    Nah, it’s just time for a Civil War. Time to purge the leftist from America!

    this clip(shorts) doesnt say how the wikipedia helps with that, and this video can even be used by deniers to say that no ones wants to hear them…

    You shouldn’t have faith in your systems of governance, and you most certainly shouldn’t be trusting Wikipedia, the Phillip Cross affair being one of the many shining examples why.

      Wikipedia provides sources, which you can find in the index and then look them up on your own to certify its validity. Wikipedia still is very good, maybe not perfect but still a great resource.

    Whoever’s reading this, I hope that whatever you’re going through gets better and whatever you’re struggling or worrying about will be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day! Amen

    truth and facts seem to have become divorced from eachother. now it’s “my truth”. no one can own the truth.

    Cant trust wikipedia for sure. It is controlled totally by leftists.

    Doing things “Because Progress” has broken everything. Since it collapses and destroys what has always been the backbone of society. Only to replace it with systems that have never been valid. No matter how many times its been tried.

    Why would you spend time debating the mentally ill?
    Stupid clip. The problem isn’t how fast things are moving. The problem is we no longer have a shared sense of identity, like we did when there were only 3 TV channels and some of the sources of info are propaganda.

    It’s disheartening to see a website like Wikipedia to be so widely used as an actual encyclopedia for truth. Using correct terminology and wording to describe true events is so necessary.

    • Val Clowes

      September 30, 2022 at 10:47 pm

      ???? Slow encyclopaedias have lied since their invention. Sometimes the lies are made by omission, sometimes by commission.

      How much can one say before actually saying something??

      Part of the problem.

    Soooo I should type my bullshit into Wikipedia slower, and it becomes more truthful? Sorry, but I still don’t understand, how the question got answered in this video.

    Wikipedia doesn’t teach us anything in this regard. We have seen the breakdown where political actors race to update and change definitions of words or descriptions of things to fit current “thing”. I used to give money all the time to the foundation, but I just can’t support it anymore, I don’t trust it any longer.

  21. NO SETUP SELF WORKING MATHEMATICAL CARD TRICKS

    September 30, 2022 at 12:58 am

    and it even makes us poorer. everytime a new product or way to make money is announced

    That voice combined with the message ,hmmmm

    Sorry. ‘1+1 always =2’ is a non-optional technical convention. There is no compromise with not-evidence.

    Your truth My truth and then there’s reality.

    Trust is a commodity bought & sold by actions. I go out of my way for you you look at me in a more positive way (bit simplistic but a workable hypothesis we have all proven). It’s not handed out to slick self interested self promoters. That’s where tyranny begins. Is this speaker a Covert Christian or the LBQ (oh can’t remember the rest of this tedious acronym) Messiah. Seriously flawed presentation from her aimed at those WHO WANT TO HEAR THE TRUE & REAL MESSAGE. Here’s mine I don’t trust any of you & you should not trust me because our species is a evolutionarily dead end

    Trust in our lying cheating stealing corporations that rule us, impossible once u know all that they do to us.

    Faith – pretending to know something you don’t know.

    I have no faith in my government and neither should you. I have trust and a sense of loyalty to the government.
    No faith in my spouse. I trust my spouse. I am loyal to my spouse.
    We need to all stop using the word faith because it is not a correct way of saying what you want to say. Plus pretending to know things you do not know is idiotic and neglectful.

    Trust, yes trust is almost non existent these days. Trust starts at the basic level, family, life, personal relationships. One of the original values to live by, to grow as a trustworthy individual. Without trust who are we? Trust defines you as a human being, for what else is left in life, death? Only our acts and deeds… TRUST

    “Moving fast” didn’t undermine our confidence in Democracy. Or mutual trust.
    A lying demagogue did. Fanaticism overrides intelligence and reason .

Is the $1.7B a Bet on Atoms Itself, or Just on Travis Kalanick’s Name?

A startup hitting unicorn status used to be a sign of its legitimacy as an actual business. But with $1.7B raised for Travis Kalanick’s nascent Atoms, the Equity podcast crew asks whether this is proof of a great idea or just proof that his name sells:

Upload vs download speed: which one is actually making your home internet feel slow? If your video calls freeze, your files take forever to sync, or your livestream stutters, the problem is usually your upload speed — and most providers don’t advertise it.

Deep tech entrepreneur D. Scott Phoenix spent years building AI — now, he believes we’re on the cusp of a profound merger between humans and machines. Reframing the AI debate through the lens of evolutionary biology, he shifts the question from whether we should fear or embrace AI to whether we understand what’s at stake if we get it wrong. Hear his provocative case for why we need to “eat the AI.”
