Send me bad puns. Good puns welcome too. America delenda est.
I wasn’t thinking of rural connectivity here (I’m not informed enough on that to have an opinion) but more on its uses by Ukraine, in disaster relief and for avoiding censorship in authoritarian states. For example it’s the only way anybody inside Iran not associated with the government can actually get internet.
Seconding the other person. Musk sucks but Starlink is objectively a good thing.
It’s even better than you think. Organic and semi-organic solar panels are improving fast, so even disposing of the toxic metals involved in their manufacturing is likely to become a problem of the past.
The fundamental philosophical error here is assuming that all forms of simulation are computational or mathematical.
Uh… that’s literally what a simulation is.
Counterexample: your dreams are a form of simulation (probably). So I can literally disprove this take in my sleep
But dreams aren’t simulating reality as we observe it; they just kinda do their own thing. Your brain isn’t consistently simulating quantum mechanics (or, hell, even simple things like clocks) while you’re dreaming so this is a moot point.
