"People deciding not to reproduce."

The complete destruction of the human through exploitation and control, as seen in the article, is a major reason people are too unhappy to start families.

The worst part? Most people don't even know why, so there's never a general public reaction to fix it.

I think I'm super pro nuclear everything now. See the new Russian built nuclear plant in Bangladesh. Crazy populated country currently not able to import adequate fossil fuels due to the strait conflict.

Nuclear energy is a God send if managed with extreme care.

Remember. Even if they succeed in banning internet anonymity, you should still smear crooked politicians. Just do it anyway.

Nicotine is less harmful than sugar. Not even close. Ban sugar. Ban everything. Safety nausea.

You're making my point by making sweeping deeply personal policy for people without first citing how much less dangerous vaping nicotine is vs using tobacco.

My question is why aren't you or the people making these policies interested? It's consequential stuff done ignorantly and recklessly.

Determine scientifically how dangerous vaping nicotine or THC is before banning it. That's call rational. Not reckless

"Ranked by drug experts on damage to user, impact on crime, and socioeconomic effects"

1. Alcohol 2. Heroin 3. Crack Cocaine 4. Cocaine 5. Tobacco

I think these laws are bizarre morality rituals. Evidence doesn't conclude it has anything to do with public health when you see how vicious alcohol is.

Hopefully vaping will still be legal? They do distinguish the difference between inhaling burnt matter vs inhaling a heated aerosol, yes?

Of course not. The only thing government and private enterprise seems good at these days is taking things away from people. Logic be damned.

I'd like to know what they controlled for. Simply navigating life in a body you don't identify with should cause psychiatric problems.

True. Maybe Ro Khanna/Massie. Honestly those good tickets have minimal support. People don't pay attention enough. Will get more establishment figures. Probably Rubio vs Newsom. No reason to vote then.

I'm sorry to be slightly off topic but since it's ChatGPT, anyone else find it annoying to read what the bot is thinking while it thinks? For some reason I don't want to see how the sausage is being made.

These small annoyances just keep adding up. The result, a less happy population which most likely correlates with a lower life expectancy. It's also just less and less human agency. My cars software is going to monitor and manage my behavior? Seems maddening.

There has always been a subset of highly technical people in the software world who are anti-organic. They dislike the "meatspace" and humans and relate more with machines and software.

I'm using a 5 year old OnePlus Nord that needs to be replaced and all of a sudden I see I have no options but Samsung, Motorola and Google.

Not sure what I'll do. Does Asus still make a phone?

I sort of agree with the premise of the article. I ask myself, did more non-technical people pick up AI chat bots when they were invented than picked up personal computers in the late 70s/early 80's? I think probably. From my conversations with others.

Because his honest and accurate diagnosis for why mega tech corps treat people inhumanely is the first step towards stopping it. In my opinion of course.
