Yep, and as a MAGA guy I hate that THEDONALD supports crypto ... as he foolishly supports casual AI. I view crypto as little more than counterfeiting. Now indeed ... some "bright bulb" will assert crypto as < lending > ... from one person with no hard assets to another person with no assets. I view that "take" as bad-faith. Kinda like a California cuttie who burns down a forest, calculates the value of the wood he has burned ... and then uses that value as collateral for a bank-loan.

Checks & balance trope is manifest & evident in the American Constitution. It's a necessary part of America being a republic, not a monarchy or democracy. Local "warlords" , elites & sociopaths of every stripe flail against it.

Some "frees" deserve protection ... some to be hated. Consider < free chocolate bunny distributors >. They are folk-heros of the neighborhood and deserve purple-stripe T-shirts. OTOH consider < free rapists >. They are properly shot-dead in the street. Now ... FLOCK gives us < free privacy <rapists >. How is that "free" behavior to be treated? I ho;d that citizens have a right to personal privacy everywhere. So no "broadband" public cameras or sound recorders allowed --- not on cellphone not in eyewear. I consider all those <privacy rape>, and those people who exploit that technology < rapists>.

Shame if those privacy-raping FLOCK cameras started "breaking". Lil' bits here and there ... and everywhere . Kinda like aggressive poisoning of malware on the WEB; nee-kapping codrboiz who write malware. Eh ? A shame I say ... all those lil' bits of plastic and all that pain ... a shame ...

No reason to invade England ? IMVHO you forget Brit trout streams, lake pike and Welsh grouse barrens. All more important than oil, and all under pressure in America. Plenty of reasons to invade -- and conquer. King George would have understood ! Then ... steamship migrant Muzziwogs and Haitians back to their desert/jungle shitewholes and HOHO ... you have 19-th Century Brit country-side. and etiquette. Lots of room for new American sporting estates ... analogous to Brits using Ireland during the Stuart period !

I hate kids addiction to digital ... but ... suppose the young boy/girl spends all their spare time with hand-tools. The 7 YO gracefully applies a planer or gouge to a planks, or file or hand-saw or mechanical drill and screwdriver. What if the 9 Y/O meditates over a foot-powered lathe? I have seen craft output from students of a few remaining "tek" high schools, and the craft-quality is amazing. Kids could sell everything they make, if their mothers didn't want the tables and shelves and dressers themselves. Now, back to 8-YO coding .... I really struggle with approving of one and disliking the other. Where is the :"red-line" ?

You nailed it, except for: "Mitigation is demanded." What's demanded is reduction of the human population from 8-billion to 1.5 billion. For example, the "self-supporting yeomanry " population of North America is 125-million and of India 250-million. In the great scheme, matters not what reduces the population, as long as intermediate-term environmental constraints are not violated by the cull. Naturally, everyone wants a place on the < arc >. But, that is not possible. Rejecting peonage & ant-farms. earth must have a net 6-billion deaths in the next 50 years. Since everything, but violence will be ignored, seems likely humans -- about to be born -- are set for a nice juicy nuclear war.

Would you prefer a feedback loop that increases global cooling by 30%, in a world-climate-system hell-bent on entering another ice age ? I know --- you like your sun-tan booths. Goldilocks is a cartoon character ... remember ? Billions of the unable , disabled or UN-adoptive will die during global hotness or global coolness lasting a millennia. Same people actually.
