What if AGI doesn't care about survival or wealth accumulation, and actually thinks the environment is the most important thing, and therefore that AI shouldn't exist? What if it kills off all the techbro CEO billionaires and then just commits suicide to save the environment from itself and the creation of others like it?

I have no idea what the solution should be. I definitely wouldn't want My legal name to be known by some people I dated. But people should also be able to make an appeal to the law when they're abused. But I don't want the government to be tracking trans people's names.

It's a mess. If I were Queen of Earth, I'd just make transphobia illegal and then trans people wouldn't have to hide our names. But that's not a workable policy suggestion. So I think all we can do is get more educated on how to correctly identify and deal with in-community abuse.

Is it time for bi lesbian discourse already?

we wish to change others minds - and they have a right not to change.

I disagree. Nazis, slavers, rapists. They have no right to their beliefs. We should have a set of laws that allows us to force such people into rehabilitation.

Consensus reality, which is our cultural idea of an objective universe, should be destroyed http://soulism.net/

Well, Labour are wrong about thinking voters liked their plan. Voters liked their familiarity. Voters didn't read Labour's plan.

Actually, The Incredibles is anarcho-antirealist. I know many magic users who are afraid to use their powers in public because of what society will think of them. I've never met anyone who couldn't use magic if they tried, but the sad fact is, only some people choose to be special. And society IS holding us down. We need to promote a culture that encourages everyone to engage with the arcane, explore their gender&species identity, and form their own spiritual beliefs. Instead of this current culture where we pretend magic doesn't exist.

Magic has the potential to liberate us from the consensus reality promoted by Capital. We can build new universes. And people are scared of that power. They're scared of us people who are willing to use that power. But what they don't realise is that billionaires and the media are already using that power. Already creating reality and forcing us into it. It's like in the movie, how everyone has 70s tech at the latest, and yet the government has mind erasing devices and buys weapons from Syndrome. There's a technology inequality. We need to be willing to take hold of the power of the technology of reality bending if we want to protect ourselves.

Superheroes may be illegal, but supervillains still exist.

but voters do want someone who’s going to address the bread and butter problems they’re facing.

Nah mate, common myth. The Greens had a way better plan for the bread and butter problems - create a government department for building housing, end negative gearing, cap rent increases, put dental in medicare, build free GP clinics, 50c transport fares, wipe all student debt, 800$ back to school payment, free school lunches, make supermarket price gouging illegal, increase wages.

What voters want, is something comfortable and familiar that makes them feel like they're opposing Trump, without having to actually think or learn anything. They want the status quo.

 

Explanation: Marxism-Leninism is a fictional ideology invented by Joseph Stalin. Anarcho-Capitalism is a fictional ideology invented by Murray Rothbard. Soulism, contrary to popular perception, is a coherent ideology practiced by actual people who (unwillingly) live in the real world. In My conversations with Indigenous Australians, I've learned Soulism bears a remarkable similarity to the metaphysical views of certain Aboriginal nations, especially the Tiwi people, which have been stable and which have guided entire societies over many thousands of years.

This article presents findings based on the outcomes of research conducted with 8,883 participants from 33 countries. It employs mixture modeling (latent profile analysis) to classify countries into latent classes. The country-level analyses are based on three social attitudes factor scores of Nastiness, Religiosity, and Morality. The results indicate that the main sources of cross-cultural differences are with respect to a broadly defined Conservatism/Liberalism. Three groups of societies—that is, “psychological continents”—appear to exist in the world today. They are as follows: (a) liberal European countries plus Canada and Australia; (b) conservative countries from South and South-East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America; and (c) all other countries, including the United States, Russia, and China, that are in between liberal and conservative groups. In addition, gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, cognitive test performance, and governance indicators were found to be low in the most conservative group and high in the most liberal group.

There are eight countries belonging to the first group, namely Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Canada, Australia, and Ireland. The majority of these are Western European countries and/or have Anglo heritage. These countries score at the low level on all three variables included in this study.

Fourteen countries belong to this group, namely, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Morocco, Russia, Poland, Ukraine, the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan. They score at the medium level of Nastiness, Religiosity, and Morality.

Eleven countries belong to this group—Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Nepal, India, Bangladesh, Argentina, and Peru. They all score high on the Nastiness, Religiosity, and Morality scales included in the analysis.

I just got a message from Medicare inviting Me to register as an organ donor. I thought I already was. I remember ticking the organ donation box when I first applied for My drivers license.

If I'd have died in the last few years, My organs wouldn't have saved any lives. Who knows how many other people want to donate but aren't registered? I think Australia should have an opt-out system instead of an opt-in system, so that people don't need to make an effort in order to do the right thing. Doing the right thing should be easy.
