That argument would seem to apply to insects with eye markings as well, so can't be correct here.

good. maybe we can get back to doing work that brings meaning to people's lives.

fossil fuels!

"get a job, landlord" or "apply for unemployment"

but really there should be some minimum UBI so that nobody starves or lives on the streets.

The issue is the privacy of the people they're interacting with.

this is the important realization from this time. This whole thing is made up - we can organize society around a model that isn't based on forcing people to work a (many times useless) job in order to eat food and sleep somewhere.

Great discussion of this topic on the media criticism podcast Citations Needed last week. "How 'Polarization' Discourse Flattens Power Dynamics and Says Nothing" https://soundcloud.com/citationsneeded/episode-112-how-polar...

the cop's autopsy blamed underlying health conditions, unsurprisingly. They'll protect their own at all costs and lie to us in broad daylight. Abolish the police.

paying for the councelling of the moderators.

they did not imply top-down organization.

exactly, that sounds rad. We don't have to do all of this busywork. Post scarcity is here.

It's because the brunt of the problem doesn't affect the people who have the choice to live wherever they want.

It's been several years since I've had access to a planetarium to test, but back around 2015 it had support for full-dome projection, though it wasn't bug-free. It may have improved, but planetariums have never made it very high on Vladimir's priority list for the program, at least back then. I think he could easily dominate that market if he went for it, with his only real competition being Uniview (http://www.scalingtheuniverse.com/)

If I remember correctly, I mapped many keyboard shortcuts to navigate quickly and without obstructing the view significantly. That said, it definitely took a lot of flying practice to not get me and the audience sick while shooting around the galaxy.

There really is no comparison to this program and it's a shame that it doesn't get more attention and support. I used to use it all the time when I worked at a planetarium giving free form tours of the universe with just a joystick and a microphone. It is the closest I will ever get to exploring the universe, and I've found no better tool for showing others the cosmic perspective.

Looks like it's using Google's geolocation API: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geolocation...

I'm a third of the way through the Vital Question - absolutely amazing read so far. The concept of eukaryotes' high energy per gene opening up the doors for all of this marvelous complexity is so simple and powerful. Can't wait to keep reading.

Really digging the design and functionality on this! Nice work.
