Eugenicsy? Maybe. Too slow? Hell yes.

Oh so now the climate's really important to you?

I'll see your reasons for having a nicer climate and raise you 1 mass extinction. What's your plan for that, sprinkle hunger-suppressing drugs into the water?

If we're being responsible, it's not about choosing between cutting sunlight and cutting CO2 emissions, it's about CO2 cuts first and then maybe cutting sunlight. Just cutting sunlight and acting like it's fixing global warming is a joke (the punchline is mass extinction again! Hahaha!).

A good way to keep a few billion people from starving to death is to have a few billion less people in the future. We're starting to get population levels under control, so we're on the right path as long as we never, ever follow the advice of the nutball economists suggesting we should increase poopulation levels to keep their silly game running (I guess we need more unemployed people?).

It was funny the first time, but this is really annoying now.

I automatically read this in Christian Bale Batman voice XD

So what? They weren't anti-science. They didn't think that science and religion cannot occupy the same space. If they did, they would have been taking chunks out of their god with their work.

I, for one, welcome our new raccoon-descended overlords.

Sounds a lot like the meaning of "wage slave."

We're not so honest with our labels these days.

Very well, as long as you know. No point having a nicer climate for a little while as we set the stage for an oceanic mass extinction.

At some point in the future, we probably will, but for now we've created for ourselves plenty of margin for error between the current conditions and triggering an ice age.

Furry future? O_O

Well bad news, we've been fucking with it heavily for a couple hundred years with no plan whatsoever, and we're still mostly acting like it's no big deal.

People will be really bitter about that positive sci-fi when those research grants build a powerful AI which is immediately used to make a replica Manna system.

Technology is a neutral force multiplier, and in our society evil is more powerful than good. Unless the AI spontaneously turns evil in the story, as in the Terminator movies, it's not saying AI is scary and dangerous. It's saying our society is scary and dangerous and this is what we'll do with the power of AI.

So maybe it is better if we stay away from some technologies until we're collectively mature enough to do positive things with them instead of using them to make things worse.

I find it funny how people who defend capitalism in this day and age like to say that what we have is "crony capitalism" and if we'd just give real capitalism a try for once it would be super awesome.

What does that sound like?

No, a camrip is pointing a camera at the screen. A screener means a pre-release DVD/BR version of the movie distributed to movie festivals, celebrity reviewers, etc, usually these have identifying information overlaid at some position on the screen (which the ripper can blur out).

Deep Learning is the next marketing buzzword, perhaps with good reason this time.

So you didn't even read TFS. If you did you'd see how ocean surface temperatures can affect temperatures lower down.

But you're beyond not trying to answer your own questions. You've become a tinfoil-hatted conspiracy theorist, while a real, factually provable conspiracy operates to maintain your belief.
