Bots online impersonating humans are already causing so many problems at every level.

“So after a million years of putting off adjustment maintenance, the size of the sun has grown to critical levels and it is now too late. We will be evacuating at the next solar system in 120 [MINUS FIVE] years and diverting all available resources to emergency maintenance in the mean time. This announcement is a recording.” Frickin’ humans, eons of progress and can’t even do eons of progress right.

“You must have a large family to feed.” “Ya.” " Here?" “Naw.”

It’s true you create more value for your work/hobby if you specialize, it’s more true than you can just enjoy life if you don’t spend most of it being socially dominated into a job you hate doing in an oppressive environment you hate being in. You get so much more value of yourself just living, or at least making wise trade-offs.

F*** their data and f*** it’s relevancy. /s

Some indigenous peoples cooperate with their natural environment. Humans are fundamentally a keystone species that’s collectively gotten really bad at it, to get good at other things. We could have human conventions, art, and technology that works entirely with nature and our environment rather than against it. Between these facts, I’m not a fan of that definition.

I don’t hate it. The most common bad-faith rhetoric you hear from the Right is “It’ll kill the birds” because you know dang well they dgaf, but they know we do. They put any roadblock they can to sustain dependence on their economic interests in oil. This gets us past a few more of those roadblocks, if it anywhere near matches the efficacy of open blade turbines.

How we express math is particular to us, though it’d be commonly decipherable. Math is more and more globally standardized as more of it gets globally acknowledged as “the most useful” way to do math. E.g. place holder 0 vs Roman Numerals. Ratios are conceptually universal to any species that bothers measuring. Quantification maybe less so. Especially if their comprehension of advanced sciences/engineering is somehow intuitive instead of formally calculated.

If a space faring species has a concept of proportions/ratios, but not individual identity of numbers, presenting Meters as a portion of the speed of light might be a universal way discern the rest of our math. Water as Liters might be more accessible, depending on how they think of water.

Sets and Axioms are purely conceptually representative and so viable as long as they’re capable of symbolic abstraction at all.

A self-fulfilling prophecy, if they will.

“Oh gosh, I hope AI doesn’t become Terminator.” AI: “Oh, that seems cool. Let’s do that. But with a bit of Matrix because I’m connecting those dots.”

OldTimerz! All the powers of an Olympic genius with the respected presence and not-giving-a-damn of an old woman!
