As long as it needs to be to satisfy his wallet and those of his friends, but at least I can buy a Lasercutter if the Pump's gonna be wild.

The non-romantical answer: Once you die, you're broken down into atoms again and are recycled into whatever may find what's left of you.

In that case: Freakin' amazeballs!

Honestly why would Putin stop at where he is? What would he have won with that? A tiny piece of landmass which isn't going to be respected as "his" by, well, most of the world? It's a test-run.

2): Wtf man, of course Putin would break any "Vow" that'd be made "with the USA".

Why? Because who fuckin' cares if it's Ukraine-controlled resources or Russian-controlled?

All Trump cares about is deals, that's it. He'll get the resources one way or the other. He's not somebody that should be in the position of POTUS.

He's a businessman trying to hunt short-term deals which will most certainly blow out some American- and Global joints sooner or later, it's pathetic that we've come to this point.

The only possible way I see Putin stop at the current lines, is either a European or American-European-Mix of troops IN Ukraine BEHIND a demilitarized zone - think South-North Korea.

I've tried it a year or two ago, sadly many of the items ve tried weren't sorted in their database, but the things that were available were cool.

Yeah, but then again: You're a legend and legends don't die.

Most likely absolutely nothing I wouldn't be doing otherwise.

Yep, he has.

Hm, that makes it shine in a whole other spotlight.

The key point is that he does so without difficult equations and heaps of numbers. 😁

I'd like to dabble into game theory as well at some point, though. The part about Prisoner's Dilemma was quite interesting.

Ai... Math...

Any relatable books you can shill to me?

I get what you mean, he's also very "confident" in pointing out other's mistakes and the solution to it... 😄

Have you read "The extended Phenotype"? I'm thinking about getting that one on a later day, but have read that its kinda technical; any input?

Coincidentally, I just finished one of Dawkins' books called "The Selfish Gene", I really enjoyed it.

What's even the point of these posts?..

Oh come on.

Meanwhile I'm daydreaming about a "Black Death 3.0" which selectively kills of bad genes in the populace; not only would the amount of humans decline, but the chances of conceiving children with a predisposition for developing serious / deadly diseases / handicaps would also shrink greatly.

What's "ZPT"?

It's absolutely human-caused, and I don't see us change anything to combat it - at least not in the dimensions needed.

Humans are egoistic by nature, thus I only see AI or fusion as a last-ditch effort to barely keeps things right; that, or we'll have to adapt to new living circumstances.

Only if you guys bring some hot sauce.
