The rise in visibility of subjective science (science of consciousness/spirituality) and integration of it with objective science will accomplish that.

Luckily the subjective sciences are already highly developed, just look at Kabbalah. You can read a thousand pages of it and you still won't understand a single word!


Maybe "the physical world" is a leaky abstraction!


... yes, so?


It's fascinating. So much creative breadth enabled by modern web and we've converted quite well one the one format for selling a new product or idea.

Not necessarily bad. I'm excited to see how this diverges again.


It's easy to talk to people about something if you name it. Same as header and footer, no?


Irrelevant, it's about the rhetorical device not the content.


Regardless I think it might really arise naturally then to some extent - regardless of "outside" perception. Like say when referring to counterproductive medical practices "Like doctors wearing neckties as germ reservoirs - not antivaxxers trying to avoid autism." Of course that deniability would be part of its appeal.


A bull shits regardless of intent. Is the standard for writers "human" or "golden calf"?


I will testify that the cost of never leaving the house is exceedingly high.


I really don't like people who empathize, but I suggest we shake hands anyway.


Not if it implies violating customer privacy. As a company you either have a customer or an employee - you can't have it both ways. There is one way it is ethical: when you have the informed consent of volunteers. That works for charities because there is no money being exchanged to corrupt the interaction.

IMO the only appropriate context for gaining training data is when you're explicitly paying people for that.

Informed consent does not mix with volunteering to make money for a private company. That people are ignorant does not justify abusing them.


Grab your tinfoil hats people, it's a conspiracy theorist!


"Free as in puppy" is something people say? I don't like this meme.


Which works if you're not looking for a wife!

In the context of Tesla, if the gigafactory is not the endgame.


I was thinking about that last bit earlier. What if gigafactory has spawned enough competition to make further aggressive development less necessary? Or what if there are tax breaks to be found in other states for a new plant (possibly with less of a focus on batteries)?

There are a lot of possibilities here, since the demand drivers won't appear for another year or so.
