I mean... Why build HSR if u just have normal rail? It might get u from place A to B faster by an hour or so... What difference would that make?

Turns out it would make quite a lot of difference, right? Faster human transportation in history has always been a good thing.

As for the price, the assumption is that nuclear fusion and lunar mining are mature tech. That would certainly lower the price a lot, no?

Hyperloops are an engineering problem, not a physical one. The same goes with nuclear fusion. Theoretically, nuclear fusion can be done on Earth. However, engineering such a system has taken more than half a century now (n we still don't have a nuclear fusion reactor yet).

• Expensive
• Noise pollution
• Incredibly unsafe

Basically, the future's version of cars.

I can't see any more efficient ways of getting people from place A to B faster. Hypersonic speeds can't be achieved on the earth's surface due to its atmosphere. Therefore, I see only two ways to go about it:

1. Spaceships that exit and reenter earth's atmosphere.
2. Hypersonic trains in a vacuum chamber, I.e., a Hyperloop .

I did compare this above. Like... Wouldn't Hyperloops be safer and a lot more efficient than spaceships? Basically, the trains vs flights debate of the future.

Upper age restriction

And what happens when medical science increases life expectancy? U would have to amend the constitution to pass this. Think of how nightmarish it is to do this. Now think of amending this AGAIN when life expectancy increases every year.

Does not lie about well known facts from scientist, like Covid-19.

Who decides what "well known facts" are? A particular non-political committee? The supreme court was supposed to be this committee. It clearly became political quickly...

Disclaimer: Fuck Trump.

That being said, convicted "criminals" should still be able to run for any public office in my opinion. A tyrant CAN capture the judiciary and imprison their political opponents. This is in fact what happened in the Indian elections right now. This is in fact what happened in the US elections in the early 1900s, where a socialist candidate ran for President from prison. What was his crime? Striking when the State had deemed it illegal to do so.

Thin Blue line fellas being hypocrites again smh /s

Awww look at Mr cutie patootie here UwU

They're all black

Then it's a badly implemented system. A good system won't be able to have such leaks.

Nooo ur documents. Not ur private key lol (it wouldn't exactly be private now, would it). Let's say u lose ur private key. U would have to manually do shit like u do when u lose ur passport.

What I'm saying is, ur identity being deleted only if the government AND u lose all ur data on all devices at the same time. Which is incredibly unlikely.

It's like saying, "I don't trust a papered system because the state buildings and my house could burn at the same time with my documents in them"

The government would have a copy as well! It's just that it's very hard for an entire government's data and your data to get wiped at the same time.

Ah, yeah... Therein might lie an issue. 😅

But that's an issue with papered systems as well, no?

It wouldn't really affect u even if ur id got deleted. Let me explain. Ur id is nothing but information correct (your name, address, etc.). The same goes with contracts. What makes ur id special is that the government has verified it to be legit.

A very simple way of doing this is by making the government cryptographically sign ur id/contact. I would really recommend getting a functional understanding of how public-private key cryptography works. Basically, the government just has to put up its public key online. If u have ur id, u can verify if the document is issued by the government using their public key.

As long as the public key stays there, and u don't lose ur id and contracts they won't technically be lost.

Also, if the public key suddenly changes/disappears without being notice, everyone would know that something's up. It's like ur government building's staff was suddenly replaced.

I can't see how the blockchain would be particularly useful here either. The security features of the blockchain come at the cost of extreme energy usage. Storing documents using simple public-private key cryptography is waaaay more than enough imo.

Ik James Charles is a groomer and annoying. But dat ass tho....

Cryptocurrencies have no real world applications. AI does.

But no, AI bad AI bad AI bad AI bad lalalaa I can't hear you AI bad /s

What a disgusting pun. Buzz off, you! /s

Didn't know CCP bots weren't capable of comprehending shitposts.
