2020-07-24 at 2:55 AM UTC in Any era you could live inMost of all I'd like to see how science has progressed. How far will physics have gotten?
Will the methods have changed because we reached the functional limits of our ability to probe smaller structures (like Planck scale small)? My biggest curiosity would be to see whether we will have moved on to "black box science" with the rise of AI?
Where for example we will use mathematical proofs that no human will be able to understand but can be verified with a computer, like with Prover. Or use big data to make some physical models that nobody can make any sense of from our intuitive understanding of how the world functions, but gives the right answer with 99.9999999% confidence.
Right now we are at an amazingly interesting early stage of the electronic age where we are still deeply rooted in traditional ideas of understanding because that rigor gives us a sense of "truth", but if everything is judged by the "how well does your model fit data" standard... Well I am always reminded of John Von Neumann's quote: "With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk." Who knows if the AI just crunched a shit load of data and shat a model that just fit the data out of its ass, or if it's really the truth about how the world works? -

Not too far ahead because I'd just be culturally lost like people would be referencing the Brazilian-French war of 7820 or some shit.
But like 500 years later it shouldn't be too bad. I'd become a living historical artifact from the dawn of the computer age. Plus if get to see a lot of cool shit anyway. Maybe we will have developed compact fusion power and colonised some other parts of the solar system by then. -

This all started from scrons saying he spends 4 dollars a day on coffee, right?
And then someone said "well that's why the poor will always be poor."
And then I'm just saying, who the fuck is to say hes poor? What even is poor? If you have enough money to be able to actually spend 4 dollars a day on coffee, I'd say you're not poor.
Would you prefer to say that "this is why people who don't have a lot of money continue to not have a lot of money"?Could you buy the coffee thing and save money overall, yes. The same way we could cancel our internet subscriptions and just start sending one another a letter in the mail once a month and that's how we talk from now on.
First of all, unless someone starts Nutflix, porn by mail doesn't work. -

Originally posted by mmQ I'm not arguing that m7. I understand what you're saying, even when spending more equals efficiency. Of course. Like buying a car straight up will cost more money than "efficiently" making payments on it over the next few years, but the straight up purchase is actually more efficient. I get that.
My whole point is that money could always be spent more efficiently. Theres never an exact moment where you could say "I've utilized my money as efficiently as humanly possible." Unless you dont have money maybe. That's the most efficient spending. You sit on the ground next to your garden and your water well. Lol
I'm not disagreeing I'm just saying that it doesn't make a difference: for example there is no exact moment where a pot gets so hot where you say "I have officially but we myself". That doesn't mean one cannot clearly point out that you shouldn't put your hand on a 110C pot.
Your argument is "there are no discrete divisions in this [system] so any distinction is arbitrarily defined."
I'm telling you "no, you can apply other non-arbitrary criteria from outside of this [system]" -

Originally posted by mmQ I think we agree here. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong with my homeless to george soros analogy. Anyone ever could always spend more efficiently.
Not really.
For example you're like the 4th link in the supply chain by the time you buy meat from the store, the 5th if you go to a restaurant. You could argue "well why don't you raise your own meat?" But the difference in markup from link 4 to 5 is far bigger than the difference in markups from 0-4.
Would it be more efficient for me to raise my own meat? Not really, those are all relatively small markups I can pay due to the advantages of scale, compared to me making it myself without the scale.
Would it be more efficient to cook myself rather than paying for a restaurant to do it? Absolutely it would, because whatever advantages they got from the scale of their restaurant is irrelevant to me when they are just transferring the labour of my cooking to another person, where there is no advantage gained except simply not doing the thing myself. -
