Instead of using problematic words like "piracy" try using more neutral phrases like "sharing information with your neighbor" :rms1:

@11112011 I like older gas vehicles.

Anything with a computer in it can be hacked.

The Law can so easily shut down you 2022 model BMW by linking your plate to the VIN and the VIN to the mac address of the onboard computer.

That's why I sadfaced.

@Agni @Atlas_Khan @MisterRogersSnapped I think it's likely that as the Federal US decays it'll devolve its powers to the states in much the same way the later Roman Emperors parcelled off difficult to manage regions to local Warlords.

Thankfully the states already have well formed local governance.

@11112011 bro if you're fighting the biggest retards on the planet where does that leave you

This is pretty neat

"Cloud Chamber for the Trees and Sky" is a walk-in camera obscura that looks like a simple stone structure built by druids. A pinhole in the opening projects the tree canopy to the interior

@MisterRogersSnapped @SneedsterSpeedster "Thinking, Fast and Slow" has very rigourous science behind it.

There's a view today that something can't be a science without quantitative methods - the reality is that formulae are often used to obfuscate bullshit. Search "replication crisis."

A careful reading of Jung shows that he was a rigorous thinker. His investigations produced questionable and disturbing results - it's a rare person who can look those results in the eye and integrate them into their life.

His is a subjective opinion and has its idiosyncrasies - as he is first to attest. That no one has really followed upon his heels with the same insight is a great shame. You only get 5 or 6 of his quality in a century though, perhaps it's to be expected.

Girard is very good, more anthropology than psychology but he is as unflinching and rigourous as Jung; perhaps without his intuitive genius.
