opportunists would gather around a piece of shit if it benefited them

Is it really sustainable ? I’m just not sure it’s a viable alternative to eating less meat and farming with sustainable and regenerative practices.

We’ve been evolving with the times for quite a while. Maybe change for the sake of change isn’t exactly the right thing either.

Lab grown food, sold to you by the same system who sold you intensive farming.

It’s worth acknowledging when you’re artificially pinging your dopamine system. When you eat tasty food, when you drink coffee, when you smoke weed. Stimulating yourself by browsing the Internet aimlessly falls into this category too.

Saying “troll and harass” doesn’t really do the subject justice. I would rather describe it with the words “manipulate and influence.”

When do you think the manipulation started? It’s certainly not a new concept. It’s inherently human.

It has just evolved in modern times to use the Internet as a tool, but it’s always been happening.

Occams razor most certainly applies here. It doesn’t just apply to foreign governments but also all the nefarious factions around the world.

The evidence is all around you, psyops everywhere.

Naw man, everyone who can exercise influence by the methods we are broadly referencing is already doing it.

It is harder to explain why the powerful Chineese wouldn’t be doing it when every other relevant group is.

Occums razor, evidence isn’t necessary.

Cognitive domain, it’s not a new concept.

I believe they are the only 2 countries, so I feel my generalisation is acceptable.

It’s not necessarily that much stricter in Europe. It’s just guns for self-defense, isn’t a thing.

Their are guns everywhere, and everyone who needs a gun has one.

It just stops the random fuckers getting their hands on one for no good reason. Also, automatic weapons are for killing humans. Why even sell those.

Security from psyops. Duh …

Just wanted to say that I think lab grown meat is a bit of a white elephant. Dose it scale, what are the inputs, etc…

It might be viable, but it’s hard to believe anything about it with all the grassroots shills online. VC money is all over this. It’s just another product.

I’m not sure that’s the solution.

It’s quite amazing that you are one of the only people in the thread to acknowledge this. We are part of nature.

You’re disconnecting from what is to be a human being, I feel sorry for you and hope that some day you can get back in sync with nature.

You’re a good friend. 👍

The year is 2043, and Chumlee has been uploaded to the Metaverse.

“I remember those,” Chumlee said, his voice echoing through the virtual space. “Let me run this by my valuation expert, the all-knowing singularity.”

A moment later, Chumlee’s eyes widened in surprise. “Fourteen trillion?” he repeated.

“That’s what it says,” the singularity replied.

Chumlee shook his head. “I can’t believe it. I’ll give you two.”

That is not a good approach. The info shit is flowing and never ending, it’s designed to to fuck with you.

Element of truth to that wild comment, so I’ll let it pass.

I’m not so sure. The current geopolitical outlook leaves Israel in a tough spot. With the failure of globalisation and the declining importance of the Middle Eastern hydrocarbons, there is actually a breaking point.

I don’t necessarily think that breaking point would be reached, but if the current government does not restrain themselves and play their card correctly, it will count against them going forward.

Despite what Americans think, their previous actions have counted against them, too.

I’m the modern information age. The old tactics of statecraft and economic dominance fall apart. The opposing axis wanted Israel to respond like this. It’s a huge mistake for them to continue with this approach.

It’s a multipolar world these days.

The Keynesian theory that was enforced by the largest military in the world has arguably failed at this point.

Free markets don’t exist. It’s just a load of assumptions.
