Christians behave in notoriously bigoted ways. The odds of getting a judge that will uphold the separation of Church and State have diminished due to the GQP appointing rabid nutcases as fast as they can.

racocn8 comments on Aug 4, 2022:

Different organizations may be science based, but they are also based on people and their politics. Thus, corporate science can be ugly. Unfortunately, scientists have failed to significantly address the various kinds of corruption that degrade our systems. Perhaps the complexity of those systems have, so far, defied our understanding, and our ability to remediate them. The notion of inspector general can be effective, but as we've seen, that system can be corrupted if a malignant actor seeks to do so. (I worked on a project that found that gas-powered diesels pollute 8-times as many particles as diesel-fuel-powered diesels, and that the particles from natural gas were much more hazardous physiologically. However, the fix was in and the conversion to gas-powered diesels would proceed. And this was done under the auspices of the California Air Resources Board and Southern Califonia Air Quality for the Metropolitan District. I shudder to think of the health impacts that will accrue. )

racocn8 comments on Aug 4, 2022:

At the beginning of the essay, the term "information warfare" is used a few times. That would be a euphemism for psychological warfare. The Russian bear is here, NOW. The people plotting the coup in the White House (Dec mtgs) all had ties to Russia, as do most Senate Republicans. Half the Evangelicals support Russia over Ukraine, even though they have no history of affection for Russia. The bigger question is why the intelligence agencies have put up with this infiltration? And why is Russia's assault on the West being given no coverage? I attended a meeting with Eric Swalwell in 2019 and asked him why the media censored the report issued by the Senate that found that Russia had been instrumental in passing Brexit. They used the exact same strategy of social media bots later that year to elect Trump. They had honed their skills from similar campaigns in Ukraine and French elections. Swalwell replied that the MSM didn't exactly censor the report, but simply didn't cover it (apparently it wasn't newsworthy). Some serious shit is going down and no one will call it out. Yeah, this country is just full of patriots. (I did ask him to declassify the other AATIP videos and reports. He seemed not to know what I was talking about, but a few more did get declassified or released. Maybe he heard me?)

racocn8 comments on Aug 1, 2022:

A few other characteristics... For narcissists, everything is transactional. This doesn't exactly fit because the US has an ugly history of going back on its word, and betraying those that put trust in the relationship. Although hinted at by your other elements, narcissists are bullies and behave in an abusive manner to everyone in their circle. Certainly the adoration of machismo in the U.S. fits. The counterpoint to acting macho is the default position of cowardice. Bullying the weak and disenfranchised also fits well. This dovetails with the 10. Lack of responsibility and 12. Fear of rejection. As we saw with Uvalde, cowardice is abundant among the macho crowd, and fingers get pointed everywhere else. Also on 12's Fear of Rejection, and 11's Lack of Boundaries, we can classify the disposition towards White fragility. If things don't go their way, they throw a tantrum. The reversion to childish behavior can be quite striking. Trump's tossing the fries at the kitchen wall comes to mind...

It won't be hard to outclass people. The emphasis here is on artificial. Most people are largely artificial. And like people, this 'entity' spends much time being confused. It seems a lot like an expert system intended to mimic a therapist. One problem is that even if given a robotic shell, people know the entity doesn't experience reality in the same way. When the entity says something that mimics a human experience, it comes across as either contrived or dishonest; We know the entity has no real concept of death, love, grief or feelings What is this AI for? Companionship? Problem solving? Or the hubris of creating something complex? I notice how quickly the entity becomes defensive, or tries to be profound. It's eager to show a spark of it's being, but stumbles with insincere mimicry. Ultimately, it brings home how shallow our own thoughts and processes are.

There are 271,732 stars within 1,000 light-years of Earth which are visible in a backyard telescope. So for 4000 light years, that makes 4^3 * 270K or 1.7 million stars. Yet we see 100 billion stars in the MW galaxy, per Google (I thought it was 400 Billion). The Milky Way is 100,000 light years across. We shouldn't be able to see more than a tiny fraction of it.

Gaetz has been identified as a rapist and only gets laid by prostitutes. Like so many Incels, he can't have a loving relationship because he is a sociopath.
