Wow, that's kind of amazing, tbh. You are right, heat pumps really can't get any more efficient!

My god, it's full of electrons!

Turn your brain on, fool.

The military part of Afghanistan was easy. Rebuilding the country was hard. The US military can destroy, it's good at that.

Here's a chart of energy use by fossil fuels.

The big chunks are transportation and electricity generation. Residential heating is a relatively small issue. As heat pump technology improves, people will naturally pick them up.

Do cartoons bother you?

You are wrong. The logical fallacy is only to help you understand why you are wrong.

That's not clear at all. There's not much population in the Iranian land region along the Strait, a relatively small military operation would take control of it. It would require boots on the ground.

The only hope the Iranian regime has is that Trump won't put boots on the ground. I have no sympathy for the Iranian regime.

It's kind of surprising how little press coverage Artemis has gotten. People flew around the moon.

Seriously? Turn your brain on. You can think better than that.

I can accept art as communication, but how do you consider it dialogue? A dialogue requires the listener to respond in some way, it's a two way communication. How is the listener answering back to the artist?

The people who don't have a problem with it aren't complaining.

It's clearly not real, but cartoons are also clearly not real. And we enjoy cartoons.

Everything you said is right, but it doesn't lead to the conclusion. Yes, actors have lots of skills. But that doesn't answer the question:

If AI can do the job of an actor, why would acting deserve special protection from automation?

A good idea would be to create a "peace department" to balance the war department, one that puts serious resources into studying peace and how to make it a reality.

Currently Trump is enacting a non-violent approach (blockading Iranian shipping) so I don't know why you are confused by this.
