Or just get your kids vaccinated? Their kids will get diseases and natural selection will handle the rest

The video in the article shows them testing with an electric leaf blower.

Grove and thicket are the only two I've ever actually heard. I'd go with grove.

Have you ever played the telephone game? Things change as people retell a story. Science is based on information directly from the source. It has to be verifiable. It's ok to use the stories to learn about a culture and their history, but they aren't suitable for science.

No discovery is useless. Even if it isn't used now, it could lay the groundwork for more useful discoveries later.

Whales definitely do. They even have regional accents. It probably isn't as complex as ours, but we can't even understand that.

How exactly is that a strawman argument? You act like technology does nothing for us. I agree that fighting for higher wages and other protections also makes things better. I don't understand why any of this makes the luddites right. Tech literally does work for us. You say tech makes people appear richer but it really only hurts us. What about medicine? What about the learning we can do through the Internet? What about the million other things that we can do that our ancestors couldn't?

Perfect. Then you won't have to pay for anything.

I'd keep an eye out for abandoned houses. They seem to be everywhere around the Iowa countryside at least. Just watch out for trail cams lol you can usually spot them with your phone camera

But what if 10 mil is enough for me to never work again and just spend all my time doing stuff I actually care about? I might even do work that matters to me that doesn't normally pay well if I can control it myself.

I did. Change is hard but it's hard to argue that we would be better off without that robotics. It does a lot of work for us and we can all have better stuff because of it. In a better world we'd be excited because it means we all have to do less work but the upper class just keeps finding more stuff for us to do.

How is that worse than the huge amount of money they have to pay for insulin now?
