If we had laws against stupidity, indifference and cruelty, most problems would be solved
That doesn’t help, but I have no idea for a better solution… maybe force him to work with the firefighters for some months or so? Watching videos of the results of such a fire, the dying animals, interviews with people who lost their homes or such? Worst thing about stupidity is that you can hardly do anything against it. It is pretty obvious to everyone that heat + dry woods + fire is leading to a big fucking problem, and yet, such things happen. I’m afraid a lot of people just do not care enough, especially if they are tourists who just visit the area.
Can a parylene-coated glassie start migrating if you lose a bunch of weight and muscular mass? I’m almost certain my long-implanted IAR EM4305 has moved. And it looks like it’s about to poke out of my skin too…
We’re just bootloaders, like litte larvae.
Humans haven’t been around for long, in universe terms.
And if you think about how many iterations little AIs need, I guess we will need quite a few more generations and looots of new tech before we become anything decent.
But humanity has potential. We just need to get over some stupid traits evolution gave us.
But the whole wildfire thing… Shit, I was on a fire at Warm Springs in Central Oregon. It started in late June, was contained (except for the massive wood chip piles at a saw mill that would spontaneously combust EVERY afternoon despite being hosed down daily with thousands of gallons of water and occasionally foam), but the locals still cut loose with a horrendous fourth of July celebration that seemed very likely to burn down the whole town.
Not only are people dumb, but the safety nets put in place are blatantly exploited as a means to do whatever people want (or is most cost effective for a business). Can we bring back personal accountability?
I think it would be super cool / fun / interesting to make a YouTube channel like the people that waterjet random things apart, or hydraulic press stuff
But X-ray all of the things
But buying a X-ray machine, and not radiating yourself is probably makes it problematic
