Re: Dystopian images and videos



I wouldn't have predicted that the first movie actor/actress swap would be fueled by culture war.

Re: Is Civilization Collapsing?

The more I think about this the more I believe this perception is all about cheap energy. Europe is facing a crisis because energy got (super) expensive. Brazil is facing a bloom (people are happier and future seems bright) because energy got cheaper. In this thread by energy I mean any forms of it:...

Re: The "I, Robot" interrogation scene, revisited

Re-watching this scene it is clear that we need new movies with more up-to-date AIs and more realistic scenarios given our updated technology in the field. If these movies take too long we run the risk of having real AI/Robot sooner than them :lol:

Re: Is Civilization Collapsing?

Only temporarily hence the true reason of COVID-19. Whatever it gets rebuilt back into will be of whatever plan is in motion right now. Don't fear it as much when I became actually educated on the track of things back in 2018. My biggest regret is all that time wasted before 2018. Taking all this e...

Re: Infinite Growth, is it possible?

The answer is no* (but with a huge asterisk). The universe is relatively infinite giving our human scale. Even the solar system is quite immense and will surely fulfill all our needs as a species. Earth is effectively untouched so far, we're literally (and here I mean literally literally) skimming t...

Re: The Line, Saudi Arabia

I think it is pretty cool. Should've been a circle instead of a line, though.

Re: The future of Brazil

How foreigners see Brazil is heavily biased by their source of partisan news/information. During the time I've lived in Germany I didn't see a single positive message about Brazil in the local media. I've lived there since 2018 until the end of last year. Brazil is not the best country out there, bu...
