Did you reply to the right comment? Im not really sure where i said anything advocating living in a dense, urban environment close to all the luxuries

Off by one errors are pretty common

Police in the us are more likely to be heavily armed and paranoid because they are armed, and are often trained to be paranoid.

I think they are talking about the case where, hypothetically, there is a 10x increase in speed but only 2x increase in power consumption

You are also assuming "actively and maliciously," thats not necesarily the case. Of course the best lie has a grain of truth.

The majority of people need to get their words to parrot from somewhere. This is where the powerful and funded groups come in, money gives your message more reach.

Elon "free speech absolutist" Musk did what?
