but it’s the most important part of the article

I don’t mean to have an emotional fist fight, and I think Israel has a bad track record for avoiding civilian casualties to say the least, but I don’t understand what Israel would have to gain by using expensive bombs on a cemetery. Just making sure we remain credible in our criticism of israel

Edit: thank you for the replies guys. It helps me understand what looked like a propaganda article at first glance

I liked “Leave the World Behind”. It felt like an art movie and I’m always impressed by movies that show how confusing and frustrating it is to be in a crisis situation

Now this is the kind of critical thinking I strive for. Fuck both of them

Yes, but Hamas did start the war so it’s not that simple

Couldn’t agree more

Ok but I’m a democratic socialist… should be a red flag about the assumptions you’re making

I am referring to America which prides itself on freedom (and not enough on equality and collectivism) . I’m just saying it makes legal sense that you don’t need the consent of every other motorist to operate a self-driving car (if it passes safety regulations and assuming no problems of regulatory capture). Both of those assumptions are not applicable here

They said “for some reason it’s legal to push [self driving cars in general] on unwilling participants”. That’s what I’m addressing

Dude. You’re clearly not understanding the nuance of my point

I’m saying that you don’t need everyone else’s permission to drive a safety regulated self-driving car. That’s it. I’m not talking about the Tesla

Oh hell yeah if it’s unsafe. I’m making the finer point that saying “you don’t have the right to drive that car next to me cuz it makes me feel weird” is overstepping

True about “free country” being used to justify a society controlled by extreme wealth. And I’m talking about another persons right to “drive” a self-driving car next to me. Not about these guys objectively being criminally ass-hole-y

Yeah but that is beyond what anyone would consider reasonable

I get it there’s inevitable interference of interest here but we can’t really tell other people to not do things we don’t like in a free country

Edit: this is clearly being misinterpreted. I am NOT talking about the Tesla. I’m saying a hypothetical, well-regulated self-driving car can be fielded without the permission of every other motorist that thinks they’re icky.

Well you have to worry about it less, at least

Is there a community for survival stuff like this?
