4·9 小时前Yeah for sure, I do think it’s only a matter of time before people figure out a new substrate. It’s really just a matter of allocating time and resources to the task, and that’s where state level planning comes in.
it’s a pretty big case right now
mfbc told them so, liberals don’t have thoughts of their own
it’s like the most pretentious thing you could do online
lmfao imagine trotting out mbfc like it means anything you terminal online lib 🤣
It’s like saying silicon chips being orders of magnitude faster than vacuum tubes sounds too good to be true. Different substrate will have fundamentally different properties from silicon.
it’s so adorable how you’re trying to be edgy here, one day you’re going to grow and cringe at the memory of yourself, or maybe you won’t and just keep going through life like this
3·1 天前I mean if we can’t make it here, we’re definitely not going to make it out there. This is still the most hospitable environment for us around.
2·1 天前I think a lot of the power of the empire comes from its mythology. Promoting the idea that it is invincible and inevitable convinces people that nothing can be done about it.
A comeback truly worthy of an edgy 13 year old. One day you’ll even grow pubes.
China does because it’s not a capitalist shithole https://english.www.gov.cn/policies/latestreleases/202410/28/content_WS671f6db9c6d0868f4e8ec5dc.html
It seems like a lot of the moons in the outer solar system may have oceans that are just right. They get heated through tidal forces, and have liquid water along with volcanic vents similar to what we have in deep oceans where there’s lots of life around them.
I tend to be more optimistic myself. As I mentioned before, these things don’t progress in a linear fashion. Just because there is no obvious shift happening yet, doesn’t mean that internal contradictions aren’t building up towards a qualitative change. The US is very much overextended right now, the western alliance is fractured, and the global south continue to pass the west economically. The balance of power has already shifted away from the west.
This is the inflection point all empires end up hitting sooner or later. At some point the cost of maintaining the empire starts to outstrip the plunder the empire brings in. At that point the core of the empire starts being hollowed out to maintain it. That’s precisely where the US is right now. More and more countries are getting out from under the thumb of western hegemony, and that in turn cuts off the resource flow to the empire which makes it harder to dominate the remaining countries still in its grip.
In the short term these kinds of things will happen, but these tricks only work for so long. The bigger picture is that there will be massive public push back against the puppet regimes because they inevitably lead to the standard of living collapsing. And naked imperialism that the US is now doing will produce a united opposition to the US and their puppets.
That’s the scientific method version. Here we’re talking about transformation of quantity into quality. :)
