You could post this question on Reddit of you really wanted answers.

But you don’t, so carry on I guess.

Topics that you will make into shows or movies using AI

Posted by weagle1999 on 5/21/26 at 4:51 pm

I think that we will soon be able to make our own entertainment using AI. And if the AI will follow our general commands without political bias I hope this time comes soon.

I would like to watch an impartial movie about the CSS Shenandoah, The only Southern ship to circumnavigate the globe, travel to the Arctic circle, fire the last shots of the war, and then go on the run back to England so the crew wouldn’t be hung as pirates after the war ended. The very last act of the war was the captain of the ship walking up the steps of the courthouse in Liverpool to surrender.

Regardless of your stance, that is a compelling, dramatic story. And Hollywood will never make a movie about it.

Politicians sell ‘higher property values’ while bleating about ‘more affordable housing’

Posted by weagle1999 on 5/21/26 at 11:04 am

‘We need to pay more in taxes for our schools which will cause your property values to go up!’

One minute later:

‘We need to make sure more housing is affordable in our community!’

Is our society just folly?

re: Women hitchhike from Denmark - Japan to show world is friendly place

I wonder how many fewer rides they would have received if they were (2) men trying to do this.

Women hitchhike from Denmark - Japan to show world is friendly place

Posted by weagle1999 on 5/21/26 at 5:57 am

and that women can be just as adventurous as men.

The route is below. Note 90 degree turn after Turkey:

quote:
They basically hitchhiked from Denmark to Japan in a little under 100 days - supposedly on a daily budget of about $15. Apparently they wanted to show that the world is a pretty good place, and lots of people are nice - or some feel-good hippy bullshite like that. One is 26 (Amalie Fie Flamming) and the other is 24 (Thea Tolberg Møller).

Their trip included going through Eastern Europe (Romania, Bulgaria, etc.) and then Turkey, lots of Russia and Mongolia. They passed through 19 different countries.

But, they were not raped, or murdered or abducted or beaten up or robbed, and they made it.

So I can't decide if they are actually pretty inspirational and cool, or if they are just incredibly lucky morons.

re: Concerns about declining birth rate and then discussions of universal basic income

Actually maybe not true. The recent trend has some strange reductions in lower socio-economic births. It’s too soon to know if this is a blip, but black births per woman, which was 2.4 as recently as 1990, has dropped below the whites level of 1.57. Both are trending down, but the black birth rate is declining faster. There is an emerging trend of higher income people having more children. This trend would need to persist for a few years for your statement to become false, though.

This is all very interesting.

Three children per couple is the absolute minimum required to sustain a population and culture. If a couple has fewer than that then they are not contributing to society they are a drain on it.

The affluent couple without kids is a drain while a welfare queen with 8 spawn contributing to society?

We are supposed to be worried about declining birth rates, and at the same time considering how to implement UBI to make up for the lower number of jobs due to AI?
