Nothing is binary

I took a bio psych class that got into neurotransmitters and shit, the professor started almost every class with:

“Normal” is just the average, if anyone was exactly “normal” they’d be the weirdest most unique human ever

Because a lot of people get freaked out about their own when they start learning about psychology or genetics, smacking them together and teaching 20 somethings is a recipe for existential crisis.

Your brain is sorting people into binary groups because that’s an easy shortcut our brain uses for everything. But what’s normal at the gathering of the juggalos is weird almost everywhere else. It’s all subjective and there’s a lot more ways than one to be normal.

Maybe someone is 99.9999% “normal” but they peel hard boiled eggs with their teeth like a psychopath. You’d never know till you saw them do it, but it would instantly recategorize them in your head as “weird” without a second thought.

But everyone knows they’re actually a unique snowflake, so it’s common for people to feel like they don’t belong to just one group. When it’s that everyone has that level of uniqueness, it’s just too much for our brains to keep track of, so we throw labels on people and treat them as groups.

Most people want to want for nothing…

But once that happens, then you start wanting the extra shit.

And humans are wired to never stop wanting extra shit, like through pretty much all of recorded history it has always taken a lot of work for someone to get to the point of wanting nothing once basic needs are met.

It’s something people devote literal lifetimes too, and still might not truly pull off.

Even if you meant it in a hyper pedantic way like seconds before death, they’d still all either want to live or want to die, the slice that truly wouldn’t care would be statistically insignificant

Eh, I disagree on both parts.

Lots of information out there, but it’s the equivalent of a Forrest full of virtually identical berries, 90% of which are poisonous.

And people are broke as fuck these days, you need wisdom to survive like that, and you earn it the hard way.

It’s just that when they have to devote so much energy to meeting their base needs, they can’t be assed to think about more abstract things.

Which is why the wealthy are never happy unless everyone else has nothing. When we’re comfortable enough to think ahead, we start asking why there’s any oligarchs to begin with. And their propaganda pitting us against each other isn’t as effective.

People are wise, you’re just judging fish by how well they can climb trees

Not because Hollywood is full of rapists tho…

More likely because talking about Epstein’s connections to Mossad lead to people (even Tucker Carlson) being killed shortly after.

Like, everyone wants to act like the endgame was just raping kids, but they didn’t need an international ring for that. The ring existed to gather blackmail on the rich and powerful, and that black mail was/is being used to ensure the people responsible don’t get held accountable by any country.

The same reason we won’t hear the real story, is the same reason at the end of the day most countries do whatever Netenyahu asks of them.

That’s how blackmail works, you get them for a “small” thing, but every time they do something so you won’t release it, that gets added to the list of blackmail material. So be ause the pile of blackmail material keeps growing, you get the mark to agree to worse things.

The shit that happened on Epstein’s island was horrible, but if we ever find out what people agreed to do to keep it quiet it’ll be French revolution vibes.

Why do you think they targeted him?

Before Epstein the ring was run by Maxwell’s dad for the Israeli government, Epstein just inherited it.

There’s a reason Israel is the country everyone turns to for surveillance, they’re blackmailing the people making the tech.

Like, it’s easy to get hung up on the raping of children, but the real sick shit is what they were blackmailing them to do so the evidence wouldn’t get released. What do you think these people wouldn’t agree to just to keep the lid on what’s in the files?

It’s wild that the first generation to do LSD in mass

I want to say hippies were less than 1% of that generation, but for some reason I think it was recorded as 2-3% which would be a gross over-estimate.

But for every hippie you think of sticking daisies in rifles, there was 100 spitting on Black kids for going to the school they were legally required to go to.

It would be like if in 2080 they think we’re all catboys with blue hair and 37 facial piercings.

Sure, those people exist as a fringe demographic, but they’re not the norm.

Bmost hippies had more issues with peers their own age than their parents age, that part of the folk tale gets left out tho, because the people who want us to think they were hippies and “grew out of it” were the ones beating hippies for being different.

All they were ever trying to do was lie to younger generations in the hopes they’d confirm to decades old social norms. Like, it’s weird how many people still don’t understand the boomers just lie about shit instinctively. They grew up in a world filled with lead and are literally incapable of caring about logical inconsistencies. They want younger generations to think they were cool, so they just fucking lied about what they were like as a generation.

