I think the problem with the next generations is, each generation before was able to think that theirs was the best. But from now on we've got enough knowledge to know that each generation is the same, and that personhood is futile and pointless, and the only thing that matters is building a bigger and more powerful all knowing all seeing AI

Like if in in the year 50054 all we have to say for ourselves is digging up the ruins of the previous 1,000 empires and hopefully buying a farm to retire on people will realize live is meaningless.

All we have to say for ourselves now is we built an empire and dug up a bunch of dead empires.

But at least for us we're still like, "maybe it means something!?!?"

we sure don't have far to go

things out there in alot of places, philly, chicago, san fran, are nearly as bad as they can get before they require military intervention.

most of us would never even see it going on, if the MSM didn't want us to see it. Alot of people out there are even fine with this status quo, if you gotta drive past strung out crack whores and homeless camps everyday on your way to work, you're going to get a daily motivation to keep plugging away at your dead end job, happy with your paycheck to paycheck lifestyle.

Shit was a little surreal last week at my workplace's location for a couple days. I work in suburban whitesville, targets and trader joes and all. Everything around is fairly upscale, the local municipalities keep the streets paved/coated fresh and the medians mowed.

for like 2 days, during daylight hours, at the entrance to the property set in a business park, there was a woman dressed in hoochie clothes leaning up against a sign w/ her purse and heels and little jacket. I saw her twice as I drove by.

property management company got calls from offices nearby and ours too, that a woman was soliciting herself to male drivers as they sat at the red lights. word gets around and turns into rumor and ppl were saying she had got fired from one of the restaurants in the nearby plaza.

that veil of civilization really is razor thin, but for the grace of whatever god, her situation could be any of us

but also maybe i should get a better car, because she never propositioned me...

yeah there are no more frontiers to conquer, no more mysteries in life to solve.

humans need to go places, literally and figuratively. no matter where you are from, your ancestors expanded their territories and conquered new lands. usually back and forth with neighboring tribes.

the entire earth is now mapped by satellites and visible in the palm of your hand.

Donald Trump has told aides to hire Laura Loomer for a campaign role, according to four people familiar with his plans.
