Thank you for the article, it was really well written and I had no idea labor is actually higher than it was forecasted to be.

It doesn't have to be this way.

Stopping the people trying to prevent the biosphere from collapsing, now that's radical.

Copyright laws are a recent phenomenon and should have never been a thing imo. The only reason it's there is not to "protect creators," but to make sure upper classes extract as much wealth over the maximum amount of time possible.

Music piracy has showed that it's got too many holes in it to be effective, and now AI is showing us its redundancy as it uses data to give better results.

it stifles creativity to the point it makes us inhuman. Hell, Chinese writers used to praise others if they used a line or two from other writers.

Well said and yea if you find a "unbiased source" for news, you've only fallen for their bias.

Be critical even of what interests you, and read things you don't like as well.

I have a few since I'm a historian:

The revolutions of 1848 Europe, particularly Berlin or Paris. The atmosphere in that year was confusing, conflicting, and explosive. People wanted generally better lives, and put their own on the line to see it happen in numbers that shock us today.

The fall of the T'ang dynasty and the early Song dynasty. I'd love to see if the Naito Hypothesis holds up as a viewer of that time and space.

The Atlantic Revolutions between 1770s to 1800. So American, Haitian, French, etc. The birth of nationhood (in Europe), a new consciousness found its footing, and what it meant to have liberty, to be human, and to be unfree were changing.

And Japan in the 1930's. How fascism developed in the country. It's a question that's big in Japanese history, and not so clear today.

Yea but with torrenting it's multiple peers you are connected to. Soulseek only connects you 1-1 so it's generally lots safer.
