Same. And in the past decade plus of using smartphones, I've never had to open the slot except to install the SIM card for the first time. Why do I even keep it around?
A single vote shouldn't "matter" in the sense that no single person's vote should have a huge effect on the outcome of the election. But every vote should matter in the sense that every vote should have a small effect on the outcome and that effect should be guaranteed for every vote that was cast.
I think you may have forgotten some of the context when you responded. We already have a consensus among experts that IQ isn't intelligence. That's not up for debate anymore. The question is whether or not intelligence can be measured, and the semantic question of defining intelligence is very important here. You can't answer "how do we measure X?" without first defining what "X" is.
I also apparently have high IQ according to online tests and my mind still glazes over conversations even when it's a topic that I'm supposedly an expert on. I know all the words. If you were then down and I read them, I'll be able to make perfect sense of them. But a real time conversation? Forget it.
And it allows users to create their own one-off objects that they need rather than a corporation creating an immense surplus of parts the majority of which will never reach consumer hands and will end up in a landfill.
This is key. You can 3D print things to fit your exact needs. Mass produced injection molded plastic is only cheap because of the mass production. Molds are expensive. That means they necessarily have to produce a lot more than people need and market them to people who don't actually need the item in order to make up for the upfront cost.
Here in Canada, it's half the cost for rice. I don't imagine it's that different in the US (at least, pre-tariffs). Assuming 2500Calories per day, I can get a year's worth of Calories from rice for about 500CAD while it would cost me 1k CAD for the same on soda (calculated based on $1/2L of Crush cream soda).
No, see, you start with the assumption that everything is zero-sum, then you look at the other guy to see suffering and conclude that you must therefore be winning.
No, this doesn't work for me. I imagine myself standing in the middle of the road where the camera would be. If I look left and right and see these two cars, it means they're going in the same direction.
