Basically everytime you go back it will make changes to the future in such way you don’t exist thus the time machine by its very nature can never be discovered. Everyone that does immediately erases their future self from existence.

Ignoring creative liberties, it is assumed silicone based life forms would need high temps to thrive. Is quite possible that they would immediately die if exposed to human temps. Possibly these high temps would result in very fast computational skills.

Is interesting though. The speed at which you think is not entirely related to intelligence. If you created a computer the size of the solar system, it would be far far far more intelligent than an individual human. But because information would take hours to traverse across different regions of that brain, conversations and answers to questions might be incredible slow to come. We actually already take this into consideration when designing computers. The physical length memory is from the CPU is now critical.

A rock may be intelligence. It just thinks at a far shower rate than humans.

We have a great great great great … grandfather that was a single cell.

Need to get back to silent videos and photos only.

Is good. I bet we would have some massive power failures as well.

Worse, many articles do not have the year in the date. What the hell is up with that?

Yes. Often there are unintended results. I think another issue is that many people would have difficulty understanding the math behind it. It is not complex but it doesn’t end up with concise results sometimes and distrust in the system can certainly jilt some people as we have witnessed enough.

So you agree with it but escaped it?

Then again maybe you are subject to some other form of Stockholm syndrome?

Dude this is a shower thought. Like saying we are all in a VR. Most shower thoughts can start with we.

Think you need to get out more. Few people bat an eye if you don’t drink alcohol in a bar. Lots go for the music alone is it is a live band. It just some wings after work.

If course not every single person is working less but overall we are all working less. Quite a bit less.

Yes but it is only one and it is rather a minor one when it comes to socializing in a group or getting you out of the basement. Unless you are the type that immediately starts a conflict with strangers in which case you might have anger issues.

That might help people in relationships mind you and that would have some value.

You have to have alcohol to go to a bar?

Sorry but our parents worked more than us and their parents worked more then them. Few people I know work weekends or don’t get two days a week off. Your parents worked normal 8 hours day then they went home and worked on their cars and houses and basically did another 4 hours a day doing of jobs. Their parents went one step further and built their own houses often or helped build them and grew alot of their own food.

We might work similar or more formal hours but we work far less informal hours that at any period in history. So that does not hold much water to me.

You don’t drink? Just eat food. I joke a bit but I know many people that go to bars just for the music and social and a coke.

Shotgun wedding was simply someone got pregnant and the couple may have been encouraged to wed. I seen enough of them and I don’t know if a single one where it was mandatory. Poor reason to get married maybe but was pretty much always but choice and the shotgun statement was more of a joke.

There are few racial cultures in Canada, and likely no European cultures that have arranged ‘forced’ marriages. Encouraging couples to interact in such a way as they might develop feelings for each other is not an forced marriage by the way. And before you get all huffy, yes there have been forced marriages but it is quite rare.

I could see that being an overall skill but likely won’t result in people leaving their basements and developing some social skills.

Possibly. How about the reality that people are simply not interacting in person but online. I can’t believe this is not the first post.

Seriously go out to a bar, a music festival, volunteer, hell get drunk a few times and loosen up. In the 70, 80, 90 right up till 2000 this was every weekend. Hell it is not some work drone thing. That is an excuse. Work later in life is where you actually might meet some friends and from there have drinks after work and maybe that results in a random meeting with some ladies or men in your life.

School won’t teach this. Life skills need practice not exams.

Selfish people are that way. Both introverts and extroverts. You just might come across more selfish people that are extroverts just by the nature of them being extroverts. Had nothing with them being one way or another.

I would rather spend my time with an extrovert as I have the confidence to be myself while feeding off their energy. Many people feel insecure around someone who is outgoing and will intentionally or unintentionally try to find fault in them.
