Ternary computing is some serious alt-history fodder.

From what I hear, the war spending is still pretty low, all things considered. This could just be another autarky subsidy.
It’s like he became the opposite of King Midas.
It’s incredibly annoying, though, that you can only copy boards in the app, and when you do it makes triplicate of all the cards.
Why steal data when you can just make it up!
In development and science, sure. But this is a finished product on the market.
I don’t see the problem with mastodon, people without accounts can’t reply, but it can still be used as a message board. It’s not much different from linking to a wordpress blog.
Doesn’t Israel say they use an AI to pick bombing targets?
Dunbar’s number is 150, I believe. But that’s the limit for ““real”” people, with names and addresses and birthdays. The magic is, however, they don’t need to all be real: a nation is a tribe, and nations can hold millions. You just need a few real people that you take as a stand in for all the others, and then keep doing it untill it encompasses the whole of humanity.
I say “just”, it’s not like it’s that easy, but it’s doable.
Tribalism is bad, but the tribe existing at all is empathy in action. Once the tribe is there, it’s just a matter of expanding it.
Social units existing in the first place requires some level of empathy. Tribalism is just selective empathy, not the absence of it.
Tribalism is based on empathy towards other tribe members. Capitalism, ironically, goes against this: tribal bonds take a back seat to economic interest.
Humans are, in fact naturally empathetic. It’s why we pack-bond with anything with a name.
They’re satisfied with the picture of the world in their heads, and looking into things might prove it wrong and then they’d need to go through the effort of changing it, and that’s a hassle, so they don’t. And then you do, and make them do work, which is annoying.
It’s why “don’t shoot the messenger” needs to be a proverb instead of just common sense.
I was actually kinda pissed when I had to switch to a car with a CD player and couldn’t use it anymore.
