passivecool And anthropic got hammered on for their position that the technology is just not there yet . *rolleyes* What's next then on the agenda? Stealth umbrellas like in the 'Kingsmen' films? I would love to be able to see into the future if Humanity manages to figure out – on the scale of nations – that collaboration and compromise and rules of law and order are better for everyone than bashing each others brains in like Neanderthals, with painful GNP% priced, high-tech rocks.

Notton That's hilarious, but also scary. Did you see how that drone took a dive towards the umbrella? Yeah, IDK how much I want a 1~5lbs drone taking a dive towards me, lol. It'd be useful around prisons, my guess. Reply

As long as resources & territory remain limited, there will always be conflict. This has always been true. It's a basic fact of life that even simple organisms obey and that technology cannot invalidate. We would ideally like all conflict to occur in peaceful and managed ways, which is essentially what capitalism tries to do. But, the incentives are always there for some not to play by the rules. How the world responds is ultimately what dictates the kind of world we live in. The only way to keep everyone playing by the rules is to make rule-breaking so costly that it has no appeal. Reply

Well, that's what democratically elected representative governments with reasonable provisions to ensure minorities are not ignored do on a national scale. And what trade agreements and alliances do on the international scale. Capitalism is just a vehicle for those things. One whose benefits needs to be carefully balanced with its failure modes, because just as easily as capitalism can foster cooperation, it can also enable precisely the kind of consolidation of resources that leads to war. (The destabilizing forces we're seeing right now in society are mostly the latter, by the way. Which means pushing the principles of unrestrained capitalism even harder is probably the opposite of what we need right now.) Reply

You need rules that make it reasonably fair, and then for the majority of participants not only to follow the rules, but participate in punishing those who break the rules. I was just trying to make a general comment, without getting onto any digressions about the present state of world affairs. I appreciate your other thoughtful remarks, but we're meant to stay reasonably on-topic and this clearly isn't. : ) Reply
M0rtis This reminds me of the meme where a string of code stuck on a cars license plate causes traffic cameras to crash. Reply
