Committing a murder is really only an issue if you push it.

This is the first time I've felt like the people in old photos aren't aliens.

I'd like to see less research about how we turn ourselves into optimal work machines and more research about how we reach a maximum vividness of conscious experience.

The metaverse isn't for us who've already spend 30+ years in tech and realize what tech-obsession steals from you.

It's for the kids who grow up addicted to it and don't realize until their 30s that they've had depresonalization disorders their entire lives.

This will succeed with them.

They aren't going after the people who have realized over-technicalized life is bad for humans. They're going after the kids who grow up in it and will take until their 30s to realize they've had depersonalization disorders their entire lives.

This is going to be the Futurama metaverse where you have to fight ads everywhere to go.

this anticompetitive stuff is counterproductive

Competition leads to better results for everyone, but helping everyone isn't their goal. They don't just want to win, they want everyone else to lose even if it means less progress is made overall, because it means they get to be the biggest of the survivors.

They don't want to just satisfy their interests, that want to be the ones who profit the most from satisfying their interest. It's about getting a bigger share of the pie, and they're fine taking longer to get their slice if they can keep everyone else from having some and take their shares instead.

I might need to do this when I start my vanlife. What service are you using?

I second this. I sleep so much better with it on. But I do need one with concavity, otherwise it hurts my eyes after a while.
