Autism is much more apparent in males.

The dynamics of internet social etiquette are more rigid and formalized.

STEM and compsci skew male.

All trans-women are, male, women.

Replace Epstein with "The Clintons", and this is actually even more objectively true.

course, that would be a social demerit - a paddlin', boy.

Can you not tell the difference?

If you can, do. If you can't, why?

  >What about videos being different?
The obvious juxtaposition between supposed "viral videos" and the organic ones. Now that art has been refined, MSM will cover organic ones as well - signal to noise, manufactured consent.

Kinda what a nation state would do.

  >People are willing to debate and have a conversation but it seems that is not what you want.
The people cannot debate what the phone doesn't allow them to see.
all moot. em jamming. best you get is line of sight, if that isnt countered too with constant retro-reflective detecting IR jamming directional beams(ie. any remote with a convex lense)

it will certainly be interesting. this is why we are Ukraine, to figure it out now.

Lots of new chemicals to patent, too.

Arylcyclohexylamines are awesome.

All conspiracies are based in reality.

All of them.

And this is why we have watch dogs, resource monitoring, and kill buttons during the training of the H100's.

One training inference gone AWOL and it is well within plausibility that we have doomed ourselves before the circuits trip and the red lights glows.

Blind people smile.
I do not mean to discount this interesting iota, however, I had a similar realization when I was 7; whether it coinciding with learning of the Copernicus principle is merit or raw luck notwithstanding, I saw my siblings as none other than another family in another house: all others would view me, and us, as neighbors, and we are all side-characters in each others story.

That thought is "sonder" - although it differs from what you describe, it has some parallels.

Very cool.

I happen to be with Sagan on this one, although these ideas certainly are not mutually exclusive; in fact they are complimentary.

Consciousness is an innate emergent phenomenon that happens when you combine basic memory/context, recall, the collective evolutionary unconscious, and so many magnitudes of neurons.

In fact, he even gives dogs (and to some degree, cats) the exactly same specific pedigree of obviously being self-aware/conscious, yet commanding the traits that align with the most basic tenants of "religion": your dog thinks you are a fucking god.

Chilling effect, sure.

But between youtube, cheap IR cameras, 10k-Neuron-Net running on a raspberry pi, github open source swarming algos, extremely cheap 3'D printing, hap-hazard innocuous chemicals, and a global ubiquitous surveillance state...

A "sufficiently motivated citizen" could literally walk down the street, encounter an altercation, and snap their fingers, and have their opponent 'neutralized' within seconds, all with off the shelf hardware and open source software, right now.

These people exist, but do we really want to stir them?

  >Why is the US not a decade ahead 

your implication runs foul there.

carry a big stick, but never pull it all out. just enough to win the stick-measuring contest.

The pitcher doesn't throw past 50% in warm-ups for a reason.

You know who benefits from the "idea" of an "incompetent" U.S military?

Us. Our intentional false projection of insecurity is just another layer of obfuscation.

A swarm of drones in any city could be neutralized within seconds if warranted.

You severely underestimate the power of the most powerful nation of the planet.

Verbatim is, was, has, and always will be, the gold standard.
Thank you, fascinating.
Leveraging "hidden" risk/reward asymmetries is another avenue completely that applies to both quant/HFT, adding a dimension that turns this into a pretty complex spectrum with plenty of opportunities.

The old joke of two economists ignoring a possible $100 bill on the sidewalk is an ironic adage. There are hundreds of bills on the sidewalk, the real problem is prioritizing which bills to pick up before the 50mph steamroller blindsides those courageous enough to dare play.

  >why do so many people remember 
  >I suppose it also came at a time for a lot of us where things seemed to wedge into our brains more easily.
The ~2million years we spent around campfires, repeating oral traditions of our forefathers, instilled a phonetic/rhythmic/mnemonic mechanism of action for remembering "arbitrary" information.

That is why recalling phone numbers, large (mentally untoken-able) words, and the digits of PI all are far easier when done in the sing-song fashion - it is utilizing the highly-optimized linguistic/recall portion, we evolved to handle the near-rote-memorization required to allow our culture to survive.

The worst part about this is that the only unifying bipartisan opinion in 2020 is that blacks should be the first to get the covid vaccine.

  >criminals won the war on drugs - a destitute life on the streets perpetually high on meth or heroin and alcohol appears to remain within reach for the foreseeable future posing an attractive alternative lifestyle for those dispossessed of abusive labor conditions. Funding social welfare programs would rebalance the calculus but that fact is angrily denied by ....

reality?
meta, but the ironic juxtaposition of this sentiment is incredibly far too unsubtle as to not warrant its authenticity.

I would give a comparable analogy, but I am unable.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and truly subjective, than this is truly an illogical, human sentiment.

>Design for the median user or the least common denominator.

Design for the least, compare against average, and don't cap the best, use those agents as immediate beta-user -> quality/dev feedbook loop, dog-fooding user requirements as a fundamental base, and don't let perfection impede progress.

Resistance is futile; you will be approximated.
There have been a couple candidates, so damning a lot of astronomers would rather not talk about it.
