we need 2 tink deep deep deeper here u c cryptO is abOut a new way 2 transact - dOllas r ded u cannOt even express yOurself in terms Of dOllas

but Of cOrse cryptO is cway cwayz Or maybe it is just cwayz when ca$h mOnkey is still in usage - in the end cryptO demands u have 2 be all in and bitcccOin is the mOst vOcal - bitcccOin is self cOntradictOry in that it says u shOuld b mOre free and thereby embrace bitcccOin and yet u shOuld reject all chOice except 4 bitcccOin

but watt if bitcccOin is the final chOice we all make in the end? then we wOuld have 2 fOrce bitcccOin 2 wOrk 4 us insted Of against us

there wOuld be nO mOr ca$h mOnkey nO mOr dOllas and bitcccOin wOuld perhaps behave in all ways mOr friendly 2 everything

it has been sed: "Carbon taxes have to go up to a point where operating coal, oil and gas can't be used for cryptomining, which means most electricity prices have to go up 10-20x."

well sed

Technically, yes, miners and energy providers are within certain rights.

However, it seems that a lemming has popped up and seen the precipice. Now it shouts.

People aren't lemmings. People see a problem coming. Are miners lemmings? Are they too invested or too greedy to stop? Just remember, if the grid has to be upgraded upgraded upgraded upgraded it's your tax money (or else move) and what do you get out of it?.

>India needs to own up

no ... the market should fix itself. This is how capitalism is supposed to work otherwise any time one sector does something stupid you need people to own up?

Definitely government wants to solve the problem.

But, there is more than one problem.

Have to look at all the problems together. Can suggest this or that, but these suggestions will likely be mystically not applied because there are problems that are not considered.

So what gives?

There are a couple of details to consider. Money and votes.

People have to speak up, say what they feel. This causes money spending to be acceptable. This causes politicians to say things or do things that people vote for. If the solution to the problem occurs, it might just be a side effect. The people have to say enough things about ALL the problems in order for some side effects to occur that are desirable.

Things like jobs might result in government revenues and votes in the right direction. So increased safety mechanisms lead to more jobs, That might be favorable to politicians. Compare to airport security - there wasn't time wasted implementing more of that kind of thing.

Gun control - loss of jobs in gun industry

Mental health issues or social issues, better doors and cameras, armed guards/teachers - increased jobs

Tip: if people can embrace in advance what government plans to do, the fewer mental health issues.

You want restrooms with glass walls?

On the Enterprise, the doors opened when you walk toward them.

That's the message that is being conveyed. People want to walk through. If you can see your destination, why is there glass in the way? Do you put glass in the middle of your kitchen? And if you want to tell people "don't walk this way", just leave something in the path of predictable traffic, like a nest of vipers.

Agent 86's cone of silence

Well, well, apparently the uranium leaches from rocks in the ocean.

Suggestion: go get the rocks. The stuff in the water is chicken feed.

> > a point to prevent anyone from profiting from access to clean water.

I think the point is to prevent people from using underhanded ways of screwing with something already good for the sake of profit.

Unfortunately, access to things already good is getting scarcer. Oh, it sucks to be a selfish little shit.

Hooray, Sponge Bob

Let me try to answer the question "Is social media causing childhood depression?"

Firstly I do not have empirical data, so I have to use intuition, common sense, etc.

My opinion is that social media and indeed the whole power of the internet "causes" or leads to people in general, not just kids, being smarter, more knowledgeable, more ambitious, more inspired, etc. In this line of thought, people have greater desires. The desires are broader, more conflicted, more sophisticated, and so on. Naturally, people are confronted by competition and their own limitations while seeing others succeed or fail. Ok, these are some of the psychological forces that occur in the internet world, and they will occur even if social media evolves.

The power of social media is a gateway to strife for all frequent users, not just children, though children may be least mature. Possibly exposure at a young age allows a child to absorb social media into life so long as the child has enough power against negative forces. If the child can retreat to an arms length position where an antagonist cannot physically reach the child, then the child can adapt.

Childhood vulnerability to online forces might be greatest with forces that are perceived to be positive. Overtly negative forces could prompt a child to switch the channel so to speak. Children would probably be the most easily fooled by temptations that lead deeper and deeper. Then, depression would be only one of the milder concerns.

The world is complex, and social media is a valid tool for exposing children to aspects of the world, with much needed control and guidance. There is a fine line between the vast regions of underexposure and overexposure.

Also, social media is a tool for self expression, and children need to learn how to construct as well as reach out. Even the denial of social media could lead to negative effects. Such is the complexity of society and powerful communications.

All dissatisfaction with communism and government interference aside, maybe it's time for government to build large scale cryptocurrency miners in order to reduce the energy inefficiency while earning more revenues. Government is always looking for revenues. People are always looking for a way to reduce taxes. Government is already facing the problem of building the power plants for the mining. Might as well go all the way and mine.

But in this tale of human intellect, why would a smart person who can do a job like this want to do it?

Relax. A lawn chair and a bunch of drones or helium balloons, you're all set.
