i mean i wouldn’t want another employee touching every single food item. this is also a hygiene issue.

no shit, food in 1960 was full of additional flavoring chemicals.

hmm there might be two effects at work here at the same time.

better idea: communicate irl. and also we need proper end-to-end encrypted chats that exchange public keys from device to device directly (NFC or QR code) (which requires physical meeting).
- Comment on They're F*ing trying again 2 days ago:
the brainwashing of the last 20 years has been incredibly effective at distracting people from everything important. people didn’t talk about the economic situation because all the (looks around) instagram and distraction schemes.

yeah i keep thinking, we’re not getting around the law. we have to get an effective implementation though by using 3rd party platforms, i.e. ones that don’t conform to legal pressure.
- Comment on They're F*ing trying again 2 days ago:
nah i just think that lots of people are tired of hearing about it. since it’s an issue year-over-year, they’re just waiting until we’re getting tired about it. then they’ll sneak it in.

Basically, on a cosmological scale, distance and velocity are connected
yeah btw to comment on this: this phenomenon is probably more important than it seems at first glance. because it implies that, while there is neither an absolute position nor an absolute velocity in relativity theory, there is a connection between position and velocity. so, for each position in space, there is an associated zero velocity, or reference velocity, which is the velocity of the cosmos at that location. or at least that’s what i’m lead to believe.
now, this is not at all obvious. one might argue that that’s bullshit, frankly, but it appears at least 3 times in various aspects of standard models of cosmology:
- for one, contemporary microwave background. it’s said to be isotropic (and has the shape of a black body radiation) but only if the observer moves with a certain velocity. if you move extremely fast in either way, one side gets blueshifted while the other one gets redshifted, so it’s not isotropic anymore. there’s exactly one (finite!) velocity for which it is most isotropic, which is the “average velocity” of the radiation.
- then there’s the whole question of how a vacuum energy could possibly be lorentz-invariant. the way i see it, if there is radiation in space everywhere, then that would have to be similar to microwave background (just at another frequency). so it again would have to have a certain average velocity. note that this is different from the previous point because while the previous point uses other objects as reference frame (that might not be present in an alternative universe), this one does not. you cannot have a universe with the same laws as ours that’s completely empty of vacuum energy, so there’s always some reference frame.
- then there’s the issue that if you go really far back in time, the cosmic expansion is not lorentz-invariant. well, at least not if you look at this curve:
if you tilt it somewhat, it’s not isotropic anymore. because while expansion rate is accepted to vary with time, it should be homogenous in space. now, if you do a lorentz-transformation, these two things cannot hold at the same time. so, cosmic expansion wouldn’t be lorentz-invariant?
- Comment on Roses 2 days ago:
actually cosmological redshift occurs not so much because a velocity difference between source and observer, but because space is expanding while the wave is in it, or so i was told. so the wave continuously gets stretched out, which causes it to redshift. calculating it that way gives slightly different results from normal doppler redshift, i think. so it does matter.
- Comment on Roses 2 days ago:
assuming we want the frequency to double,
going by this formula: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redshift
with the wavelength ratio 1 + z we want 1 + z = 1/2 so v/c = -3/5 c = -0.6c if i calculated correctly (i did this in my head without a napkin), where the source moves away from the observer with velocity v. so it would have to move towards you quite rapidly.

when you say “im too smart for the female population”, you’re basically just saying that you’re never getting laid, right?

no i don’t think it’s satire …
- Comment on my own personal Chatgpt 6 days ago:
well, i read something similar a while ago. basically, medieval monks used to not sign anything they made, because they believed that they themselves had a small part to play in it (basically the executive arm) while some other mysterious force moved them (through their body) to do the piece of art.
- Comment on oorahhhhh 1 week ago:
ok so this is really abstract but i like your pictures. “obfuscate your light as a secret seed meant for times and generations ahead”. i really get what you mean there. thoughts are like a seed that we plant, it eventually grows into a plant. and sometimes one must hide their true ideology until one meets better times.
yet i think that you won’t be able to communicate with other people if you don’t speak people’s language. try to be less abstract and more pragmatic, maybe?

to live where they ultimately (don’t) want to.
yeah i think that this is the most important issue. we cannot just assume where people want to live. we have to ask them. there needs to be proper data about how many people want to live in which region. then, based on that, construction and infrastructure development should happen, in the countryside / city.

better spend much time outdoors then ;-)
- Comment on Trailer love, trailer life 1 week ago:
that’s just a really bad take i think. tax laws have to adapt to the people, not the other way around. it’s just a very bad idea to move around people to get more favorable taxation, because tax laws can be changed much faster than people can move around.
on top of that, “demand cools” for housing … is questionable. you know, if we wanted to, we could just build more housing. and i only partially get your childcare take … are you saying that elderly people (who often need care themselves) should take care of the children? i’m not sure about that.
- Comment on Trailer love, trailer life 1 week ago:
i think that the people wouldn’t build it like that if it didn’t work out for them. the climate is different, so you don’t need 1m thick walls for thermal isolation.
- Comment on Trailer love, trailer life 1 week ago:
I think the government needs to do more to get people out of the megalopolises.
i don’t see how that would reduce costs
- Comment on Trailer love, trailer life 1 week ago:
a lot depends on the climate. you couldn’t do that in germany where you have to have thick walls or you’re gonna freeze to death in the winter.
