  • At this point in our development, we are like new born babies .... in a few hundred or even a thousand years, we'll be like toddlers.

    When you look back on our human evolution as a species, our first ancestors came about two million years ago, the ancestors that look like humans are about 100,000 years ago and the ones that would most closely resemble us and our way of thinking is about 50,000 years ago. We've only been technologically capable for the past 150 years. When you think about it, we are closer to our frightened, superstitious, ignorant prehistoric ancestors than to any futuristic culture we would like to emulate.

    It's going to take us generations and centuries to get to the point of being a contributing participant in a galactic community. IF we can survive that long.

    "I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."

    ....... but saying all that, I don't mean to be disparaging or negative ... just realistic. In the long run of human history, it will be through people like you and this community of hopeful people that enjoy playing in these ideas and possibilities that will take us one step towards a more hopeful future.

  • Even better was the fact the fact that this same president was also once the head of the CIA .... the same organization which most likely still included people he knew to work with South American drug cartels to initiate the Crack Cocaine epidemic of the 90s in order to fund their wars and conflicts in Central America.

    It pisses me off so much that so few people remember this history of America ..... on one hand they claim the moral high ground of wanting people to stop doing drugs .... when they, the actual government spy agency, were the ones who created the conditions for more drugs to be sold on the street!!!!!

    I've said it a bunch of times on this thread because it's important to me and should be important to everyone else ... look up the story of Gary Webb

  • I'm always amazed at the two sided nature of America

    Claiming one thing and holding the moral high ground above everyone else ..... while selling their soul to the devil and destroying entire countries without a bit of remorse or responsibility.

    Bush and his wife talking about the dangers of drugs in America .... all while the CIA was working with South American drug cartels to initiate the explosion of the Crack Cocaine epidemic of the 90s .... look up the story of Gary Webb and the work he did as a journalist to uncover it all.

  • That program was started at around the same time that the US government flooded the country with Crack Cocaine to fund their illegal wars in Central America

    If any one is wondering .... you should look up the story of Gary Webb

    EDIT: .... and if anyone is paying attention ... the story that Webb uncovered basically ruined his life because the government hounded him like a dog until he lost everything. Even then, he still kept fighting, resisting and writing about all the terrible things the government was doing.

    Then at the height of all the news about all this ... he died by suicide ... from two gunshot wounds to the head! ... and people tell me to stop believing in conspiracy theories. How the hell do you shoot yourself in the head twice to kill yourself.

    A simplified retelling of this story is in the film 'Kill the Messenger' (2014) which stars Jeremy Renner

I look forward to the next generation of AI counter counter measures that will make the internet an even more unbearable mess in order to funnel as much money and control to a small set of idiots that think they can become masters of the universe and own every single penny on the planet.
