They fr read Foundation and missed the fact that Hari Seldon's preditctions fell apart very early on and he had the benefit of magical foresight.

A major problem with longterminism is that it presumes to speak for future people who are entirely theoretical, who's needs are entirely impossible to accurately predict. It also depriorites immediate problems.

So Elon Musk is associated with Longterminism (self proclaimed). He might consider that interplanetary travel is in best interest of mankind in the future (Reasonable). As a longtermist he would then feel a moral responsibility to advance interplanetary travel technology. So far, so good.

But the sitch is that he might feel that the moral responsibility to advance space travel via funding his rocket company is far more important that his moral responsibility to safeguard the well being of his employees by not overworking them.

I mean after all yeah it might ruin the personal lives and of a hundred, two hundred, even a thousand people, but what's that compared to the benefit advancing this technology will bring to all mankind? There are going to be billions of people befitting from this in the future!

But that's not really true. Because we can't be certain that those billions of people will even exist let alone benefit. But the people suffering at his rocket company absolutely do exist and their suffering is not theoretical.

The greatest criticism of this line of thought is that it gives people, or at the moment, billionaires permission to do whatever the fuck they want.

Sure flying on a private jet is ruinous to the environment but I need to do it so I can manage my company which will create an AI that will make everything better...

Klamath County is huge, sparsely populated and filled with off grid homesteads on massive but very cheap parcels of land especially in places like Tableland. There is truly so little out there that if you don't want to be bothered, it's the place to be. There's also basically no cops. It's the modern wild west.

Some also have terrible CRI. Nothing like giving everything a subtle green or purple tint.

Elon musk has a to thing for having many kids with women as quickly as possible. He had twins with his first wife via IVF followed by triplets with IVF (which kind of has uncomfy implications if you think about it). Then had a kid with Grimes and then another kid with her via surrogate while separated. And weeks before the surrogate kid was born he had twins with the exec he was having an affair with. It's really weird.

The London public were incredibly resistant to the idea of introducing a police force, precisely because they looked at the French Police force then and saw violence and authroitanism.

Seems it has gotten much better.

Didn't the Philippines literally try to bring back the death penalty to kill that Aussie Child Pornograhy producer, Peter Scully.

There is no way a 200 capacity room had one door. Surely that would be a fire code violation. The other doors are probably kind of hidden so people don't leave out them on the regular.

I personally am not a tankie at all. And I share no delusions about the supposed virtues of the USSR or think China is at all run by decent people. I also think the ethnic cleansing in Xinxiang is happening. But Radio Free Asia is literally an arm of the state department and the original RFA was actually run by the CIA until it was remade by Clinton.

No but a previous history of making shit up and falsifying data along with a failure to replicate?

The guy behind this paper has the exact same issues as Schon. Plagiarism in his PhD thesis, faked data, retracted papers, etc.
