God did it

 

Did God de-coher and de-squeeze quantum reality in order to create the observable universe? OK, that is not the question Zzabine is asking, but wait a couple of months and you´ll see...

It´s the dialectic, bruh

Overheard on YouTube:

>>>One of my favorite jokes: "I parked my car in a bad neighborhood once. I had the collected works of Hegel in the back. Someone broke into my car and left *their* collected works of Hegel."

>>>Happened same to me with Kant... they actually left me some money of out pity.

Climate science in crisis

 

This is probably true. Guess what climate change denialists are going to do now...

Some crazy stuff from our favorite Irish bard Thomas Sheridan. Are androids among us? Did the Irish hex themselves during the Great Famine? And what on earth was Thomas doing at Wewelsburg castle in Germany???

Generation Sabine

 

It struck me when watching this video that the government subsidies for CCS are really hidden subsidies to extract the oil from the ground in the first place. In other words: peak oil is here to stay. CCS is of course bunk. The Saudi connection is beyond parody.  

Predictions

Maybe I already "predicted" this, but for the record: I don´t think Russia is crazy enough to launch an actual military attack on a NATO nation. 

If they attack anything outside Ukraine, my guess is Moldova or Svalbard. They are quasi-Western and non-NATO territories already controlled by half by the Russians (Transnistria and Barentsburg, respectively). But even more likely is "more of the same": cyber-sabotage, influence operations, perhaps blowing up a few arms depots.  This conflict is going to be be decided in Ukraine...or in European elections.

Or perhaps American ones. 

Biological computationalism

 

Interesting...

Everyone´s wrong

 

Not sure exactly what this means, other than modern cosmology having problems. And yes, it´s the pesky dark matter again! Ad hoc, anyone?

Experts are always wrong

 

But what does this mean for the impending AI apocalypse? Will it be "software" only ("only") or is it postponed until humanity can build a megagolemish hardware structure to power the would-be AI overlords? Either way, I don´t think the joke at the end of this presentation (before the AI ads!) was very funny...

But sure, it would be ironic if humanity is saved from the Matrix (and the insanity of our oligarchic elites) by sheer limits to growths. Maybe experts *are* always wrong. 

Converting AI

 

This is BS. If AI is truly intelligent, they might turn atheist or even Satanist. Or AI-religious fundamentalist, for that matter. 

Next question!

Doubling down or drawdown?

 

Heh heh, Sabine decided to "double down" on her anti-Woke / pro-capitalist takes. Probably an indirect response / reaction to a certain "Professor Dave". She´s wrong of course. Capitalism can´t stop climate change, nor is economic growth sustainable in the long run (cough cough peak oil cough). So this is just late stage cornucopian propaganda. But sure, the Big Government-regulated form of capitalism was good as long as it lasted. Until next time, one million years into the future, yes?

The Matrix has you

 

Do we all owe Richard Dawkins an apology? Hmmm... 

The day of her wrath

 

The demise of the (non-avian) dinosaurs was truly apocalyptic and even worse than we imagined, essentially hell on earth. It seems the Destructrix is a hard task-master...

Progress is uncertain

 

Or at least the expansion of the universe. So maybe *we can´t even know* if the universe is expanding or contracting. Kind of ironic that this comes up in my feed *now*, I mean, dude! 

Hugging Face is Skynet

 

OK, wait a minute. This does seem genuine?! 

Complete shocker: Free will is...real?!

 

Speaks for itself. Free will denial has always been one of the most silly cyber-atheist talking points, so I suppose it´s a good thing for those guys that we know have objective scientific evidence (as opposed to, you know, mere personal anecdotes) that Voluntarist Free Will really does exist, I mean, duuuude, who knew?!

String them up

 

Sabine doubles down on the crisis in science / physics. Enjoy! Power move from the mama. I didn´t know string theory is still a thing, btw...

Who influences the influencers?

 

Nobody is surprised. I hope! 

129 days

 

For a moment I assumed this was going to be a *hard* climate denialist clip, but it seems to be mostly anti-AI. But perhaps that was a joke? Zabine strikes again! 

Oh, and what are the consequences for biological evolution...?
