I’m putting this here because apparently this resembled a common done-to-death format. (It really doesn’t, not sure what they’re talking about. Nothing about it even remotely resembled one. I looked at the examples, too. It was entirely fine.)

Putting this here because my thought is way too long for the title, so I'm sorry if this is breaking the system of a shower thought:

It’s true, though. I mean, my parents divorced when I was young and I have so far come out of it just fine. And keep in mind, I did face a few challenges entirely unrelated to that event even now. Sure, it CAN lead children to the worst places, but I don’t think it should be seen as total fact. I mean, I'm literally walking proof of that.

The LEAST, not eradicated.

I'm very stupid so prob am wrong. But I'm trying to talk about (let's say) cost of cacao increasing due to high wages..etc.

There's always a metamorphosis of sorts that occurs to turn a perfectly normal youngest child into the middle child

It is the ultimate pharmakon (the poison and the cure)

I am equally excited and terrified. I know there will be massive positives but massive negatives as well.

The amount negatives it has cannot be spoken in a single post. I wanted to focus on the aspect of governments using it to monitor people and social media.

AI is already integrated on websites and used for auto moderation but this will only get more and more refined as time goes on and eventually will be a huge nuisance for everyone.

Governments will be able to target people so much easier. The potential of AI is limitless, Governments are going to be able to control society a lot easier, companies will have more control over people, and politics will get worse because people will be more exposed and villainzed.

In short: in the future, what you do and say on the internet will be held under a microscope and people will have to be more cautious than ever.

Not even for bad things just things that go against political agendas. On both sides.

And this isnt even the tip of the iceberg this is a rain drop of things out of Pandoras Ocean.

I can't believe the other sub rejected this as tone deaf.

Honest SHOWER THOUGHT. I have no idea WHY I thought about it; that's an entirely different conversation.

Thousands of people end up every day with various "I swear a fell on it! One in a million shot, doc, one in a million!"

Surely, one had to be honest.

"Look, doc, I shoved a sweet potato up my ass, yes. Was it a good idea? I now see that it wasn't. Just get it out, man!"

One such guy surely had to have existed.

Very basic, I know.

Just like the title says. Also another one: Do you ever think an older Scott watches a movie they were in in the past and it’s like watching it for the first time because they don’t remember

I just can't stop thinking that at some point in history, a random guy was licking random rocks and suddenly found one with a very distinctive taste, and for some glorious dawn of realisation thought that crushing it and throwing it over some food would make it taste better... Or maybe some weird guy decided to boil random waters to see what happens and found out that the ocean is full of weird tasty rock too...

In terms of the universe and existence

0 is Nothing

1 Nothing is something

Infinity is eternal nothingness/something

-----

Real world example:

A living human is 1

A dead human is 0

Infinity means that they will always have existed and nothing can take that away.

The fact someone existed is eternal and everything is made of consciousness. Nothing truly dies. Life and death is one in the same. So that 1 remains as conciousness for eternity

It is commonly used as a subtle insult because they know the power it holds.
