The problem is, the end of feudalism and monarchism, and later the rise of labor and human rights law, was supposed to end that disparity, and for a time it mostly did. But now the forced re-gilding of society is artificially lowering the life expectancy of everyone except the very rich.

Thinking about the one time that JFK (not a socialist) said some socialist-sounding stuff and then stopped a rifle round with his head

This is a misunderstanding - the Post may have 765,000 subscriptions but "readers" is a misnomer

It's just a matter of economics when you compare the price of the Post to the price of an equivalent weight of toilet paper at the grocery store

I'm a degenerate freak who really mostly only uses the Discover feed

I mean, not yet. Life extension medicine is absolutely coming. Maybe not in our lifetimes, but I think that meaningful amounts of life extension/ de-aging technology is probably within a century, two at most. And they will absolutely try to hoard it all for themselves as a status symbol

I just think you're going to be very disappointed when you find out how relatively easy it is to set up a VPN in such a way that it doesn't trip VPN detection algorithms, as compared to the cost of developing ever-more complex VPN detection algorithms

This works great until bad actors learn about the existence of VPNs. Hopefully they won't figure that out

Realizing that our wind farms could be milling shit at times where electric demand is below supply and my mind is blown

It's not as cheap as draining and poisoning our aquifers, so we don't do that

Data center waste heat is directly used to desalinate water. Water being desalinated is directly used to cool data center and can be transferred directly to agricultural areas or cities to reduce reliance on aquifers
