yes, that's what they're doing.

because they hate North Koreans, because it's part of their government.

how this works is described in "1984" (by Orwell), which is a fictional work.... ahahahhaah

still racist, it's the worst kind of racism, brother Vs brother (or possibly more accurate cousins? dunno)

for long term effects of this practice see the Gaza v. Israel fiasco

publishing is no longer a business model.

the only 'business' left for people in that 'industry' is to charge rent which is taxes

sure, ok... but in some places it functions as a public utility

further, there was a principle of roman law that forbids this... then again the USA is not following those principles (civil law) but common law which means you can disregard what I say

you seem like you haven't actually read the referenced book, but only heard about it

the internet is a global network, but I suppose the telegraphs really is that old
except our bodies already kinda do that on their own

how would killing species of gut biota would helpful? helpful for whom to accomplish what??

we're headed to a future in which you have to take special pills so that the food doesn't kill you. like the glysophate and GMOs but applied against ALL life, including humans. if this is too far fetched for you then I also hope we don't get there.

> Blockchain tech isn't 14 years old, it's 30 years old, or even 40 if you want to go back to the '82 paper. Still no world-changing tech has come from it, aside from monopoly money.

that's like saying that submarines were invented when Jules Verne wrote about them (i.e. you're wrong)

blockchain technology requires the internet, hence it cannot be older than the internet

so your take is that it's saying to increase pressure, exploit harder, and get more even more faster?
"this idea is mine, I cannot let you have this idea"

the idea fits in a digital format.

they're literally building scarcity for the future, right now.

and that's also deeply tied to why the USA citizens have a constitutional right to bear arms.

it's a way to prevent the will of power combined with lazyness from taking this technology away from the people. if/when they manage to do this, then it'll be even cheaper to control people, so this is a logically more efficient objective

give me a mirror and I will show you one
falsehoods MUST be repeated continuously or they cease to exist

the truth remains regardless of what anybody says.

my point is they're related. but i didn't explain why

and you're mistaken on the intent of gaslighting. it's intended to control

'confabulation' reflects on how that's sort of control is even possible

but at the end of the day, it's a poison that is trying to kill life.

and we are alive and the reason to use glysophate is to use less effort to grow our food and to prevent other living things from eating it

it's like we prefer to poison ourselves a little bit, rather than share food with other lifeforms

cool, the scientific name for studying gaslighting!

agree. the USD dollar is backed by the threat of violence which is how I understand what it means to be an empire; in contrast with a 'civilization' (though it seems as though empire is the early stage of civilization, it boots things up)

> Inertia is not a virtue - neither for an object, nor for a human

because inertia is unavoidable. a fact of nature, it's useless to try to judge it as good or bad; however we all do this. and after trying to do this, we all eventually learn that inertia is unrelated to virtue and that everything will be affected by inertia

is this good? or bad? is this a virtue? or a vice? good for subjects? bad for objects?

the answer is no all the way until one realizes that it doesn't matter. it'll still be inertia

> USD is backed by literally nothing. LITERALLY NOTHING.

that is not quite right. historically USD has been backed by the USA military

Re:The U.S. Government Has $5B in Bitcoin on Monday October 16, 2023 @11:53AM (#37901641)
that can't be correct. bitcoin has too much value.
but it also means that Apple is the new Goldman

similarly to google turning into "internet microsoft"

and microsoft turned into ibm.....

I think that human memory "keeps" the next prompt by baking it into the parameters of the "neural net" (the brain) immediately

this is has gotta be somehow an analogue of dreams andor sleep andor AI hallucinations.

I think this because for many of us, to not sleep triggers hallucinations, which is the conscious experience of whatever the organic version of 'backpropagation' (training the model?) really is.

it's not a prompt, it's a dialog, it's many prompts.

> What is the suspected reason?

fraud

I'm still looking for ways to answer my own followup question

how does it make sense that this is the suspected reason?

(who is defrauding who? why and how?)

"due process"???

but we've gotta update this now that the law will turn to software
