Was he seen alive recently? For all we know, that was just a pricey cremation.

He was paid in exposure, pride, and accomplishment.

In terms of the current systems we have in the west, yes. In terms of older revolutions no. It wasn't intended to be a universal statement.

And I said generally. Not absolutely as your 'all' implies. The anchor for what I consider a person with excellent ideals and a beacon for humanity is MLK.

But you're welcome to think of me as a moron if it helps you fulfil your outrage needs. Sleeping well at night is important.

What doesn't? At this point I'd guess most people want him dead.

You just have to look at the EU. CC rewards aren't really much of a thing here. Because as I understand it, those companies are capped on how much they can charge vendors. In return, customers get cheaper products upfront rather than in some roundabout dodgy way.

AGI, nanobots, fully autonomous self driving cars, cancer cures and aging cures, significant life extension

I don't know what AGI stands for but as for the others, I'm not sure you have a full grasp.

Self driving cars is a non issue. Cars aren't sustainable, we don't have space for them and let's not even mention pollution (yes, even electric).

Cancer research is a sliding scale. The survival rate for cancer now is much bigger than it was e.g. 50 years ago.

It's highly arguable whether a cure for aging is a good thing. The people most interested in this tend to be rich, selfish folks. Besides, that wouldn't fix things like a fucked joint, which isn't an issue exclusive to old age. This success would open up opportunity for much misery.

Nanobots are robots in the nano scale. We have been making ever smaller robots. I'd argue that this is also a sliding scale, with microbots having loads of applications and so on.

The people who generally want to destroy a system and rebuild anew are usually clueless or have an ulterior motive.

While we are nowhere near the best we could be, we are also nowhere near the worst we have been in the past. Today is the result of an endless amount of people putting their effort, and often their lives, into improving society. This fight never ends.

Ah yes. Headline spoilers. Why not?

That head grab before the kiss though. Looks like he is used to forcing these things.

I wish they'd share the matplotlib plots of my data.
