Unfortunately what humanity always found out is that physics always progress. That means that we are always at mercy of uknown physics laws or put it simply: Till now humanity had a lot of luck and everyone luck at some point ends.

Almost every upper class parent invest in musical education. Learning to play instrument is both enjoyable and discipline building activity.

I confused names of uBlock lists and functionality with your extension. I sincerely apologize.

That's why I said ''It looks like'' not ''It is''. When you have Ublock this really looks unnecessary.

Yes, this addon looks like repackaging and selling someone others open source work. I'm really not sorry for that author.

There is nothing from evolutionary point of view more important than having children. It would be highly unusual if nature didn't make that experience overall speaking as one of best things in life.

Yes, in Catholicism there are Jesuit spiritual exercises tailored both for priests and shorter for ordinary people, similar in orthodoxy. I think protestants lack that element and that's why meditation is so catchy in America.

Perhaps it should outsource most of jobs in country where open source community is very strong like Brasil.

Slavery in Utah lasted 10 years and included very small number of Afroamerican and Native American people so certainly economic success of Utah is in no significant way connected to slavery.

Same for me, I support channels with superchat. I think best compromise would be bitcoin miners. No ads and creators and developers earn their money.

But just to play devils advocate: It is highly likely that China have spies in Google and Facebook and probably USA have spies in Tik Tok and other big Chinese companies so both China and USA no matter what sw you use already know everything about you. My best argument would be: We can't allow that authoritarian country become tech superior because that will make China economically stronger than USA and than politically which will result in destruction of democracies around world.

But what if looters as in this case are also burning buildings that they are looting?

''Military members are not obligated to follow illegal orders''. Ok, but this is not clear situation. Violence exists, therefore it needs to be stopped. Police station is burned down. Once police is not able to stop violence using military is only option.

''But it's a lot less violent than ordering the military to shoot people.'' You know, he is president, that gives him right to use or threaten with violence if he thinks that safety of country is seriously in danger. If you think that he is breaking constitution there is court to decide about that.

I think we are dealing with black swan event. It's new disease, higly contagious and with 200 more deathly rate than flu. Since we don't know much about that disease and how much that virus can mutate being extra cautious is best strategy.
