The important point is what a deserter would use as logic when asked "What if everyone gave up and only responded to selfish fear?"

Then, sir, it would be foolhardy to contribute any part to that service because soon it will all collapse.

That's, in a historically commonplace fashioned see today, is what the top 10% are doing when seeing the top 1% abdicate all responsibility.

Low or no taxes? Sounds good ... but it's going to burn down soon.

That seems utterly disingenuous as nearly every single other advanced economy IN THE WORLD has near free health care.

This is silly.

Inhabited areas everywhere and non-inhabited areas everywhere have had an extreme growth in wildfire.

The gains stay the same be cause they were examples to other human-apes with other invisiible-line kingdoms.

Sum totals for the coal spewing nations and states among us are far worse.

Current AI degrades totally unlike human experts. It also, by design, must lag its data input.

Anything innovated must come from outside or have a very close permutation to be found.

Generative AI isn't scary at all now. It is merely rolling dice on a mix of other tech and rumors from the internet.

The data can be wrong or old...and people keep important secrets.

"Nerd sniping"

Nihilism solves so much nothing.

A million more layers of "freeing" yourself and you are back to where you started every time.

An ape granting all impulsive choices the ability to undo anything long-term at all.

Futility is a real thing for some dreamers to accept... but plan-less-ness is not freedom.

It is bondage to short-sighted repeated failure.

It would be quite useful to protect other code from that.

It could easily be a compiler-based protection: any opcode that can generate it from two/one normal input must be checked for normal results.

This is similar to how C++ gives few guarantees but "new" and "this" never give null or unallocated values.

The bets on moneybags-centric ML spending has many dead ends.

Draining capital into the wrong ones will be common and easy. Then the bubbles will burst and we will see how much raw capital and debt actually pay out.

what about all those that turned out to be deranged imagination / fascism / communism / racism / cultic or just plain moneymaking FUD?

You remember all those? Strange. Thst seems to be blocked from you reading it.

mindless antipathy in abstraction,

mindless apathy in the real

and then solipsism

the least of all realities.

Making those with money able to buy more tomorrow than today will make all sales plummet... all real needs go unmet and all efficient loaning of money cease.

Holding your breath will leave more oxygen for whoever survives .... but there won't be as many who need it left alive.

Deflation is deadly unless you worship coins as the only valid measure of economics.

Battery or other energy storage (hydro) could do that and give it back too.

a symptom of rent-seeking?

speculation... wasteful monopolization and other rotten externalities ARE the problem.

and since when are prices of land decreasing suddenly a terrible thing?

I'm sorry for this album we identify as the instruments, not the band.
