Which to me just doesn’t make sense.
The man is hungry for attention and respect. His money would have bought him that and then some.
It was right there. Don’t buy a super yacht and you’d effectively buy good will and get to one up all the rich elite club members, even if it doesn’t work. And all that free marketing to help the numbers go up.
I dunno. Maybe money at that level just rewires the brain.
Well put! Thank you.
Ouch.
But thank you? a. For considering my attempt at formatting and absurdity with clankers. I would argue that to be human is to accept the absurdity of it all. But I guess it is getting tricky…
Out of curiosity, I did ask some llms my baby throwing question:
b. For at least entertaining my notion I understand that it’s all subjective… that’s why I was trying to define a scale, or at least a comparison.
c. You did help me get closer to an answer. If I take a loose definition of Trust as being my ability to predict its behaviour [and its ability to not harm me] (which I think is fair but arguable…), I would trust a rock more than an adult (and somehow even a baby more than an adult). In my hypothetical world, a trusted consenting adult would help me throwing them thus increasing the overall distance. So the positive correlation is more fitting in most cases (at least in that assumption).
I fully acknowledge the absurdity and the stupid premise. I thought this was nostupidquestions.
{Edited to try fix formatting… Ugh can’t. It stays. Thank you for bearing with me! Hope you have a nice day.}
I hear you and yep, since throwing ability is limited, trust is in short supply.
Which is why I wanted to consider that throwing ability can vary and therefore the amount of trust. And what can I extrapolate from this scale!
You could figure out your reading speed and then build/find an auto page turner function.
Nice work though!
Perplexity is protecting itself.
Yay! There are dozens of us (probably more since I guess it has leaped out of cult status)
Oh oh and I’m also open to recommendations if there’s some other movie that you feel is similar and worthy.
Thank you and hope you have a nice time!
You might enjoy a movie called “The man from earth”
Dang, hope you’re ok.
Shit does suck but you will be surprised at your agency, looking back, however small.
I pray you mean self deletion in a digital or a metaphysical context. In which case, would recommend. Everyone needs a level of ego death to thrive. If struggling, then there are books you can read, activities to experience, drugs you can take and interesting people you can meet (therapy is great for ego death) to help shake your framing of reality.
Sending you good wishes stranger. And my fav quote recently.
“If you look for the light, you may sometimes find it. If you look for the dark, that’s all you’ll ever see.”
Your list is getting quite long but here’s another less week known movie:
Nine Days (by Edson Oda)
Nice!
I’d also like to add “Turd Reich” to the submission box.
That image and your description helped a ton. So there isn’t a magic zone but more of a threshold after which things get easier to maintain.
Really should start playing Kerbal Space Program as someone before pointed out. You seem to have a great conceptual model of this. Thank you for engaging 🙂
Appreciate your response!
It clicked when you mentioned “multiple Earth widths” which made me realise how large space is and why my assumption of blasting debris out of orbit is so insane.
And your aside is now even more amazing given the vastness and the eons of time required to make it all function without it collapsing into a big hole. It’s one thing to be slightly aware of space shenanigans and another to actually ponder.
I’m glad there are such safety standards… just learnt of the Kessler Syndrome down below and it’s a scary thought of humanity creating it’s own prison
Thanks.
Cheers for the detailed response! Seems I’ll have to scratch the destruct button from my imaginary space station and replace with a simple thruster.
Didn’t realise particles shooting away from Earth wouldn’t realistically come down again. I’ll have to read up more on Orbital mechanics
Thank you for your response!
Pardon my crappy drawing and simplification… trying to understand…
Is that right?
But yes, there goes my self destruct notion down the drain.
Thank you so much for the detailed response. That Kessler syndrome is scary…
So the best method is a controlled reentry. From the wikipedia link, I’m now inspired to replace the self destruct button to a megawatt laser for dealing with debris.
It’s probably because of the English. Don’t get too close to them.
