Futurism

A place to discuss the ideas, developments, and technology that can and will shape the future of civilization.

Tenets:

(1) Concepts are often better treated in isolation -- eg: "what if energy became near zero cost?"
(2) Consider the law of unintended consequences -- eg: "if this happens, then these other systems fail"
(3) Pseudoscience and speculative physics are not welcome. Keep it grounded in reality.
(4) We are here to explore the parameter spaces of the future -- these includes political system changes that advances may trigger. Keep political discussions abstract and not about current affairs.
(5) No pumping of vapourware -- eg: battery tech announcements.

tl;dr:

Although on average the corrections failed to accomplish their objectives, they worked better when the issue in the correction was emotionally more positive than the misinformation, the correction matched the ideology of the recipients, the issue was not politically polarized, and the correction provided abundant details as to why the earlier claims were false.

You have so much patience. I aspire to emulate :)

Thank you :) meditation and mindfulness are great tools to do so.

Trying to understand why meditation was so calming was what started this journey. I think that's the best place to start if you'd like to find your patience.

The Midnight Gospel is a fun way to expose yourself if you'd like to kill an hour watching trippy stuff happen while they talk about life. At the least it's a trove of terminology to absorb. And its okay to cry on the mom episode if you make it...

Regardless I hope you find your patience :) (And ty for your sacrifice dear mod 🖖)
