I'm willing to take bets similar to the ones described in this tweet: https://nitter.hu/MatthewJBar/status/1534113341156691968#m

it's funny, conditional on AGI (and perhaps also WBE?) not doing us in, i'm pretty bullish on this century. bio seems much less of a problem, and everything else is basically a-okay, especially with people becoming richer and needing to fight less. most other collapse narratives sound pretty unlikely

I can either poast https://niplav.github.io/turning.html as it's now (with non-finished sections elided) to LW or post a half-finished version in 5 months (yes, it's not even half-finished by now)

wat do

Some civilizational inadequacies (besides the other obvious ones)

* most of Europe still uses manual-shifting cars
* ceramic plates & cups made of glass that break easily
* non-velcro shoes
* courses at university are not 3b1b + Q&A + extensive questions (or automated tutoring a la DARPA)

LW question about CFAR activity

Every small, non-commercial project should have this tag on their issue tracker.

I think this might actually be a good idea?!

Shows willingness to give a loud signal to critics, but with gentle push back. Would encourage Gebru to actually read up on what EA *actually is* (she would do that, right?).
It would also satisfy my sadistic impulses towards Rob ;-)

If she refuses, make it known that she did, but in a mentioning way (accusing would be too obvious), which is almost as good as having her on. ("The critics won't talk to them directly!")

goal: have a part that embodies marion wheeler energy

todo: create a ranking of countries anywhere by how open their borders are
