I've actually conceived of "machine empathy" as a skill. It's like, you can consider how a machine "thinks" and come up with some idea of why it's doing the thing it's doing.
My grandmother was completely blind. Wonderful woman, even poast would have liked her. Never touched a computer because of course she didn't. She was completely blind.
Disregard interviews. There's a pile of the tools of the trade, do this thing and show me you can do it.

It seems to me that that's one of the fictions people use to justify going to the big cities, the alleys are paved with opportunities. This seems to me a repudiation of that idea.
Just imagine, you can go somewhere that has more jobs per person, and cheaper housing, and they don't hate you there.

I was actually trying to find some minds users on the fediverse and failed. This is the first time it actually worked...
The Biden plan to cancel $20,000 in debt for up to 40 million people with student loans debt sounds really good at first, until you realize how stupid it actually is.
A lot of people with student loan debt are making enough that they're getting charged the maximum amount of the last dollar they make. Some of them are paying much more than $20,000 per year in taxes. Therefore, all this is is a government taking $20,000 from you with one hand and then handing it back to you with the other.
"Thanks! I mean, I'd prefer not having the spoils of my work constantly drained away from me so that you can pay for your pet projects somewhere on the other side of the planet, but I guess thank you for giving me a small amount of all the money that you take for me back"

Maybe it's his secret femboy lover feeding lines into his ear? Because it sure isn't the bible...
How to make everything: https://www.youtube.com/@htme
For the first era of the channel, he just tried to make stuff using modern techniques and materials, but afterwards he rebooted the channel trying to make stuff from scratch using materials and tools he created using the previous stuff.
Here's a video from another source of some people in Norway making iron from bogs using the ancient methods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80omf7bM3Ek

This is a topic that I'm extremely interested in, because I like the idea of having a skill set where you can go out and make things yourself using local materials. Sometimes it's possible, and it's actually kind of surprising how much you can do locally if you have the right knowledge/technology. Figuring out how to get iron out of literally just a bog was a planet shattering revelation that made something that was previously fairly useless into an incredibly important asset.
There's a YouTube channel called how to make everything that has gone to some lengths to answer these questions, and for a significantly more limited scope there's another YouTube channel which is absolutely fantastic called primitive technology, Where this guy tries to recreate technologies using only things he was able to make himself with his hands on a plot of land he owns.

Forget about the technology, just the materials.
Let's say that you want to make clear glass. Not something very complicated. Basically all you need is sand and borax.
But wait a minute! What the heck is borax? Well it's a mineral mined in I think two places on the face of the earth, so if you aren't in those two places you don't have borax.
Whether we like it or not, unless global empires like the British empire make a comeback, if we want the modern world then we need global trade.

It also occurs to me that "we might fail" isn't a good reason not to do something when if you succeed it will fulfill a couple fundamental drives of existence.
My wife's grandmother died, and we were at the funeral, all surrounding the body. It was like -30 out, probably -40 with windchill. So we did the ceremony as quickly but respectfully as we could and everyone rushed back to their cars before they froze to death.
It occurred to me that everyone just left this body in the freezing cold, and were like "Ooh! There's sandwiches!" and everyone just kinda left the body there in the freezing cold, and in that moment I realized I don't want to be buried.

The thing that's frustrating is that people don't recognize the pain started post 2008 as the money printer went brrrrr. Well, I think many people do get that, but certaintly the politicians and journalists do not.
Leftists are like 1945 Nazis. They consider Asians to be "honorary" whites.
In both cases, it's because the core of the ideology is based on racist fictions that entirely fall apart once you leave their little geographical bubble.
