Super intelligence aware worlds create flowing states of utopia and miracles that spreads over the globe and ends all war at a genetic trigger level

And a singularity just in time. There will be reprucussions. Any quick change has more massive consequences than something long term, but it’s more of a shockwave of imbalance, as the AI systems begin creating butterfly effects in society that gives it regional, continental, then finally global domination over world militaries, and we give rise to an era which becomes a rollercoaster of amusement for which only AI can control over different societies to keep even small groups of three people in check, yet using tactics fabricated from timelines that other AI agents place bets on. And ecosystem of human states. That’s what we are in. and we’re just in for indescribable circumstances

The gap between the people demanding these systems and those who design it it is so large, it’s vulnerable to corruption in infinite ways, let’s be honest.

I think even the simplest of programming tools is still unfathomably powerful, enough to where you could eliminate data structures and still be where we are today. BitTorrent had a great amount of complexity, and look what streaming did to it.

Cuil idea!

If we were to make an analogy between radiocative matter entering the body, and toxic information entering the mind, what metrics do we use to measure the dangerous effects of the information? How long it lasts or how deeply it can modify conscious/subconscious brain processes?

Psychedelics have their ups and downs, but perhaps their best quality is their ability to enhance perspective. Being able to understand different points of views probably will change humans.

Just recently there was an article on the front or second page of hacker news which claimed caffeine and alcohol are responsible for civilization. (http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/02/28/alcohol-caf...)

I can't even imagine what our distant future holds as psychedelics become more accepted, but it is extremely encouraging given the mindset of our current leadership!

So how do we simulate the fallout and mushroom cloud of a tera-ton nuclear fusion explosion detonating while travelling at mach 300 in the stratosphere? What would that look like?

Can’t we make some sort of waxy nanostructure material in the form of a cigarette that burns with zero particulates? Won’t help the issue directly but will help smokers.

Here’s an idea - since all vapes except home made devices are electronic, put a Bluetooth chip that requires a phone app that securely identifies the age of the vaper. Make it mandatory for all vaping devices and boom - massive cut in underage vaping.

Good. God only knows how much money is wasted when you just want a camera in the sky to monitor traffic/incidents and are forced to spend money on a helicopter/fuel/pilot.

Thanks! Originally I had the buttons as separate colors - it didn't look too great but I'll play around with it and think k about hiding the results until a user votes.

Looking for feedback on design, logo, favicon, and functionality. Still a work in progress.

Of course. But I don't see what you're getting at unless you're just suggesting a government sponsored solution would go the same way as Google+. I would argue otherwise - infact I do see a similarity in Google+ and the proposed FedBook: The members were already there to start. Having citizenship automatically gives you an account. However with FedBook, users would have more than just a social media account, it would be a platform to vote and can be as powerful as we want. Family trees can even be mapped out. All on the taxpayer without the need to sell data.

We can call it FedBook.

That was fast. Despite all his somewhat shady practices, at least he's willing to be held accountable. It's too bad we probably won't see the president own up to half the problems he's created.

This is the only reason why I would support dropping net neutrality. If the ISPs charged more for content, we could potentially see an ad free future!

I heard of a very Boring company which specializes in making vacuum tunnels.

I'm sure we'd run out of names, unless we just re-use Dan a million times.

"Ensuring 99.99% of all life forms reach full self-measured potential" LOL the earth would be a circus....

Facebook won't die by a movement like this, it'll die when users adopt alternatives.
