Why do we think the human made world is out of our control? Learned helplessness? We could stop this. We do not need Satrlink.
Starlink will fail. And this will be more likely the more satellites they put up[1][2]. Or the more wars we get in. It will not be hard to cause a major destruction of all Starlink satellites [3].
> i just dont think addiction by itself is something we should be fighting.
People who say this do not understand how powerful biology is. Nor do they understand that they are putting people with certain genetics more at risk.
"Choice" to people genetically prone to addiction is a trap. So unless you want to figure out the polygenetics of addiction and then have everyone tested for their genetics so they know there risk I will say I strongly disagree with your viewpoint, because there is no informed risk and you are promoting suffering with our beliefs.
Now you know why there is war. We have war because the U.S. is failing. Just look at the reversal of the 10 and 30 y bonds over the last 20 years. All the free money that was given to the oligarchs killed our economy.
I am homeless currently living with schizoaffective disorder (and OCD) by myself because no one wants to take care of people with mental illness so I have zero to lose.
My nephew died by suicide, I tried my mother and my brother tried. A whole family of pretty evident genes.
Honestly, you don't need someone's genetics for this to happen. They will find out more about you by scraping your socials and spending habits and driving habits.
I think this whole fear is over blown anyway. I am in a genetic out group (schizoaffective disorder and yes my risk is genetic) and the benefits of getting my genetics run twice out weighed any risk that might have befallen me.
This is pretty settled science. So what is the big deal about taking a drug that affects a receptor? Will it cure anything? No. Because the body resorts to increasing receptor density for the drug.
You know what? "Will share all" except my money is more like it. Because just getting $50,000 from this guy would remove all the stress from my currently homeless living in a minivan life and take away the majority of stress that is a trigger for my schizoaffective disorder. So you know what? Eff this guy.
