Normies like you get way too caught up on issue of premediation in the top-level human actors of a system. Any dynamic you can derive from the structure, interests and incentives of a system is going to play out through its actions and the purpose of a system is what it does.

Even if the operators themselves fail to foresee some dynamic, they WILL notice it when a real-world situation invokes it and they WILL integrate it into their strategy.

We talk about water. What it is, its properties, its uses.
Water, man, it just fucking blows my mind. That shit is real. I just poured a glass to drink. Crystal clear and cool. Looking at it I am like "Wow, this shit is two thirds hydrogen and one third oxygen!"
Don't you think that's absolutely awesome? Like both those elements are naturally gases at room temperature, but combined they make a liquid, and here I am guzzling this stuff down because I am a thirsty blighter.
Most of water is hydrogen.Two thirds to be exact. I think I mentioned that before. Like Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the Universe. The first real shit to come out once the big bang settled down. Fuck me, what stories those hydrogen atoms could tell. I wonder how many times they have been pissed out in some animal's urine. Then there is the oxygen component of water. Did I say its constitutes one third of water? I believe I did. Fucking oxygen man, we breathe that shit in and yet when its part of water we just drink it. Wild huh?
You know sometimes I get so awe struck by this sort of shit I could fart my own fucking pants off, how about you? Holy fuck I think I will do that right now.
Jesus what a stinker! I think I blew out a bit more than just some gas. Damn, I did. Time to wash my pants. IN WATER! How about that!? What a coincidence!
Anyway, lets discuss water. Fuck yeah.

Did you know that if you take a glass of sea water, label each water molecule, then mix it all up good with all the rest of the water in the world, then take another glass, about 80 water molecules from the first glass will be in the second glass?

The strange thing about Solarpunk is that people get very polarized, claiming that this is left wing stuff or right wing stuff, while DIY and pragmatism is pushed out of the limelight. And yes, I too see mostly art and stories along with hoped for a better tomorrow. Some of the stories, like YKK, seem to be set in a post apocalyptic era where the human population isreally tiny. In reality a Solarpunk realiy would take absolutely enormous amounts of energy and automation.
>>
>>16789269
I agree. The Chobani ad (which was the genesis for many of solarpunk’s current aesthetics) features automatons in a woman’s daily life as well as small-scale community gatherings, implying that it’s either just technologically advanced rural life (probably the ad’s intention) or humanity has had its population reduced somehow but are also able to retain their knowledge and tech. Solarpunk art tends to go in the latter direction.

About their politics, I’ve seen differing opinions on anarcho-capitalism, anarcho-communism, eco-fascism, eco-socialism and everything in between; there’s both left and right folks who are solarpunk. DIY and pragmatic ideas are used to repurpose and build community for a “soft revolution” of sorts, where communities are made more self-reliant on themselves and on the surrounding land (think community gardens/farms, creating a community solar grid to store and derive at least a part of power off-grid) slowly from the ground up instead of your average political revolution that almost always goes haywire. This bottom-up approach and community building aspects are core to solarpunk, and by using this along with stories and art they hope to change views in their communities, which in turn can be the catalysts for bigger changes.

When we talk about evidence for non-human intelligences, it helps to rank claims from least to most credible:

Weakest are folkloric and anecdotal accounts — myths of “sky people,” abduction narratives, or supposed out-of-place artifacts. They’re culturally interesting but prone to hoaxes, misperceptions, or psychological explanation.

Middle tier are astrophysical anomalies. “Oumuamua” accelerated in ways hard to explain, though natural hypotheses exist. The 1977 “Wow!” Signal and certain Fast Radio Bursts sparked speculation, but remain one-off or likely natural. Tabby’s Star once looked like a Dyson sphere candidate, but dust fits better. These remind us the universe holds mysteries, though “aliens” aren’t the default explanation.

Stronger are reported physical traces and physiological effects, like claims of exotic alloys or the “Oz effect” during close encounters. Intriguing, but not yet scientifically verified.

Strongest evidence comes from multi-sensor, multi-observer military encounters: the 2004 Nimitz “Tic Tac,” 2015 Gimbal, and others. Pilots, radar, infrared, and visual confirmation all line up, showing craft with extraordinary flight profiles that defy current human technology. Importantly, these aren’t fringe claims — the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA openly admit that some UAP remain unidentified after rigorous analysis.

In short: the best evidence is not ancient myths or speculation, but instrument-verified data collected by trained observers and acknowledged by official institutions. That doesn’t prove “aliens” — but it does establish that we are confronting a genuine unknown, one that deserves serious study.

Were you just not able to comprehend the video? Shit was pretty simple.

>>16789355
The video wasn't a takedown of the concept. It was a takedown of a treatment of the concept as exemplified in the Altman clip. She stopped the video multiple times to provide this clarification to try and help people like you. I was wondering who she might be doing that for lol
>>
>>16789178
tibee is a dumb larping bitch

>>16789362
All Altman was referencing was the potential of future computing demands pushing mankind into space to seek out more robust sources, namely, unfiltered sunlight. However many collectors you build, you might need more..."Dyson Sphere" is just a familiar meme to denote how far that quest could progress. No reason for your simp fixation to get her panties in a knot.

But then again, she strikes me as the type who thinks energy production and civilized expansion is "evil" and Greta Thunburg is "relevant"...

You should really consider that your mind isn't cut out for abstract thought. If this sort of thing is liable to come out of your mouth, there is no destination that this kind of thinking is going to bring you to. Movement for movement sake, sure, but if you're expecting to get somewhere you should give up.

QFT says its impossible to create matter from energy, except as in pairs of anti-matter and basically states that you cant create something like a neutron (despite having neutral charge) or any baryon.
The idea of some early universe of light creating baryonic matter violates QFT. But thats ok, because we have evidence for QFT and none for some kind of early pure-light universe

From the same group of cells during development. Finish the sentence instead of deliberately misquoting it. Those don’t mean the same thing at all
>It isn't a whale
It’s an archaeocete… which are whales
>How do you figure?
Because they’re the same bones? Femur, phalanges, etc
>Are you defining any structure towards the back of animal whatsoever as a "leg"?
Leg in this case is referring to the hind limbs. What you want to call them makes no difference, they’re the same structure. Cope, seethe, etc. The whales got legs
