Commented in AI and Employment: Is Universal Basic Income the Answer?
The key is balance. We want to make sure that none of our brothers and sisters are left behind, that they have food, shelter, clothing and a change to enjoy life. But we want to ensure that at every income level people retain the incentive to work to earn more, because that work is what will make society continue to function and the income continue to flow.

Commented in Reddit demands moderators remove NSFW labels, or else
"or else" has always been a trigger for me in life. Never had real consequences and I got away with a lot. And what would Reddit be or do without their unpaid moderators? Maybe it's time for a new label, as message from the moderators to Reddit: GFYS. Go Fuck Your Self. :-)

Commented in Local author experiences healing through writing
This is the type of story we hear quite often. People come to us to have their life story written as a form of therapy. By telling the story, they can bring closure and come to terms with abuse, trauma, disappointment and grief.

Commented in French hunters react angrily to drinking ban plan to reduce accidental deaths
Why are they mad? Were they drinking while hunting to begin with? Mad world... "Bros, I can't drink and be allowed to shoot while drunk". Reminds me of that one time I was in Russia(was visiting some business partners), and those folks went just shooting in the middle of the forest while drunk. Trust me, I was never more scared for my life than when those blackout drunks were swinging loaded AK 47 around.

Commented in Scientists Are Gaming Out What Humanity Will Do If Aliens Make Contact
What if extraterrestrial life already has been discovered, many years ago, and the growing number of stories like this, the start of a Space Force and the declassifying of numeral videoclips of UAP's (formerly known as UFO's) and more and more people from governments around the world telling their stories, is just a massaging in of the idea that it already happened? And that this way of slowly getting used to it (marinade?), is the preferred tactic of all governments in the world, but they do not tell the general public? I mean, wouldn't that be a blast? That most of the conflicts are done for the fuck of it and are all about distraction? And, maybe, there's already a years-long intense contact with extraterrestrials on the level of "calling-your-homie-on-your-smartphone"? I would feel betrayed somehow. :-)

Commented in Sleep Simulation: The Future of Sleep?
What I get from the article is mostly: less hours of sleep, is more hours of "being productive", as in: more hours of (wage) slave labor. I refuse to trade my hours of dreaming, resting and enjoying the best part of my life for some underpaying, high earning boss. Fuck. That. Shit.
Being more connected to our technology: shove that where the sun doesn't shine.
Then this:Sleeping is a big part of our lives, and it’s no secret that the less we sleep, the shorter our lifespan would be. But if we could find a way to reduce the amount of sleep we need, it would stand to reason that our lifespans would increase as a result.
Am I the only one who sees the utter bullshit of that quote? First stating a truth that if we sleep less our lifespan reduces and right after that trying to state that if "we" reduce our hours of sleep we'll increase our lifespan.
I admire the effort of sounding all utopian, but this pure bullcrap of an article tries to make us believe that we need to be more productive. Work work work work work, till you drop dead. In this world of overproduction, unequal divided resources, depression as one of the main diseases and also thanks to all that producing a more and more polluted world with a climate about to go haywire, yeah, let's sleep less and produce some more of that unneeded and unwanted shit.
Anyways, it's always nice to read that this kind of propaganda tries to manipulate us towards a dystopian world masquerading it as some sort of paradise.

Commented in Tim Cook: Not Too Long From Now, You'll Wonder How You Led Your Life Without AR
I think life without augmented reality is good. Any corporate and commercial addition to it, sucks out the soul of everything. So, eventhough I consider myself very progressive, lets' keep it the way it is, which is, in and of itself, feature-rich enough. Including all the bugs and crashes. :-)

Commented in New research suggests psychedelic drugs can be almost as life altering as near-death experiences
I had group therapy and it made a profound difference in my life and the effects are still with me. I had a chance to take lSD years ago,but had no one I trusted to be my guide,so I gave it a miss..Anyway,your experience has been profound and I am glad you are in a better place.

