So the trump administration is fully admitting that the insurrection attempting to block the certification of the Presidential election 2021 on Jan 6 was open rebellion?

He dislikes the right in his country which ruled for 13 years and voted centre left, but supports Trump and right wing parties in Europe because of too much immigration in the West

If feels like you're burying the lede here.

"In his country" suggests he's an immigrant. This means he too, is an immigrant right? How does he resolve this hypocrisy? Or when he says "too much immigration in the West" is he just a racist and is referring to people with different color skin?

Wouldn't a right hander throw their left on a jab or a hook?

So you’ve found 10 posts about Elon and Trump’s fued,

No, I've found this posters last 10 posts were ONLY the idea that this is all a distraction. How many times do we need to hear people say that? This poster isn't the only one spamming that same idea. We get it they think that. Why does that need to be spammed across every other topic?

but I’ve seen virtually no posts on how Trump is preparing to send the national gaurd to police cities and enforce immigration laws. Literal martial law, while conveniently not calling it that. Just a few weeks away. But let’s make 10 posts about their little spat

So start a thread on that. No one is stopping you.

We’re just being kept ‘entertained’ so they can get on with the business of robbing us blind and making us fight each other.

Another one of you now? Yes, we've heard this many many times in the last week. We don't need it repeated in every single thread.

As of this writing the last 10 comments you've made on any thread you've posted on has been this same idea.

I do see you have other ideas and contribute to other conversations which I appreciate, but your repeated post idea is well represented already. WE GET IT THIS IS YOUR OPINION ON THIS.

Answer to what? The question I asked you? I don’t have an answer.

Your prior question. If you don't have the answer, how can you claim that there is one?

You're assertion is that humanity, left to its own devices, would cause chaos and death (I don't disagree). Yet, you also say that a sufficient AI could make changes to humanity to make it less so. If the humans didn't make those changes themselves, then they have lost their autonomy. Yet you say that isn't so.

If the answer is as true as you say, why the are you being so coy with the answer?

However critics complain that while buyers for western markets only want to buy certified tea they rarely offer to pay a premium for it. While UK consumers are happy to splurge on coffee, the same is not true of tea. The average price of a teabag is “just 2 or 3p” despite the fact that the cost to grow and pick tea is increasing, according to a recent Fairtrade Foundation report on the subject.

I'm going to need more info on these' critics argument, because these statements by themselves don't pass the "sniff test". A company buying tea for resale won't pay anything more than they need to. If their customers are demanding certified sourced tea, then the company will source that. The way customer demand this is if they stop buying your tea because it doesn't have certified sources.

If a tea company could make just as much money buying cheaper non-certified tea and they'd retain all their customers and continue with their projected growth, they wouldn't buy certified tea.

No need to be coy. If you have the answer (that you haven't already shared) then don't let me stop you. Explain.

You’re still thinking in very small human scales.

I read enough speculative sci-fi to know the idea you're talking about.

An immortal Artificial Super Intelligence could spend centuries, hundreds of generations or more, subtly tweaking al thel various cultures toward a more harmonious coexistence.

You're saying that like its a good thing. For all of humanities faults, I'll take them over humanity being controlled by something else. R. Daneel Olivaw tried and it wasn't a great ride for humanity.

is white light "white" because that's what our start emits?

I'm going to say "no". Just because humans only see in the "visible spectrum" doesn't mean that all life on Earth does. There are creatures that can see in infrared spectrum such as:

• Snakes like pit vipers, including boas and pythons
• fish such as cichlids, goldfish, and salmon
• Mosquitoes
• vampire bats

There are also creatures that can see way past the other side of the "visible spectrum" into ultraviolet

• Bees like Bumblebees and Honeybees
• Butterflies
• Reindeer
• birds like European Rollers
• Scorpions
• Hedgehogs
• even dogs and cats

So as you can see from these lists its not just a specific genus or species. Many of our mammalian cousins can do this. Given that many other species have evolved this ability, it just wasn't evolutionarily needed for humanity to survive.

"Leadership has kind of another level of responsibility for trying to guide and direct that culture," the instructor reportedly told attendees. "But at the end of the day, it's us as the people on the ground that are the reflection of the culture."

