We do have a functioning fusion reactor. It has about four and a half billion years left worth of fuel. It pours more energy into the earth alone than a hundred civilizations could use, to say nothing of the untapped energy it pours elsewhere.
Nonsense, value of dollar can be set in a world powered by any energy source adequate to produce needed goods and services. If fusion is sufficient, dollar is fine.
order of magnitude off, it's about $2 billion per year total.
Rational induction is all that is needed to debunk "the singularity". Instead, fear war and other dirty rotten things humans can do to each other.
Yes, that is the one that doesn't and will not ever exist.
You are confused, this has nothing to do with "big government". People have no faith in the federal government for other reason, namely being power and money grubbing megacorporate bitches.
you mean interesting to hear the cops banter while they pistol whipped the guy until he gave them the password? Hell, here in Chicago the cops beat people for jollies even if they don't need anything.
You don't understand, with your CDs the AOL CD fairy's work was done. There were $300 million of nuisance CDs at America Online, but the AOL CD fairy took a few at a time and flew all over the world for over a decade. It took a long, long time but he finally managed to dump a few of those unwanted CD off at each house in the first world.
The USA is only 4 percent of the globe's population, get your head out of your ass and consider the whole human world.
At least the asteroid exists, your "Singularity" does not
bitcoins only have value as long as they are convertible to dollars and euros. they can cease to have any value in a very short time. they aren not accepted in most places while dollars and euros are
actually linux only became strong after corporations put in features business wanted, and other corporation monetized it including ways to have vendor lock-in
and the highest per capita gun ownership is in low crime areas in the USA. The big cities severely restrict or forbid gun ownship (like Chicago which was forced to allow it, so immediately installed a permit system that doesn't issue), but they have the high gun crime.
Logic fails you anti-gun nuts. Toronto only has 2,000 gang members, about 1/35th the number of Chicago which is city the same size, but they still manage over 160 gun deaths per year by those gang members.
the areas in the USA with high gun ownership have the least crime, meanwhile cities where they are heavily controlled or forbidden have violent subcultures that commit most the crime. Where I live, guns and ammo are sold over the counter but the crime rate is very low. Meanwhile, in Chicago less than ten miles away.....
To do nothing is to be nothing.
