That is one thing, but I think it’s better not to dangle Africa over the fire pits of military intervention excuses. It went horribly bad for most continents. Broadscale alignment with Russia might be enough to trigger some onlooker that means to do them harm.
Escalation from Saudis for instance.
Well, they better woo them because Putin was there last month trying to do it! The world doesn’t need a psychotic Africa.
It was from a study on innovation that gives a breakdown on the innovation pipeline.
The USA has 157 million workers, shuffling 140,000 years of work a day. One in 4 has an idea. One in five of those is a good idea. Two thousand stakeholders can make it an innovative idea. So, they can pump 3.5 years of brute force innovation into the world every single day. That’s well over a thousand years of advancement per year.
Critical mass populations that can keep up with their own development are a serious creative force to be reckoned with. And human evolution has been exceeded by innovation, dramatically.
I used to have a plugin that mapped how many companies were getting data from the website I was on. I’m not sure if it still exists.
One eye opener that’s easily accessible is going into their Facebook third party data agreements. If it’s not turned off they’ll probably be shocked about how permissive the data is. Just visiting a website can result in a Facebook agreement to share data with that company. It’s one of the reasons apps suddenly know random things you were just talking to somebody about. It gets keyed up instantly and they start that whole analysis of shadow profiles stuff industry experts talk about.
Strangely, these stupid religions had a really successful path of delivering some of the most ideal traits possible. Modern, people despise religions, and feel malicious towards good intentions. But, the post-theist world - knock on wood - really knows not to use nuclear weapons. It’s amazing that these religious nuts became such epic scientists, and the recipients of their awesome powers somehow maintained the insanely creditworthy ability to hang onto integrity despite whatever storm.
And weirdly, despite the storm being cult-mania mass-suicide level idiocy they were not even pushed over by a handful of demagogues coming to power in the recent right wing push.
A lot of that stuff is a freakish coincidence in a world that could have delivered it’s own extinction a million times over or more already.
And there are just as many people earnestly working on removing further blights to humanity - including that of itself and the sins of its development past. Most rational people would have already killed a few million more people a year, but the religious nuts really set up a world that cherishes human life. (Probably a shame they weren’t all more interested in wildlife protection)
It’s eroding, obviously, as people leave religion. But they did get it to a level that’s been pretty intense considering we live in a world that’s normally an absolute warpath of idiot animals.
I get squeezed for every minute. If I work faster - then good - do more.
Why do people think this?
Some coins shouldn’t be in the game, but overall crypto has good reasons to exist.
First of all, I don’t like my bank because they don’t pass on value. Crypto carries its value around all by itself.
Secondly, I don’t want PayPal, or anyone like them, to pass on money that could have just been crypto.
You get dragged back to Windows by a lot of employers and schools. Nobody has time to fight the system when everything depends on your Windows based outputs.
Microsoft specifically engages and sponsors technology in governments around the world for this reason. Their whole schtick is ‘embrace’.
They are destroying rivers of the sky, and don’t even care about the consequences. Mad men!
I’ve lived in a communist country before. It’s not really an issue for me.
Goto statements do nothing wrong. They were just popular in a time when people were coming to grips with desk jobs, automation, and programming for the masses.
