The only interesting thing here is the claim they could store data on DNA and that it can last for more than a hundred years. But  not a good Idea to use it for storing your crypto seed phrase

The silent is frigthening me, they was very active some years ago, but rn the last few weeks I try to chat with them, they don't even reply once but I swear they read my chat, but they do not reply, not even once, idk why they suddenly all turn, turning COLD, colder than ice, THEY basically GHOST me!!! Is something happens to them that they are so busy that they can't even reply once? I mean ALL of them, not just one or two or them, IS ALL OF THEM, it is like complete silence!



Things like that happen on social media with lots of spam messages that look like they are from some evil bots, AI, strangers, or from people who want to take advantage of others. People also could ignore or find you suspicious if you are a crypto person due to the much scams that take place via cryptocurrencies, or the attribution of cryptocurrency to scams . Part of the solution to this is try to be different or try not to send messages that feel like such spams. Send the kind of messages that friends or family members would send to people they have strong relationship with... more like messages that show you know the receivers really well or have intimate relationships with them.. If this does not work, then it could be that they are avoiding you because you are nolonger like them or you exist in different reality they find threatening or strange. It's more like what politicians or popular people do to people they hate. They cancel them. The main reason they do this is to prevent those they cancel from influencing them or exposing things they share with "families" or people in their groups. Other reasons is to isolate you and hope you die or suffer alone from the isolation since they perceive you as enemy doing things that go against their interest. Well, that is how things work in their world. It's either you're fully part of them as slave or they oppress/torment you till you join them or die.
This is what they do to many people or countries that refuse to be fully part of the system they control.  You are either fully part of them or part of the opposite system they can't defeat. And they can get you wherever you are, through family members, friends, relatives or people who typically feed on thesame/similar information they feed on.
83  Economy / Economics / Re: Do brands that take sides on divisive issues lose market share? on: December 05, 2023, 09:07:31 AM
I researched this topic based on what happened with the Bud Light brand, which was boycotted due to their campaign on a socially divisive issue. They lost market share, and their top executives were forced to address the issue. A similar situation occurred with Gillette in one of their campaigns that the public viewed as sexist, resulting in a loss of market share. However, would this have happened with smaller brands? Read what this article found out.

As long as a brand’s initial market share is sufficiently small, engaging in activism can result in a net increase in customers
even if the brand takes a stance that consumers overwhelmingly oppose. In contrast, large brands can lose more than they gain, even when opponents and supporters are in balance.

Reference:
.......
........


In regards to the bolded, well a President for example who represents a Country will likely lose votes from certain parts of the country he/she does not appeal to their interest , while someone who governs a small part of thesame country would gain more votes from them if he's more concerned about their interest than the larger country. That probably explains the large and small brands phenomenon
The large brands typically spread across the country/world and would likely offend customers where they are located if they decide to take side against them.

Anyway, this is why it's important never to be partial especially as head or servant of diverse people. If both sides are bad, condemn their evil together. If one is right while the other is wrong make sure you still judge them fairly without any bit of bias in you.
84  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Religious conflict in Phillipines on: December 04, 2023, 09:19:07 AM
Sorry for the loss. Saw that yesterday or so and I took some time to research about Philippines and discovered they are mostly Catholics. And I wondered why the attacker would dare to attack in a mostly Christian country. I think it could be persecution or they were attacked for doing wrong.


Anyways, True Religion or the Word of the CREATOR of the Universe needs to be diligently followed by Christains to be shielded from such attack. It's hard to successfully attack people who are properly following a good law or good constitution. Such attacks happen via loopholes which are created when the law isn't diligently followed.
But there are certain attacks on True Christians that are possible especially when they are in the domain of the enemy spreading the Goodnews. It's like soldiers getting attacked on foreign lands while trying to turn the inhabitants away from evil culture. This occasionally happens to Christain spreading the Word of the CREATOR in the World and we call it persecution.  Better to be attacked for doing right than for doing wrong.

It's possible to build a company that works for everyone without compromising on your good principles.

Lots of issues with modern companies boil down on greed & love for money. The god of riches aka Mammon shows up in the owners workshops, dangles couple carrots in their faces and they dump the lttle principle they have in the garbage bin, hastily grab the carrots, sell off the projects (with their patents)  to later buy some mansions in islands. It's sometimes abit difficult to believe that people would sell off something they claim to love for money. Can money buy back the kind of happiness and satisfaction they get from the projects? This could actually serve as proof that this people may not be the original owners of the ideas/things they sold. They were probably stolen in hopes that they would make hugh money out of them. Whereas the real creators are busy trying to make it work for everyone and never interested in selling.
86  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Javier Milei wins presidency in Argentina on: November 30, 2023, 09:33:59 AM
The Right Libertarianism doesn't seek to take away people's welfare. They just need to find ways to fund it without imposing it on everyone/society.
And government employees don't need to be sacked, they could be paid their wages according to how profitable they are. If they are not profitable, then they need to do better and earn more, or shutdown. But if they are providing free well-done services that are really important to society, they can recieve voluntary donations with additional benefits or supplementary income from sustainable sources.
Besides the right libertarianism must be run on the principle of love for CREATOR and man. If you love the CREATOR you treat HIS creations esp man right.


