> The way I think of it: I have experienced non-existence for billions of years, I will experience it again after my death.

sorry but that's extremely silly. Go read up Parmenides at the very least. If you don't exist, you don't exist, period; there's no experiencing, no you, no anything.

anything is worse than death as the dead don't suffer, by all currently available evidence.

but yeah, this one is definitely the absolute worse thing that could happen to someone, and let's not forget it is entirely man-made, given that fully paralyzed people are being forcefully kept alive by some f*cking sadist of a pro-lifer...

it can't be that easy, there's plenty of groups that would routinely use something like that for terrorism etc. It hasn't happened yet, so it must be more difficult than it looks?

information doesn't "want" anything... let's not forget that what matters is people.

Copyright today is grossly abused by corps, but it was created for good reason, as plenty of authors and artists went bankrupt because of piracy before copyright law was created (example: Alessandro Manzoni, father of the modern Italian language).

Copyright will be eliminated after money will be eliminated and everyone will get equal access to a decent basic living.

honestly though, public toilets are usually so dirty in my area (unless there are entry fees) that I rather use a shop's toilet instead. This is not about failed states, but a large portion of the populace not giving a shit about others... or giving too much shit perhaps =)

it was also meant, like the army and later tv, to create a uniform national culture and erode local communities in favor of the newborn unnatural countries.

Think that it might be bad for yourself, but good for your kids because you didn't force them to enter this fucked up world for your own benefit. Speaking as someone who hates being born, and there are countless like me, and you can't know in advance.

it's not like you're forced to make them...

and yet most humans continue pursuing a lifestyle that is simple not sustainable at an 8 billion people scale, and don't want to give it up. Doesn't sound like they care much about the consequences of their actions on others.

Haven't made the calculations, but I'm quite sure we could keep the current technological pillars of well-being (food, health, heating) without much issue to the environment if we gave up all the other superfluous crap (private cars, gadgets, plastics toys, 3d videogames, etc). And we'd probably be much less depressed too.

but what about all this obsession about ensuring that there are still humans in say 200 years, when anyone who might exist is a complete stranger to us?

honest question, is it so bad if we go extinct? why bother going through all this effort and anxiety for someone we'll never even meet?

taking an honest look at my own life, I'm just a sophisticated robot that eats, poops and labors just so I can continue to eat, poop and labor yet another day...

well, there are plenty of dumb shits who would say that plenty of his drawings are the mark of the devil...

thanks

thanks, this is a type I never tried before

Thanks. Unfortunately I've already moved once with noise as the priority and it didn't work out.

About the silicon ones, were they the ones which are custom made?

honestly, you are being very arrogant. Loudspeakers pumped out at 120db are far too loud. A dog barking at 100db is far too loud. A motorbike revving at 115db is far too loud. If it happens all fucking day, every fucking day, often for several hours without any pause, it is far too loud.

Please stop propagating the myth that it's all in my mind. Would you say it to someone who is being gangraped? Noise pollution is gang rape.
