I think "personhood" refers to the ability to sign contracts though. It has nothing to do with voting.

The problem is with humanity giving up control to machines.

I mean, humanity (especially in the West) has already given up large amounts of power to corporate CEOs, which can be modelled as soulless machines well enough, but installing AI would take it even one step further.

"personhood" by the law only refers to the ability to sign contracts.

companies and states already have that.

what you're talking about is a "natural person".

it's worth a try, and better than doing nothing.

wages can go lower, but what will the people eat?

the people would need subsidies by the rich, which hurts the economy!

ok so this is inconsistent

i read two fucking weeks ago that economists around the world are waking up to the idea that people should have fewer children because otherwise the rich and corporations might have to pay taxes to provide income to the people that the wages don't. if there's fewer people, they don't need to pay people subsidies so much. trump should talk to his economists.


edit: context: wages are predicted to drop so low over the next 20 years that people will not be able to feed themselves on wages alone. social unrest is painful and to avoid it, some sort of Universal Basic Income will be unavoidable. That would have to be paid for by taxes that the rich would have to pay, since literally nobody else has any money. You see where this is going: the rich don't like their wealth to be taxed.

chances are high he also wouldn't have been able to finish the talks in a meaningful way due to his health condition.

here, have some spare ones:

i had them in stock.

also note that the Holocaust did not only target Jews, but also homosexuals and other minorities. Yet when talking about WW2 victims, you mostly learn about Jews. Why is that?

It's because (some) Jews have perfected the art of victimizing themselves more than others, in the expectation to get more favorable treatment from the world this way.

i don't really believe that because there's a large number of people who would already want to go to mars. it's not like they're lacking willing participants.

lololol satire writes itself these days

US Vice President JD Vance has called on European states to show greater independence, urging them not to be US "vassals." He also said EU governments could have done more to oppose Washington over the Iraq War.

fully agree, couldn't agree more. many died, for what?
