Trump's shitposting rampage the result of seeing the latest polling.
@judgedread These people don't respect reality. Sometimes, with the flat-earthers, I have wondered if they are deliberately planted to create an association to discredit far more supportable positions, eg race is real. People like the Catholic monk who invented modern genetics (ie Mendel) understood that accepting the reality of what God created is part of understanding God himself. So rather than deny reality, you try to understand it.

The "tension" between science and religion was an artificial thing. Many great scientists were also theologians - Bacon, Copernicus. Many others like Ampere, Pasteur etc were deeply religious.

If, as the Bible says, God is truth, then faith has nothing to fear from truth. I think religious people do far more damage to faith by turning themselves inside-out to deny obvious truth than they would do by accepting it.

On the political side, we have to understand reality and that we do not have the capacity to deliver (fill in blank with ideal candidate). Instead, we have to make choices between what is at least possible.

Trump has worked out pretty well in his second term. Very solid on the 2A, has made a good start on immigration issues, the tariff stuff to try to incentivize domestic production and so forth. Granted, this comes with some downsides. But I'll accept those downsides to see Somalians stripped of their untouchable status and drug boats blown to smithereens. It's a huge leap better than the alternatives.

In our purity spiraling we run the risk of being like the 30 year old girl on a dating app who only wants guys who are over 6'2" tall, earn over six figures, etc. Somehow, being unfamiliar with the statistics involved, she is bewildered that she can't find men.
@JohnYoungE I am, of course, well aware that most scientists until very recently were religious, and the very best were majority Christian as the very best were Europeans of the pre-jewed era.

I am absolutely certain the jews injected flat earthers into the conversation as jewtube, the jew megaphone par excellance, signal boosted that nonsense for a decade before pretending to crack down on it when censorship became the new hotness around 2017 or so.

Also there is the perfidious influence of money as crackpot conspiracy nonsense always sells better than the grimdark facts.

I agree with your summary of Trump as right realist choice.

Elon's SpaceX Starship:

Internal components revealed at the aft end of Booster 18. The large methane transfer tube, that also acts as the methane holding tank during landing. And what appears to be a LOX side holding tank for landing.

NBC news is shocked that Americans recognize reality when it's shoved in their faces:

Attitudes haven't changed. The reality of the cost/benefit ratio has changed. Between college costs that have dramatically outstripped inflation for over 50 years and wages that have failed to remotely keep pace with inflation over that same time, a college degree will no longer even pay for itself.

And that doesn't even consider that the degree requiring job field is effectively closed to White men and advancement is now relatively limited for White women.

@James_Dixon I guess capturing the intelligentsia factory and turning it into a 500dB Poz Repeater had some downstream consequences, didn’t it, Shlomo

Zhuque-3 orbital launch and landing attempt is NET December 1, 2025. 0400-0600 UTC (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Shanghai Time).

“Cannot talk about Sweden but in the UK if you wanted to rid the country of criminals you’d be wasting your time focussing on immigrants as they are (proportional) under-represented in the criminal class… violent crime in the UK is more concentrated in the ‘native’ population, although the media coverage attempts to hide that & shift the focus onto a minority of migrant criminals”

Let’s see if you’re capable of recognizing reality.

In a proper priesthood, the monks would be building AI to solve protein folding, in the tradition of Gregor Mendel (the discoverer of genetics).

@nomebullyyou I ask the monks to solve protein folding using quill and parchment.

I'll wait.

@judgedread Robert Anton Wilson said work to increase intelligence is work to solve all our other problems. That by itself makes ai completely worthwhile imho. The fact that it upsets stupid people is just icing on the cake.

Keep in mind the same general philosophical arguments against AI were being used to claim it could never do character or facial recognition or win a game of Chess against a serious opponent... right up to the day it did.
@ChrisMayLA6 How many native brit grooming / rape gangs are there, hymie?
There are people who are absolutely certain AI will amount to nothing.

I am not absolutely certain AI can become more powerful to the point of being indistinguishable from demigodhood, but I can't see any proven barrier that would prevent it.

If the human brain's processes can be emulated they can be sped up. IQ research shows that a great deal of the difference in quality of thought between the dumb and the smart is due to speed.

If that research is correct and AI programmers manage to create a human-like mind it will soon be a superhuman mind as more compute is thrown at the problem.
I was wondering if jewtube had misunderstood Elon's statement about requiring hundreds of billions of AI chips.

Check the audio... yep. He said hundreds of billions not hundreds of millions. And he wants them soon.

In fact he wants them NOW!

We are witnessing the rape and murder of a country. The "nazis" are simply a skinsuit for the perpetrators.
