Between the two, the Reps are slightly more cause and effect. The Dems, only
when and if they are absolutely forced to be. With Reps, Jesus is God. With
Dems, Party is God. God is now held by The Squad and the Corp Scum that fund
the Dems in an exchange of campaign donations for setting policies. Niceness to
Comrade Xi via Larry Fink of Blackrock (Opposed even by George Soros!) in
September 2021. :-/
My sister who is still a loyal and a Trump hater, sees a narrowing of our views
in the last couple of Joey years, her statement: The Republicans are fucking
crazy, The Democrats are now dangerous. Jesus is just alright with me, and
really has been since my wee days when I hoped either He or Santa would drop
off some goodies for this lad? I never disagreed much with his preachings,
though had a couple of disagreements here and thar! Sanhedrin, never did the
Jews any good by paling around with the Romans and the Sadducees
(Sadduccum-Duke Nukem, and shame on us wicked Pharisees! Pharisstim-Spank!).
We Pharisees like to argue. Have you noticed?
Similarly on a point-by-point basis I side with what makes the best chance for
survival, human.! Joey's good dead may have been the IFA which funds solar. He
should seek a way to Bribe the Russian PUTIN-voters to see if we can cut a
deal? As Trump said, end the killing.
PUTIN and the Russian voter may both choose Death Before Dishonor if so, we all
will be riding the dragon's back. Yeah maybe the Chinese Dragon?

Me too, I joined in 1993 but was kicked out in 2020 for displaying insufficient
enthusiasm for Donald Trump. You'd probably love it over there these days, it's
no longer libertarian as it was when I joined but is full of Trump apologists
instead.

No, what will doom us is nuclear war

Maybe, but that's not the only existential danger.

Rational policies like vaccines cause autism and inject microchips into your
body designed by Bill Gates to control your mind?

I was an Extropian back then.
No, what will doom us is nuclear war and following ideology instead of rational
policies. Yes, the P word again.

little, the steps would probably be smaller, at least at first, but the result
would be the same. I don't have the blueprints for a Jupiter brain in my pocket
but I do know that complex mechanisms don't do well in a positive feedback
loop, not electronics, not animals, not people and not Jupiter brains. True,
you could probably set up negative feedback of some kind to counteract it, but
that would result in a decrease in happiness so would you really want to do
that?"
I could've summed it up by saying it might be the explanation of the Fermi
paradox and that extraterrestrial civilizations may not end in a bang or a
whimper but in a moan of orgastic pleasure.
The pursuit of pleasure could doom all intelligent life