"Sure, we've had a history of sexual and racial discrimination of our workers by other workers, but if you are a woman or a person of color thats no reason to have low morale. Yes, our CEO did back-to-back Nazi salutes on live television while he had abandoned his responsibilities here at the company. Why is that a reason to feel down? Okay, so our company brand is a social pariah at home with regular weekly protests at our stores and people burning the cars you make. Also around the globe largely because our CEO has been invading the privacy of all Americans through the power of government and pushing far right political ideology in other nations and here. Is that a reason to let it affect your work? No. Workers, this is all your fault and its time you changed your attitude." - Tesla corporate instructors probably

Do you have a rule in your relationship that she isn't allowed to drink around you to offer you protection from her?

Those certain aspects which cause intolerance, would need to be changed. Nothing more.

Nothing more? You're handwaving away massive changes needed to many groups including erasing or altering their culture or identity. I'll keep playing your game though.

Okay, so here's a statement from a Muslim scholar on the doctrine in the Qurʾān:

God is one and unique; he has no partner and no equal. Trinitarianism, the Christian belief that God is three persons in one substance, is vigorously repudiated.

source

So one side believes in one god, while the other believes in three persons in one substance.

Both have extreme groups within each religion that believe only their way is correct, and will use violence when needed to prove it. Which one gets changed, and who decides who gets their belief system altered so they aren't intolerant?

“a more globally compatible culture.”

My apologies. You used a singular there in your language. I took that to mean one.

There are many different yet compatible cultures, that are able to exist together in the world. It’s really only certain aspects of a few cultures which drive them to be intolerant of other cultures, that would need to be changed.

So a set of compatible cultures then. What about the ones that aren't compatible? What happens with those?

Conflicting things could be true at the same time in different places. Having one ruler doesn’t require one set of rules. There could be, and would need to be different rules for different communities.

So its like what we already have today then, yes? What would prevent those different places from going to war with each other over their differences?

An AI might be willing to do that, and slowly nudge over generations, differing communities toward a more globally compatible culture.

You're providing another great example except I don't think you intend to. Your hypothetical example for the perfect ruler is one that works to unify the world into a single culture. Thats one definition of genocide. I don't actually think you mean for that, but your definition can certainly match the word.

Already you and I don't agree on that path, because the ideas we have are mutually exclusive. We can't have one part of the world that is working toward a single unifying culture while the other have embraces and celebrates the diversity of our many cultures. If one vision of the world is going to exist, one of those groups has to bend to the will of the other.

Hey there, I was wondering if this is normal or if anyone can relate to this. I 20/male...

What you're going through is pretty normal at your age (in western cultures) and manifests in a few different ways. Seeing yourself identify with another culture is one common way.

Ultimately what you're going through is a search of, and identification of, who you are: Your identity.

You're right at the beginning of a very interesting part of your life. You'll try on ideas and beliefs like clothing, wearing them for awhile and just as quickly discarding them when they don't feel right. Its a set of refining actions. You'll swing to another extreme and then drop that one too. However, each time this happens the swings are less dramatic, and the direction you take are closer to who you decide you are. Most people spend a good chunk of their 20s doing this, and at the same time learning about the adult world, its many joys, and many frustrations.

So feel free to explore your thoughts. Decide what is right for you. Experience all kinds of things to give yourself enough material and life experience to make good judgments but don't be afraid to make mistakes! Now is the time in your life where you'll have the most power, but the most forgiveness. Learn, live, love, travel and experience other cultures, get your heart broken, perform a service for others, be greedy just once, and finally find your true self, your true form, but then I'll likely be saying to you "Happy 31st birthday!". Buckle up its a weird, wonderful, and wild ride you have in front of you for the next 10 or so years!

The current issue in picking a human global ruler, is that it would require super human traits

I disagree. The current issue is picking mutually exclusive contradictory traits.

One person will one religious freedom. Another will want a theocracy. Both of those cannot be true at the same time.

The fight is fake. It’s meant to distract you from...

I originally started this response to complain about you posting this same type of comment in thread after thread after thread.

That is...until I looked at your post history. I only went back 9 pages of your history, which represents 13 days. However in that time I did not see ONE SINGLE POST that wasn't complaining.

In the last 13 days you've contributed nothing to any thread except complain about trump, putin, russia, the GOP, etc. I don't like those things either, but you're made it your entire identity for at least the last 13 days. That's not healthy, man. Seriously, that is a disturbing amount of commitment to those type of comments.

Considering we have no consensus on what a suitable human president would be, I'm not sure how we can give parameters for a machine version.
