When I was in grade school we had multiple lessons on using Boolean search terms to find useful information. Google-fu used to mean something.

Sometimes I like to think about what the world would look like if Columbus sank in the Atlantic. How long until another European sailed West?

I'll be deep in the ground before I play along with that kind of shallow pandering.

Well it started with a genocidal colonial project. Then it started with the repression of class revolts like Bacon's Rebellion. Then it started with the framing of a union of states that gave extra representation to rural slave-owners because their economic production was important. But it all started when those rural slave-owners wanted to make sure that new territorial expansions (remember, genocidal colonial project) also allowed slavery. Later it started when Lincoln was assassinated and his successor, Andrew Johnson, gave up on Reconstruction so the seditious slave-owning traitors weren't held accountable for the sedition or slavery and were allowed back into seats of political power.

Innovation is not the most important trait a society can chase, I'd rather judge on how they treat those that need the most help.

The planet is better off with fewer people

Fuck off with that ecofascist soft genocide shit.

I just firmly disagree that parents should have that much control over their offspring. Government-mandated care and responsibilities are important, this includes safety laws and restrictions. This includes limiting the stuff they're exposed to.

But children need to be raised and parents shouldn't have carte blanche to fuck their kids up in the name of personal liberty.

The concept of society is fundamentally opposed to your "everyone is responsible solely and completely for themself" ideal up there. I have a vested interest in people not throwing their life away.

And it's different from all the times other directors have an actress take her top off?

Other than that it's work that junior coders could be doing, to develop the next generation of actual good developers.
