Not in Africa. The plan is to have billions of Africans migrate to Europe to do the work instead, due to the climate crisis.
When they get to Europe, they are going to expect the same quality of life that Europeans have historically enjoyed. So, just because Europeans aren't reproducing, doesn't mean that they aren't being superseded by a new group of materialist consumers.
There is something really special about European development. Chinese history is absolutely fascinating with a lot of super cool inventions, but nothing stands close to European history and it's power.
That really doesn't sound healthy. Babies need real interaction, they don't need to slap a screen and make funny noises. Screens are flat, they have no texture.
Sadly, babies which are underexposed to stimuli often display developmental delays compared to peers.
This is actually kinda true with doordash etc. Those drivers are completely unvetted, they don't even have an interview.
The kind of people that can't get a job at a pizza place.
Personally, I never order delivery through these services. The incentives are all wrong. Not to mention the costs are super high: restaurants don't make any money, I pay out the @$$, and the drivers are given sub-minimum-wage pay after taking on the risks of delivery driving.
Continual selection of entities which survive. For example, sand is the natural evolved substrate of beaches. Shells get ground into sand, anything heavier sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
I'll leave that as an exercise to the reader. Imagine how our society would change if these liars and grifters were not constantly brainwashing our friends and family on the topics of:
Actually, the earth is subject to evolutionary pressure in a sense.
This is the only planet that supports life (that we know of). That's because it's natural properties endured through billions of years to support life.
It's not exactly an arms race. And it's a different, but similar mechanism. But I think the underlying principles are the same.
In this case, evolution won't look like the earth changing over time. It's more like, there are billions of potential earths out there, and over billions of years, some of them will more subtly change to support life.
So, we may destroy our earth, but that doesn't impair the ability for other earths to evolve. We just may not see it.
Personally, I just use my instincts. If my instincts are wrong, well, there's always another lifeform that will evolve someday, even if that's billions of years from now.
Hopefully they will be smarter than myself. If not, a few billion more years and we may get another shot...
Not the op but, I've seen this for lots of reasons.
Sometimes just a roll of the dice. Large companies tend to lay off more. If you've only worked in startups, it's very possible you may never be laid off. I've never been laid off despite working 20 years in industry.
Working in banks, FAGMAN, etc, you are much more likely to be laid off. I guess you could consider that high-risk, but those jobs are low-risk overall imo, because they pay a lot more than startups.
Dumb and wild are also slurs, it's not possible to call someone "weird" without using a slur, because all words like "weird" were originally slurs, they have just undergone reputation recycling over the years that we forgot about it.
...I think that says more about you than me.
