RIP. He was a great comedian, and a valuable lesson to us who grew up watching. I hope wherever his spirit ends up, he can be at peace.

Drugs can do that to a person.
Is there any Owncast host that's similar to YouTube or Twitch in terms of relative painlessness? If it requires each person host their own caster instance, it's not going to gain wide adoption.
Corn growth and other subsidies are profitable to the government, because the money comes back to them in lobbying/bribery.
Two of my favorite movies - and I'd add eXistenZ to the list, along with 13th Floor and Matrix.
Fossil fuels gave us the technology to get where we are today. We have overcome natural limits for centuries. I believe we can continue to do that.
Profit above all else is how the world has worked for centuries. You're right it's what brought us where we are. We have an increasing ceiling of education, the greatest overall mobility (socially and spatially), vast swathes of entertainment and communication, at least outside of some nations where there's a major problem politically and socially. People are not going to give up that comfortable society they've become accustomed to. Unless you can make this change immediately profitable, which is unlike most change, people are not going to accept it.
Dumping money/metal into the oceans cannot be made profitable. Even if it can, there's always going to be a more profitable use for that material.
Maybe human civilization is only meant to exist until fossil fuels are depleted?
The amount of Excel/spreadsheets I use in my hobbies and "leisure" time is massive. Otherwise, it's mostly about having surrendered to the presence of online ads.
Finally. Maybe the world's biggest store, the world's biggest CDN and webhost, and the world's biggest logistics network shouldn't be under one roof.
And it's not indexed or archived in any public way.
