I like how you listed all things that do exist we just lack the will to put it all together.

Like there’s not really anything we need to invent to do a lot of these things. We just have to put it all together.

It’s not that logistics isn’t technology, it is, but we already possess it. Like you said we’re willing to implement it for profit, but we lack the will to implement it for these other uses

It’s the technology that goes “beep” the organization and coordination is what I would define as the “will” and that’s what we lack.

I mean we can, we have the tech but not the will.

O*io 🤢

The sad thing is we do have the potential to shape a healthier human race. The potential to cure all genetic diseases and have a better future. We have the technology today.

Unfortunately we cannot be trusted to use it. It will 100% be used to target minorities and harm people to create something racists ideal. It’s kinda sad

Yeah these days it’s just altering in vitro. We have the tech, but we are rightfully frightened by it. It’s hard to deploy in a way that it does good and is not abused

I mean there are some options for dealing with that.

A. Early monitoring in childhood followed by extensive therapy

B. Eugenics if a genetic link is identified (least savory option and likely not possible)

C. Rebuild our social circles and communities

To expand on C, I think a lot of what you’re identifying as narcissistic behavior or sociopathy is actually caused by the destruction of our communities. The way our society is built it rewards anti-social action with money and it’s cold and depersonalized. It’s easy as a upper executive to fire 500 people you’ve never once met and you will never meet. You don’t have to know them beyond a few spreadsheets of data. People will absolve themselves of personal responsibility and refer to the financial aspects. Additionally, our communities have been destroyed. The addition of the nuclear family structure encourages you to provide as much as possible to as few individuals instead of valuing extended family and community. Plus in some places in the world it is possible to go days or weeks without ever interacting with members of your community.

Eh weird dig considering a lot of other European countries do it that way. It’s not just the US or Canada.

I agree it’s so much eeasier. It’s kinda weird how much stuff gets easier when you just say “that’s my wife/husband”. It magically erodes a lot of barriers. People rarely check, but if they do they seem to only go as far as making sure the last names match.

If I was going to commit crimes why would I go to grad school?

Might as well not even get the debt

How else does one get through grad school?

It can be a little more popular imo. We’re still just under the “critical mass” needed to get more niche instances in good shape in terms of users and discussion

Graded on a curve

This is like saying the US has directly attacked Russian forces because some US citizens joined the Ukrainian military.

Depends on the subfield. Archaeology is in high demand due to historic preservation laws.

But yeah capping out is annoying, but also common in a lot of fields.

Those islands have different rules. Longest I’ve ever waited for bags

Honestly i just want to stand after a long flight. I do not fit well in the seats, my shoulders are significantly wider than the seats. If I end up in a middle seat I have to roll my shoulders in. If I’m in an aisle or window seat I have to lean away from the other person. Not comfy

They only run out of overhead room because dickbags put a carry-on and their personal item in the bin. Your personal item goes under the seat.

There’s a lot of jobs in the private and public sector for people with anthropology degrees. In the US, anthropology is taught as a four field approach encompassing Biological Anthropology, Cultural Anthropology, Linguistic Anthropology, and Archaeology.

Each of the subfields have different levels of hireability based on a bachelor’s degree.

I personally only have a bachelor’s and live well. I have a home and live comfortably. But, to your point, I have essentially capped out my earnings. I can’t make more without obtaining a graduate degree.

I have my doubts on if they’ve ever worked a job.