Commented in New research suggests psychedelic drugs can be almost as life altering as near-death experiences
During the first year and a half of covid I took several LSD trips and one mushroom trip. They changed my life for the better, even over a year after my last spiritual travel, the effects are noticeable, as in: can deal with solitude, have no depressive periods anymore, sleep better, have dealt with several emotional issues (like feeling a constant wrath and even hatred towards people from my past), started living day by day, can be compassionate without being emotionally attached to others and so on. Really groundbreaking, because some of those issues couldn't be solved in any other way. Trust me, I tried the talks to psychologists and therapies, they sorta worked, but they were very short term and not constructive.
Painting has changed and is still the most important thing in my life, but I sense colours a bit different and have an urge for contrast, brightness and abstraction. The latter can better be described as: I am daring more loose strokes and am able to disengage from that utterly crazy obsession with detail. It's still there, but the admiration of trying to create illusions of detail starts to get a hold of me.
My love-life is still a bit lacking (no money, no honey), but I sense that I can be open for affection, but then the same thing goes for regular friendships: they feel better and more meaningful. I even work on them, as in: visiting friends more, getting them over more and even make new friends. I was never socially deprived, but I hardly opened up, always a wall of much talking to distract from that innerself. Now I show feelings more and talk more about the things that are on my mind. Not just the silly talks or goofiness, but about things that I care about. My friends all like that, so it seems and that's very okay.
I can't say that I would advise such self-therapy to anyone, but people who have the same sort of things in their life could always consider such a route. :-)

Commented in The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
I think Einstein had a little different in mind, especially since he himself learned to play the violin as a child). Most likely his quote refers to life experience

Commented in Rocket Lab will self-fund a mission to search for life in the clouds of Venus
Those clouds seem like they would be pretty toxic to any life, although then again there are extremophile bacteria here on Earth so... maybe....?

Commented in Cocoa shown to reduce blood pressure and arterial stiffness in first real-life study
So does an ample dose of potassium. I do this to lower my bp. HFLC has also helped in that regard. The downside of coco is it's a big factor in the development of kidney stones. Ever passed one? You really don't want to.However,it may indeed help kidneys,so it's hard to decide what to do with this information if one makes kidney stones. Drinking whole milk with said chocolate could make a difference but how much and how often? Such is life.

Commented in DuckDuckGo caught giving Microsoft permission for trackers despite strong privacy reputation
It is a war to collect users information. Using computer now look like offering a hacker to break into the personal information. It is facebook, youtube, google search, bing or any one else, a hunger of information collection is on the way. This is why, when some one just click on a product to see just details, all the marketers rush into the computer and keep on showing adds even half of the rest of life. What a misery.

Commented in AI is learning how to create itself
This is so cool. I just love it when you see a system teach another system how to evolve and solve.
One thing in the article that bothers me is the fact that humans call their brains the most developed and/or intelligent in the universe. Brains calling themselves the smartest is somewhat narcissistic, isn't it? And of the universe, you know, that one thing we hardly travelled, but try to discover through some standalone spaceships, telescopes and calculators, all centering around the idea that life is only life when it looks like ours or has the same fundamentals as life on earth. Being humble should be more integrated into the sciences, I think.
Edit: this post supports my reply (a bit).

Commented in 6G will hit the market around 2030 amid the expansion of the 'industrial metaverse,' Nokia CEO says
I understand that, but a lot of what those tech-ceo's predict ends up in the vertical archive. And even if there will be a metaverse of some sorts, I really do not feel like joining that hype. Not because I wouldn't like it, it'll be entertaining in a way or at least some nice new things to learn about technology, but because I value real life. Be it interaction with other humans or making art, non-digital reality is where the real fun is. And yes, maybe I will miss the boat with some sort of business or moneymaking, but I do not care. Same with NFT's: I didn't join that movement and it saved me a lot of time and trouble, since that market crashed pretty significantly, just because of the amount of bullshit that people are "creating" and trying to sell. Compare it to a pond with a few fish in it: if you're the first with a fishing rod, chances are high you catch something. When a kazillion others join the fishing party, chances are zero catching something.

No surprises here...Humans are killing everything to have golf course lawns deprived of life...All food for wildlife mowed to dirt every two weeks by wasteful resource equipment,and gallons of poison doused on everything...I hate people and their stupid virtual signaling: "See how wealthy I am?

Commented in Facebook’s Playbook to Beat Competitors Has Had to Change With TikTok
When being/feeling inferior, it's easier to make someone look ridiculous than to invest some intellect and creativity. And it aren't just companies who do that. I have encountered several people in my life who do just the same. Very sad attitude and lacks character, I think. Facebook (and those kind of people) can sod off.
