Make sure you count the fingers on the AI generated "astronauts"

I once drove through Oregon without stepping out of my car, only stopping for traffic lights.

Some people are unhappy with fairness, and only happy with relative advantage. You are under no obligation to satisfy those people.

There's quite a few papers on the subject already. Those wacky liberal arts schools and philosophy doctorates diving in deep on things that mathematics, science and engineering students would prefer to ignore.

As for Golden (and Silver) rules, Immanuel Kant already commented on that famously in Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and part of Kant school's categorical imperative philosophy.

I can't really drag through philosophy texts, I'm beaten after a few pages. But in Dennis E. Taylor's Bobiverse series (Book 4: Heaven's River) the alien species there defined a different set of Golden and Silver rules. Our version of the Golden rule is renamed the Silver Rule. Their Golden Rule is to treat others in a way the others want to be treated. It's a work of fiction, so not necessarily intended to be taken as a strict life philosophy, given the potential loopholes it introduces.

Making deals according to principles of compromise in the pursuit of mutual benefit would be a start. I wish more people would approach life that way. Arranging for mutual benefit can be thought of as the basis for all cooperation and human society. Because why would I participate in a society if its only goal is to screw me out of even the most basic of necessities. (starting to stray into Hobbes' Social contract now)

For every human they banned there are 10,000 AI bots doing worse. YT is quickly becoming irrelevant drivel, and I hope the viewership quits letting Alphabet treating them like "users". Because it's no different from being a drug user/addict.

I would argue that just because impartial and objective fairness is unsolved does not mean it is unsolvable.

I assume by "The Bible" that you mean some version of the Christian Bible that can be traced to the compilation defined as the Canon of Scripture at the Council of Rome in 382.

Texts recorded over a span of a few thousand years, but traced back to oral history much further. From a large library of what was available at the time, scholars discussed and compiled various sets in order to represent their own view of Christianity. With the Old Testament living heavily from Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible (Septuagint). Really, it took centuries of development before a consistent Bible ever appeared. With older editions containing rather interesting apocrypha that cannot be directly tied to either Christianity or Judaism origins but nonetheless included in many texts.

Almost certainly discouraged according to the text for Christians. Probably sacrilegious for Jews. Christians are not bound by laws in the Old Testament; being replaced by the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2).

P.S. I'm not a Christian. I amuse myself by studying their lore like I might any mythology. But let's be honest folks, the Olympic pantheon is way more entertaining.

The various things you've said over the years make most of us call everything you say into question. As to the why, we don't know why you would do that, attention maybe? I guess burning your personal reputation for so long has this small consequence, but I'm not worried, I don't think it will alter your behavior in the slightest.

A drought climate is not simply a binary state, an either you is or you ain't. There is nuance here, and we have seen a shift in the drought cycles over the last 100 years.

That's already done to a degree. But changes in the drought cycle hinder that. And addition of some invasive species had made it impossible in some areas. Invasive brooms blaze out of control even when trying to clear away a single season of growth. So it must be cut out first, which takes time and man power.

Interesting idea. I mean there are some snags, like that children ride bikes too. And if the smoke gives them a life-long respiratory disease then society will be on the hook paying for it. Either because your nation has taxpayer funded healthcare, or because private insurers will have to raise premiums in order to maintain profits.

I mean I used to run `xscreensaver -root` on Linux some 25 years ago as a novelty, but this is cool too.

That's what we do here. But we suspend controlled burns during drought. Dang climate change making forest management trickier than it was 2,000 years ago.

Yea, my Dad has a landscape rake for his Cub Cadet. And you can scale the concept up in size.

Of course, a landscape rake is not going to work in the coastal forests here. It will get hung up on coyote brush and roots. And coastal redwoods grow in tight clusters, where even a hand rake is not easily brought between them. (I helped my neighbor clear up his "yard" of 40 redwoods. It looks beautiful now and a local couple had their wedding there shortly after).

For me, a brush cutter on the front of a skid steer vehicle is the only way to manage my property. Essentially what looks like a mower deck that sits in front of a tracked vehicle. The deck has an array of polygonal blades and it'll cut through small trees and chop up brush into chunks a few inches in length. From there they can be spread out to decompose or raked up and bagged to move elsewhere. I have a lot of invasive species, so we left it in place to avoid spreading broom to new locations during transport.

Ack, dang unicode quotes got me!

Youâ(TM)ve got to take care of the floors. You know the floors of the forests, itâ(TM)s very important.
Finland is a forest nation. And they spent a lot of time on raking and cleaning and doing things, and they donâ(TM)t have any problem.

Sure, Jains have an entirely different reason. But the other religion I was referring to was some schools of Buddhism

Some. But a few other religions don't eat onions and garlic. My understanding are these hot and tasty foods arouse carnal desires in those that eat them. But for some practitioners the are not supposed to fulfil their material desires.
