Concurring the sea is not a new idea. For thousands of years, man has been exploring the sea and utilizing it’s resources.
Unfortunately, we have yet to fully use the oceans to their full capability. Today they are not only a way for us to travel, gather oil and eat; but are a way of succession.
The state is mans largest barrier to freedom and success. This is why many libertarians the like have put huge efforts into politics, particularly the Ron Paul’s campaign’s for presidency.
While I like Ron Paul and think the campaign for liberty has achieved huge feats in spreading the ideas of free markets and individual rights, I do not think it is enough.
Most people are not libertarians. In fact most people love the state in some form or another. The ideals of heavy regulation and welfarism are as ingrained in both parties as the drive for unnecessary military expansion. Trying to achieve our goals through this manner could very well take a century or more.
Science and engineering have solved more problems that political action. States claim about the entire planet, but not all of the oceans. This is possible.
Seasteading sounds expensive and that’s because it is, at least at first. At it’s inception, the average citizen will not be able to live there. But after some time it will be possible for more people to live this. I believe this is at least as worthy to talk about as the Ron Paul campaign.
I’ve been pondering this lately.
If people live in an environment that looks nice, how much more satisfied are they with themselves and their positions? I personally find its a big part of how I feel about where I am.
Not to mention human aesthetics, which are incredibly influential.
idk
We know what people mean when they say space, but things like Einsteins idea of gravity seem to imply modern physicists, or at least a large portion of modern physicists, believe that space is a substance that can be affected by atoms. Usually they say it “bends”.
I personally find the bending space model to be inconceivable, even if space is a substance.
Now, it’s not impossible that what we call space is actually just another type of matter. This would also fit with the idea that space is expanding. Space expanding into space makes no sense, although it could just imply that matter is traveling further and further. This would mean that matter somehow “reveals space”. But this is not what most Big Bang proponents seem to mean.
I think the language of modern physics is way to foggy. Sometimes it seems that even they get confused on what everyone else is saying.
Can humans really call themselves advanced until we can grow two more arms?
If you have four arms but you lose two arms is it as bad as losing one arm if you originally had two arms?
Goro has four arms but only three fingers - is this a trade off?
When I was a cashier, it was not the most fun job in the world. It did, however, have a few little perks.
For example, that look on a persons face when you tell them their coupon has expired. Priceless. They’re whole reason for coming to the store and spending money on crap they don’t need melts right in front of them. Now instead of being a “smart shopper” they can see themselves as just another dumb ass.
for those who don’t want to live through their own bodies rotting away
unless they find a cure for aging
I’m fucking tired of bugs. These things are horrible in about every way possible. Why have we not eradicated these things once and for all?
Aesthetically they range from sickening to terrifying. Butterfly’s have nice wings, but the rest of them is gross.
They are small, therefore for creepy. I never know where a bug is or what its doing or why its doing it. There are like a million types of insects and they all do something horribly unique.
Some have stingers and or might bite you. Some inject poison into you. Some spread disease. Some suck your blood. Some eat your house.
People bring up that bugs are necessary to our survival or something natural order. This may be true to an extent, but not fully. We could easily kill a lot of bugs and we should.
I have many self destructive behaviors. One of my favorite is that when I have something to do the next day; work or otherwise, I will force myself to stay up late and get very little or no sleep. I don’t know why I do this. I don’t enjoy it, but I just do it.
The strangest part is that I enjoy sleeping, and I hate being awake, and find most of my life boring.
Maybe one day I will solve this problem.
