> and now the world is run by tech executives who don’t have a clue.

They do have a clue, what's missing is any sort of belief in the value of ethics.


Ethics are irrelevant. They lack a believe in God and without God nothing but evil and chaos may exist.

Surely if you're a Christian then you also think evil and chaos couldn't exist without a god? Seems odd to single out everything else.

A. God is beyond our understanding.

B. You want to debate theodicy? Might as well debate nature vs nurture or male vs female or emacs vs vim.

> evil and chaos couldn't exist without a god

God created humans for reasons I wouldn't understand, but we have free will which means we can choose what we do.

Without Hitler's father he couldn't have existed. So is Hitler's father responsible for the evil of Hitler? It's not a rhetorical question btw, I have no clue, and you don't either. The issue is you think that you do, which is the typical ridiculousness of the educated dotards who think they can out reason life itself.

Anyway, I rather not argue, because nothing of my point can be proven by logic as neither can it be disproved. I would simply say you need to seek out mystery and spiritual experience, and you will find that there is much more to life than what you have thought.


These insular online communities where you have "like minded people" jerking each other off are such a disgrace. They shouldn't exist. Only online can you get together with people who think almost exactly the same as you on every major belief. Nothing more worthless than listening to somebody just like me, if I wanted that I would talk to myself. I guess you guys don't understand or like non sycophancy, but I will keep shoving it down your throat and if you throw it back up I will force the vomit back into your mouth.

Bah just say Allahu Ackbar and enjoy that guys reaction.

So poisoned by tribalism you can't imagine anyone could be different than the caricature you see on tv.

Allah Akbar means God is good. Muslims pray 5 times a day. You want me to hate Muslims? Who am I to hate any of God's children. I don't hate anyone not Muslims nor Jews, nor Hindus nor satanists nor atheists. God is bigger than hate. God is love. I am sorry you don't knowthat and I hope you find out becauae you are missing something wonderful friend. Sorry for previous commment I was angry, mostly misdirected from sadness not ur fault im just not having a good time rn.


You are an ignorant moron. Not only do I love Muslims but I think the average Muslim is more Godly than the average Christian.

Its not about what religion you are part of, but if you love God. So quit being a bigoted asshole.

And Allah Akbar literally means God is Good you jerk. How could I be mad at that? Such a perverted soul. How could this world be so rotten and tribalistic?


Prove god first. If you succeeded, prove your specific god and why your special book is correct.

Jokes on them if we're in a simulation, that, or one of the marbles from Men In Black :P

You mean the Abrahamic God who is worshipped by the three largest religions in the world across every continent? Yeah the majority have come to a conensus already, the details are what we are arguing over. I guess you didn't get the memo.

Christians, Muslims, and Jews. Almost all the most important people in history, who built the world and defined the culture you were breed into, they were all wrong and you are right.

And God is unknowable. There is a reason why there are a bunch of different religions and spiritual practices. If we could know God perfectly we would be God.


> [diplomacy] was inducted into Games Magazine’s hall of fame alongside Monopoly, Clue, and Scrabble.

It takes a diplomacy player to deliver such a backhanded accolade.


Not sure it's all that backhanded? They didn't say alongside Candyland, Operation, and Tic, Tac, Toe.

I suspect the industry wants to be regulated, but not like that.

This has been happening for decades. It's pretty common in summer, which used not to be an issue since peak use is during winter.

This may come as an issue if air con develops fast, though.


Just after your quote:

> EdF responded that it "assumes full responsibility for the technical and financial aspects of dismantling its nuclear plants," and noted that it was currently decommissioning nine reactors, so had a good basis of experience. It also pointed out that its funds set aside for decommissioning were audited by the Ministry of the Environment, Energy and the Sea the previous month.

And, a little bit earlier, the article author's assesment:

> There are well-developed plans for dismantling these (which have been shut down since 1990 or before) and work is progressing.

Please don't cherry-pick articles.


> without counting subsidies

Every energy industry has subsidies. Believing that one of them should work "without subsidies" simply misses the mark.


Make an all-team demo on new frontiers in benchmarking technology.

> Please get used to it.

The novel title: "Don’t Build The Torment Nexus".


That is the kind of discussion where people end up saying "Oh okay, but we can FIRE ZE MISSILES".

AWS will never willingly stop serving the EU, and oil corps will (unfortunately) never willingly stop selling oil. The US govt could force it, but that would be the end of US-EU relations, and probably cause a breakdown of internal us politics.

The US is pushing its hand as much as it can right now.


That reliance is increasingly seen as a bomb about to explode rather than a boon.

US tech financing and promoting far-right parties doesn’t help their case either
