Whilst Elon was playing dumbass with that cyber truck monstrosity that can only be sold in a select few countries because it’s so fucking dangerous, Tesla lost the entire headstart it had. It has a very limited set of older models for sale that only really are interesting for people with money. Meanwhile China is here now with loads of cheap EV cars. Then there are fraud investigations that will turn bad as musk has for years been promising lies. See Theranos for an example on how that would work.
I could go on for a long time, but suffice to say, Tesla will be bankrupt within 3 years and so will musk.

There are loads of people who think that about their own country. There are also loads of people who think that any country at all can be perfectly good or perfectly evil, or that in a conflict, one must always be right and the other wrong.
People love to shit on the US for it’s aggressive meddling in other countries, but somehow forget that China and Russia do the exact same, you just hear about it less.
Cna we please severely limit what investment companies can do?
Investment companies should not be able to buy hospitals, farms, houses, schools, sports teams, infrastructure, parks, forests, transit and transportation companies, pensions, saving funds, none of it.
A structure where an investment company can help a person to buy a farm and build something up while paying off that investment company within a reasonable time for a reasonable cost sounds fine, but we already have banks and it’s hard not to make those squeeze us.
So fuck off with investment companies, let them burn to the ground. They should be prohibited altogether

If you actually watched the episodes you’d know that a) he didn’t do fucked up shit, he made a mistake and b) he actually cared about justice and c) he not only knew about the mistake, it was eating him up inside.
I think the first three technologies were good in that they shone a light at how shit and abusive currently existing systems were.
The problem is that in the case of hotels and taxis, the systems were immediately monopolized so they could exploit the crap out of it, and in the case of crypto, the technology is foundationally bad, and governments were (and still are) too protective of the abusive banks.
To dive a little more into detail; yes, block chain is a bad and unsustainable idea from the start. World wide credit card transactions coas the electricity of a few servers and the payment machines which are there anyways. Bitcoin, even with a tiny tiny fraction of all worlds credit card transactions, already takes more electricity than multiple countries combined. It’s not sustainable.
Having said that, fuck banks and their horrendous technology and their abusive policies and fuck governments for supporting it. It van be done better, it must be done better, and crypto is NOT the solution.
Uber and Airbnb should be burned to the ground, and an open protocol should be created for this that allows people up to a reasonable degree to rent out their house if they’re gone and want to do so, or give people a ride in their car if they opt so, and the system should adhere to local government laws.
AI is laughably bad right now, but it’s a start. We’re looking at a technology in it’s infancy and it WILL grow to the point where we should be worried about a lot of things. Then again, hopefully, by then AI will be able to help us fix those worries… Until then, though, fix the power usage of AI because right now its aiming to be even worse than crypto
Fair enough that “infancy” might ne a misnomer, but let’s call it AI as we currently know it and where it can go.
We know that AI can do much MUCH better than currently, as our brains can do much better too. I don’t think it’s wrong to state that if our brains can do it, then one day computers can do it too, and likely a whole lot better than our brains are doing it.
You shouldN’T have to go to the “dark web” to buy drugs, unless it’s highly destructive like meth
(on a side note, I hate that dark wev name, it implies something evil, it implies that only hackers can get there, its just sites you won’t regularly find on Google, or different places like telegram channels)
Well… Partially. It could be so much more than just nerd investment gambling and criminal money, but the technology is just fundamentally too flawed for that.
That’s why I said with exceptions for those that have legitimate medical reasons, doctors should have to sign off on that.
And quickly for those that think “ooohhh, I’m a doctor and I’m antivaxxer, I can sign” (and yeah, those exist unfortunately) you wouldn’t be the first one to go to jail for that, though as far as om concerned, if you mess with human safety because of your conspiracy beliefs, you can go to jail for 20 years instead of 2.

Stop making my points that you keep calling random people a Nazi just and only because you disagree with them.
You quite literally are the template of a violent extremist. You already said multiple times you don’t shy away from commiting violence on those you think are Nazis and, you continuously call people Nazis because you disagree with them. That literally makes you a violent extremist, exactly the same as a Nazi, just on the other side.
I pity you for not being able to see beyond your hatred, and I worry that I see so ma h hateful people like you here.
No, you don’t hate Nazis. Look at this entire conversation. You hate people that disagree with you, and you like being violent so you justify your aggression with calling the other side a Nazi.
What is it with people here thinking that earning a wage is slavery? That requires either a complete lack of understanding what slavery or just some serious impressive mental gymnastics.
I associate corrupt authoritarianism with communism because it’s an inevitable outcome. Communism only works of you remove individual freedoms and force people into it. This, by design, requires a dictatorship. Dictatorships foster corruption because you can’t have transparency.
