Yes. At this point the bottleneck becomes sensors compute power and communication speeds.

Maybe another interesting application for non locality.

Defense is often a poor or costly tactic. And even in a conventional war it's convenient to allow the enemy to spread out covering "useless territory ".

Thinking machines may play the next major conflicts for us with generals selecting from several scenarios.

I want to take the toys away and return humanity to the spear. Mostly Because I'm jealous of the really rich princess of the military industry who make all this stuff and have the access, permission to build, play with whatever technologies they want without any real oversight or transparency.

I dunno, I haven’t really studied it, but I personally believe that completely relationship-less lives are not quite as healthy as ones with relationships. Once again, it’s fighting our programming and evolutionary biology, as a species we survive by forming mated pairs and family units

Our brain reinforces it to us with oxytocin, a happy chemical produced when we feel an intimate touch. This is why FWB relationships are so hard for so many people. Because oxytocin is also a bonding chemical. It is there to reinforce that intimate touch good, bond good, this person good, to ensure the survival of our species. And the more frequently those people touch, generally the stronger the bond gets

This is why all of sudden strong emotions can start coming out in FWB relationships. Your brain is programmed to bond you

If MIRVs should be dropped (they come from orbit), air defenses from standoff ranges can destroy them with relative ease.

Lol

This is also why professional “cuddlers” became a thing, especially in Asian countries. Even men, as crazy as it sounds, can be ok with not having sex but just cuddling. Obviously sex is always going to be better, but when people are enjoying cuddling what’s really happening is their brain is just getting high on its own oxytocin

And I wouldn’t recommend professional cuddling, unless you expect/don’t mind Molestation City

Close personal human relationships are weird and gross.

We have already had all of the everquest discussions possible, several times over and all variants.

Thats why the guilds just flame each other in RnF these days

Rest assured, M.A.D. will always be real.

Kinetic rods would be like 100 tons of tungsten each, we can barely put 5 tons of stuff in orbit per launch. They are yet sci fi, but they would be more effective than MIRVs, as their entry and strike points would not be easily predictable.

Yeah when your enemy can hit you at mach 20, attrition isnt a bad strategy, you mentioned old school weapons, someone on some side of that war would end up driving bombs in cars to cities.

Spears would revert society to the rule of the strongest, not the smartest, and neither of them ever lets you play with their cool toys, or in on their gov't contracts.

Yeah. I'm trying to not be personally really mad.

I want to know if I could put like thousands of tiny aerodynamic ceramic projectiles in orbit. Thats what I'd be doing if I was an evil supervillain.

not gonna lie, i am a cuddler, but you can cuddle anything, and i prefer to cuddle things that have sex with me.

hiring a professional cuddler, is like a new level of incel -- "I could pay someone to have sex with me, and then cuddle with me, but im just gonna cuddle" (im assuming these people charge alot for their service) although, if you choose not to pay for sex, or try to find a partner otherwise, wouldn't that make you voluntarily celibate? (VolCel)

c'mon bros get your dicks workin! I'm tired of hearing about the global emasculation of men.

unless, professional cuddler "more often than not" means prostitute, in which case I am happy to return your man card.

back before satellites were any good, the US govt launched roughly a billion needle sized metal shards into orbit to bounce radio signals off of

anything small-ish is gonna burn up upon re-entry tho, like the heat shield tiles work because its just one size of the tile being roasted on re-entry, and are constantly replaced on reusable vehicles

The thing about Evil supervillain plots on planet earth is that... if it's possible, someone has done or is doing it...

and then it circles back around to M.A.D.
