  • Maybe, but the issue is likely loneliness in need of an outlet. The relationship is a manifestation of the deeper need for a meaningful connection of some kind. Try to be a part of that connection if you really care.

    Negative feedback loops cannot produce positive outcomes in any system. One must add positive reinforcements to achieve positive growth. Mocking or shaming are negative feedback tools. If you use these with any human, the human is far more likely to double down on the behavior. In essence you are training the human that communication with you or by the same mechanism is a problem they can easily resolve by not communicating further.

    They already have a relationship. View this like a tribe that you are not apart of yet. If you apply uninformed bias through dogma such as the assumption that the person has ill intentions, you are identifying yourself as someone of a rival tribal faction and at best attempting to leverage your tribal relationship against this new one that has formed. You’re asking your grandfather to take the loss of meaningful value as he perceives it.

    The far more effective anecdote is to be open and insert yourself into this new tribal situation where you are present for communication and hold a vote in what happens in the tribe.

    That is how you influence the situation without causing harm and with positivity.








  • Could go one of two ways, math, or human sacrifice.

    The sad thing is how close we are to getting into a space civilization and so much more but how we can’t get our shit together long enough or priorities straight. One m-type astroid accessed in low Earth orbit – there are several already there – has more mineral wealth than all that humans have ever accessed in the Holocene on the surface of this gravity prison with its differentiated gravitationally sequestered artificial resource scarcity that hoards all the good stuff in the core. All we have are the scraps that have landed on the surface after it solidified and got mixed around. The m is for metal. Those are remnants of differentiated, read - concentrated, cores of planetesimals. That kind of wealth makes resource scarcity obsolete and creates both wealth and infrastructure resources to get into space colonies. Space colonies cannot have waste systems. Their primary constraint is heat radiated into space. The wealth to fund and create such a sustainable environment fixes much of what we fail at now. It moves populations into space too. We’ve known about how to build the stations since Dr. O’Neill did the studies in the 1970s about only using established materials science and engineering to create the O’Neill cylinders at up to 9 kilometers in diameter and 30 kilometers long with just steel and concrete. The wonder of such innovation would accelerate our passage into the next age of technology – biology. One day the masters of biology will look back and pity us in our primitive stone age of silicon. The foundations of that world are stones of the future orbiting around us now.

    That is what I see when I look up. I see the twinkling reflections of cislunar stations much brighter than the background stars, a place where most humans live a few centuries from now. It is a remarkable place after the end of the age of scientific discovery at the beginning of the engineered expansion, but still centuries from my Parsec 7 that I call home.








  • Still clunky on my poor WiFi connection in my room. It seems local caching is a bit off. Like I never know if up votes were not pressed, or connection delays. I also prefer a browser based infinite scroller and will not DNS whitelist 3rd party servers that other websites might access like some JavaScript server or tor.
