and it does so for abso-fucking-lutely no good reason!

Vendor lock-in. The next generation will demand teams because they cannot get used to other shortcuts.

People care about their in-group. Make being human their main identity.

Hasn't he said that himself?

This needs to be normalized by calories. Soymilk and soybean oil shouldn't be that far apart.

To the side, because there is cat food ...

They’ll spend thousands of dollars buying the most ridiculous gear to kill the damn thing, and then just fail at butchering and preserving. Hunting is the easy part.

Sounds like advice that should be remembered.

Using fracking if you could have electric cars shows that it is all about spoiling ground water.

This is the preparation for selling water to everybody.

Unfortunately that's the what. How do you gain the power to implement such a society?

Just tells you how shitty life is to some people.

Who owns the app that gets the location data of every illegal immigrant? Maye they do know the Streisand effect.

Look up Palantir

Unipolary didn't have strict rules either.

Neither is convenient for me because there will be a very inconvenient war. It's just that people only count when there is an election, and then they only count as a manipulatable resource. Otherwise nobody in power cares about what people want.

You are right about your expectations about future wars. It's time to come up with something to make a better future.

Sure. Unfortunately that's not what counts. Also history is more complicated and doesn't start in 2014.

Wang was said to have given Kallas – the former Estonian prime minister who only late last year took up her role as the bloc’s de facto foreign affairs chief – several “history lessons and lectures”.

Ukraine seems to be more of a unipolar project than a multipolar project. The important part is the last part of the last sentence.

David C. Hendrickson, in his article in Foreign Affairs on November 1, 1997, saw the core of the book as the ambitious strategy of NATO to move eastward to Ukraine's Russian border and vigorously support the newly independent republics of Central Asia and the Caucasus, which is an integral part of what Hendrickson said could be called a "tough love" strategy for the Russians. Hendrickson considers "this great project" to be problematic for two reasons: the "excessive expansion of Western institutions" could well introduce centrifugal forces into it; moreover, Brzezinski's "test of what legitimate Russian interests are" seems to be so strict that even a democratic Russia would probably "fail".

Of course there can also be wars in the multipolar world. But there are enough started by the US that peace seems to be secondary.

Why should it not happen? If they track everybody crime becomes impossible, as does dissent. The latter is the motivation, the former, as you say, the talking point. Not looking forward to it, but political development suggests that it will happen.

Once all thieves are 'treated', who should move a bike?

So what does all that violation of human rights actually buy us?

Violated humans. Political stability by removing all dissidents.

I am not arguing for surveillance, I just assume that it will come.

The US wants to stay the hegemon but China is advancing technology faster than the US. The conflict is about the multipolar world. Unfortunately the US, and the EU, haven't explained why they don't want to be part of a multipolar world.

we should create such a society

The problem is that nobody knows how.

What technology will disappear in the next 10 years?

It will be fully automated. You mark the position and time, an AI checks the record and the thief will be punished. No police nor judge needed.

That depends on how much people with morals stick together. People are isolated so that they can be manipulated.