If you ever run into a real deal old hippie some day, ask them what the majority of people their age was like back then.

2k is 1440p.

720 doubles to 1080.

1080 doubles to 1140

1140 double to 4k.

Companies all skipped 2k for the most part because all consumers cared about was resolution. That’s why the jump to 4k took so fucking long, for the most part we skipped an entire resolution generation. So even with 4k, all the other stuff wasn’t caught up.

Pretty much the same thing happened with 4g, the telecom corps agreed on a set of requirements to say they’d reached a new generation, but the numbers needed to go up before the tech was ready, so they all agreed to just claim 4g arrived, that’s why there was so many different flavors of 4g.

People really need to understand a lot of what “smart” TVs do is upscale the “4k” signal to something actually resembling real 4k.

Like how some 4k torrents are 3GB, and then a 1080p of the same movie is 20gb.

It’s “worse” resolution, but it looks miles better because it’s upscaling real 1080 to 4k instead of taking existing shitty 4k and trying to make it look better without just juicing the resolution.

So we don’t need 8k.content for 8k.tvs to be an incentive. We need real 4k media, then 8ks TV would show a real improvement.

Boomers economic policy is like if Issac Newton saw an apple falling from a tree, and came to the conclusion it would always accelerate at the same speed no matter what, even though the ground with the entire ass planet behind it is right fucking there.

Numbers can not constantly go up, it’s just that’s what was happening their whole lives and they can’t accept that their childhoods was a blip and not how things always were and always will be.

They just can’t wrap their heads around it. They have such shit tier empathy they can’t comprehend that they’re an exception.

They get to that level of wealth and power by a compulsive need to one-up each other…

Which means they’re gonna do horrible shit just to be the one who’s done the worst shit.

Let that cycle spin for a couple decades, and shit gets ugly

Yes…

Advertisers want you to pay attention to ads…

Unless OP is a corporation trying to get people to buy things, I don’t see the connection besides the word “attention”.

But I don’t think I’m gonna be able to help you understand that if that didn’t work

And it’s attention that we crave

You.

You crave attention, lots of people don’t

You shouldn’t assume everyone else thinks like you and is built like you, it’s never true and a sign of low empathy.

Fix that and you’ll get more attention and won’t crave it so much.

Isn’t this all just propaganda anyway to tank the value after the change?

What?!

Larry Ellison bought it last week, bad things you’re hearing isn’t “propaganda”…

It’s people who know what is happening, or even just who Larry Ellison is

Sony charges a monthly fee to play online…

It’s really getting to the point Gabe needs to cash out and turn Steam into a non-profit…

I trust him while he’s alive, but some day he’ll die, and who knows what will happen to Steam.

We could wake up one morning and find out there’s a $10 monthly fee to access Steam’s “services” including every game you ever purchased.

We can’t just cost on the hopes nothing changes forever.

Did they ever get it to be actual AI?

Last time I heard about it they were just paying very low wages to people in India to watch everyone on webcams or something stupid

Ease of use, manages updates and just keeps it all together.

My first PC games you had to exit windows and load the game thru DOS, it meant we learned how computers actually worked, but it was a hassle.

Not really…

The reason it will domino is AI companies can’t afford the hardware, so Nvidia “invests” in AI companies and trades hardware for shares.

They have like 100 billion just in OpenAI, which they’re leveraging into loans to make more of the chips no one can afford.

If openai goes down, the banks call in the loans Nvidia has openai for collateral. So then Nvidia will have to sell all their other shares of other AI companies to cover the loans, and likely will have to drastically cut production of AI chips, driving the cost up.

Now all those other AI companies that Nvidia just sold, can’t afford the higher price, because they couldn’t afford a subsidized price along with shares.

As those companies fold, it makes even less people who would even want to buy those AI chips at any prices, driving Nvidia further down and maybe all the way to bankrupt

That’s when it starts fucking with index funds and the wider market

But all those shadow banks won’t really get hit. They’re not holding stocks to make money, they’re buried treasure chests filled with liquid assets in case of emergency. The only way they’d be hit is if the currency they’re held in collapses. Even then, that method almost always includes safety deposit boxes with precious metals/jewels to account for that

You’ll know because when it dies it’s going to cause a huge market crash and take a shit ton of other companies with it…

Huh?

Assuming that’s true it wouldn’t mean “no”, it would mean:

They do, but they used to too
