I disagree. I think that our efforts toward space exploration are a positive thing and will lead to technology that improves life for human beings.
@MCcuddles2
I agree that exploration is great.
I simply wish it was being undertaken by governments, and not individuals.
And certainly not at the exploitation of anyone else.
That said, this is capitalism, and nothing is more profitable than death, pain, and destruction.
@CharlesThePoet money accrues interest. Bananas just rot.
Also, correlation does not imply causation.
@BuggleBear
Oh sure, there are a lot of mentally ill people that never become billionaires.
I don't think having that much money indicates mental illness.
I think that WANTING that much money, and certainly KEEPING that much money, does.
@Spud424 I saw that clip back on Sunday, June 29, 2014. That day I was having a major anxiety attack over some InfoWars post I read earlier that day at the Central Library in Newport Beach, CA. In those days I didn't know that InfoWars is all conspiracy theories, but now I know.
If there ever comes a day that the robots don't stay outta my home or bother me in most of the few public places I go, and most people around me are neurally implanted cyborgs, I MUST DIE no matter how young or healthy I am. That's why I predict I'm only gonna live to see 60. I absolutely detest the times I'm living into.
@JasonCuddles STRONGLY AGREED about Elon Musk!!! I can't stand to listen to his claims about neural implantation, AI, etc. I had a major anxiety attack in March of 2019 after my former supervisor at work was quoting Musk's lines in the 2018 documentary "Do You Trust This Computer?" Remembering the exact wordings of the lines, I Googled them, and discovered that was the title of the documentary in which Musk said those things.
@CharlesThePoet Strongly agreed about billionaires, especially Elon Musk.
@Lovelight Artificial heart...I thought that was just a lyric from The Wallflowers' "The Difference". I guess it could become a reality or has already.
Fyi... Musk is actually a centibillionaire. A “centibillionaire” is anyone who possesses a net worth of $100 billion or higher. 🙄
No clue if he's insane or not, but his net worth is definitely crazy!!
