  • But that kind of logic applies to all public information. And you are not wrong that it will be misused but that is happening to almost any thing really. Like the Carnivore diet which is being held as some secret to health, or alkline water, or "natural" bs, or raw milk, or "keto" and so on.

    Informing the public is not always successful, but it is almost always a net positive. This is the same philosophy as OSS

  • Can we all abuse the word woke until it's like a common replacement for shit?

    Like;

    • This coffee is fucking woke
    • I dumped a massive woke today
    • This president is a fucking woke hitler
    • Elon is as woke as it gets
  • So now we know, 9/11 and property damage are roughly equivalent in the eyes of the FBI. Makes a weird incentive to be more extreme in protests right? Like, if throwing rocks at a cop car and killing 3000 people plus demolishing the 2 largest buildings in the US and also a bunch of infrastructure and other buildings around it and 2 planes, lands you in the same list...

  • If I remember correctly it is a real concern and also part of why developing a bacteria that can break down plastic is very dangerous (not just because it could degrade our tools and infrastructure, but also because it will release literally megatons of CO2 into the atmosphere)

    Fyi, in the past there was nothing in nature to break down trees (lignin) and it actually was a problem as they would literally pile up and essentially be the same problem we have today with plastic (ironically it caused global cooling) https://www.thorogood.co.uk/treevolution-how-trees-came-first-and-rot-came-later-in-earths-deep-past/

  • Kind of an over simplification. Yeah, cops should ideally be fit-ish but even an obese person with a gun or a tazer can protect people, maybe not as well but still, and that doesn't take into account the fact that a lot of cops are not actually on the streets but rather in an office doing paperwork etc. The problems are:

    • There are maybe not enough cops that are fit for actual fights?
    • Cops are ridiculously undertrained and unfiltered, giving us all if these assholes that really just like power.
  • You might think that but really our radio waves are like a spark compared to the forest fire that is the sun. We only think of radio waves as extreme or flooding because they usually have better penetration because of the lower frequencies.

    This also why basically everything alive that has sight is looking at roughly the same spectrum as humans, it is just very abundant, has a high frequency (eyes can be small) and is just below ionizing radiation so easier to stay healthy. And the low penetration is useful, imagine a transparent tiger.
