I don't think the average American wants politicians this old, they are being chosen by their political parties as having the highest chance of winning because we have a broken voting system that encourages fewer candidates per party so that they don't steal votes from each other.
That is why we need ranked choice voting, so that more candidates can run without competing and we could vote for people we actually like instead of voting against candidates we don't like.
Not to mention the need to level the playing field in terms of campaign financing which currently makes it more likely for more established politicians to have collected funding from private organizations, superpacs, and corporate lobbying.
This means that the politicians who are in the pockets of the capitalist elites are more likely to win and to enact the will of these corporations.
How do you know what hell is like?
You can ask ChatGPT to role play as a foreign language speaking person speaking to you as a beginner language learner. I tried chatting with it in Mandarin and it did pretty well!
The downside is that it's text instead of audio. There are several other companies working on different versions of this idea for other markets.
Thanks, I only noticed the link to the original post.
This post made me realize that lemmy is big enough to warrant a best-of community for good comments like this! Is there one like that already?
Still thinking about that stick tho
You're right that it is human psychology but Supernatural / God is an easy explanation for things we don't understand because it doesn't actually explain why things happen, it is a scapegoat that avoids answering the question. In the absence of information, it is more comfortable to feel like we have an understanding of something rather than admit we don't know why it happens , so we are inclined to believe the leading theory even if it doesn't have supporting evidence.
As we grow and learn about the knowledge modern humans have gathered, we understand why things actually happen. For example, humans used to think a sun god pulled the sun across the sky, then we learned about the solar system. As the breadth of scientific knowledge grows, the areas for supernatural/religious claims shrink.
Actually, there is plenty of evidence that as technology and education improves around the world, religion decreases. Most people who are raised in a non-religious family remain unaffiliated. Those who are raised Christian are less likely to remain religious with each passing year.
This is why I don't think religion would take over the world again after a reset, it would remain a minority belief. The Internet allows people to research all religions and come to conclusions on their own.
Thanks for the help, I'm new to macOS, using it for work now. F11 is a volume key on macbook which I use frequently but fn+F11 does minimize to desktop, so that's good to know although not ergonomic.
I usually end up using the track pad gestures too, and they work well in laptop mode but since my MacBook is usually docked on my desk and I'm using a BT keyboard/mouse it's annoying having to take my hands off the keyboard and look up every time.
I'm frustrated that I can't even alt-tab since it won't select any program that is minimized or has more than 1 window open so I have to use mission control every time and hunt for the right window. I'll give Stage Manager a try in the new update.
I said identical because if there was an inherent truth to any one religion then it would be replicated. It's true that other religions would inevitably pop up, but that doesn't mean they would have any credibility, they would just be random new god(s).
If you were to hit a reset button on the world and every human started over with no memory, they would definitely be walking, but there would not be identical organized religions. This is because walking is natural and religion is a creation of man's imagination.
Not leaking, atheism is the default belief everyone is born with.