Concerning the President, I think he won't do relatively well now until Trump takeover next year. I'm based this on what I heard about his foreign policy. Maybe he going to change to be friendly with Russia which is currently the head. You can't unjustly fight the head and expect to succeed. His country Argentina now hangs on his shoulders. If he falls, it could affect her.
87  Economy / Economics / Re: Inventing a job is better than finding a job on: November 29, 2023, 10:25:05 AM
Successful self-employed people are typically leaders while the employed/employees are followers who are told what to do. It's hard to be a leader just as it's hard to run a business probably with many workers to manage.

Alot of people want to be self-employed and run their own business but when they get there they discover it is really difficult to do. Only the gifted few with broader minds who likely enjoy what they do are able to endure the difficulties of running businesses in order to understand the dos and don'ts of it and stick to what works. And eventually master the businesses, expand and probably employ people to work for them.
It's important to master a business... When you do, risk is drastically reduced.
88  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Restart, is it a good thing for humanity? on: November 28, 2023, 10:20:40 AM
What is your opinion about a restart of modern civilization?
Where no internet, no satellites, no military exist? Of course we will still have land lines, TV, but no secret, no banking system, no fighter jets, no drones, no missiles, nothing.

Do you think we will change as a race to become better? Or do you think we can never change and are doomed no matter what?

Did we have so many wars and injustice in the world before the internet?
Are we truly becoming the slaves of our creation? Who will be our John Connor to shut down the skynet, or do you think we will never reach there in reality? What if we could stop skynet before it spreads? Or maybe whatever we do won't make any changes and we should wait for the inevitable to happen?

So many questions, yet 1 answer, we can only wake up to the truth, but we can never change.

Welcome to "restart".



Guess you mean "no Modern Military" and "no Banking System" because Military and banking system are not really modern institutions. They have been in existence for many centuries, though the ancient ones may not be so modern compared to what we have today.

Secret is necessary unless in society where no evil exists and everyone is trustworthy. Things are kept secret mainly for safety reasons. If you are completely safe in a society where everyone is good no need to keep secret unless maybe for games/test.


Now to the topic, restarting humanity or society will only be good if the society will start with just/good law that must be followed always. A slight deviation from the law will definitely lead them back to the issues you highlighted. Besides, those issues are not unique to modern world. You can find them  worst in primitive societies.
In regards to the use of modern technologies, to be honest the issue is with the way they were designed or made, and the abuse/misuse of them. It's OK for society to be very creative/productive as long as what they produce is good/safe. There is a race by humans to be at the top and they believe having the best tech/stuff will get them there. And if you try to restrict yourself from producing such tech other people would do it and get there before you and probably have advantage over you. So, you see why it's hard not to be very productive in the world. You are always under pressure to get there first.

Unfortunately, the current world's way of advancement is preprogrammed to move in predetermined direction. Any invention you make that deviate from the program, no matter how good won't be accepted or would be modified to be compatible with the program. The goal of the program is to get societies to a point where they are completely controlled.

Hi, i have business bank account in Netherlands (business under my name) and i can overdraft it till 50K eur.
Well im going back to Bulgaria and ill never comeback in Netherlands in my life time, so what can happen if im not going to pay that negative balance? also bank will clearly sees that i did that for purpose and not paying it back.

Netherlands is European union so as Bulgaria.

I might pay back it slowly after some time, but now i just need realistic answers and no trolling.

Thank you all.


Better not be indebted if you won't pay back. It could be a trap which can ruin your life. .  And with alot of things getting too centralized in the future with AI scouring through your entire financial records to look for issues, you could be blackmailed into doing what you do not want.

In regards to what could happen to the debt. If you have your biodata with the bank and they still went ahead to lend you money knowing you are from another country, they probably have ways of recovering it (assuming they are aware of your nationality) when they need to. Could be through some sort of regional central bank or with the cooperation of your country's financial institution etc.



Try to owe no one nothing to feel really free.

That is actually part of the reasons they are developing AI to takeover the roles of humans. People will be so dumb in 2 years time that they won't be able to distinguish between right and wrong. There will be so much anarchy/lawlessness which will be justified because there is no light in them.
We currently in a stage called great awakening which is a period where humans are given the opportunity to know the truth (as they have been woken up by the bright Light of our CREATOR which shines allover the World ) to decide whether to join the right or left.
So I expect things to get really bad for people soon when the light is taken away, with AI doing most of the job for them.
91  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Colleges still refuse to apologize for promoting violence against me. on: November 22, 2023, 09:55:54 AM
Something like that reminds me of what actually happens in societies and their education system. They get too suspicious of you if you are independent or so called freethinker who do not think like them. They feel you are different, become suspicious of you and think you will likely expose their bad secrets.
If you don't have a Superior Master who can save you from their evil master, then they oppress and discomfort you till you are conquered and fully become their master's slave like the rest who he used to discomfort and conquer you.
I don't want you to assume that those in the lower level all crave your blood. There are half humans half zombies who could still be sympathetic toward fellow hybrids and towards full humans but they are overwhelmed by their collective dark side.

Now, it's expected that those who made it to the higher level have been fully/mostly transformed to zombies, or better still, they have been fully/mostly programmed to behave more like their evil master, and the behavior includes strong deception, disguise, pretense, etc in order to look like the real ones from the good side.

The solution is to rely completely on the Superior MASTER or they'll eventually conquer you.

There are too many bad secrets groups/cults many do not know they are part of, that are programmed to behave in ways that outside forces would find oppressive. They only show you love when you have become like them

Noticed that in a lot of schools... Lots of time women who do not  have too much turbulent live are usually top in their classes, it's most likely because they believe whatever they are taught more than the opposite gender while the men would apply critical thinking for the information that may contradict reality,  If there are contradictions that do not please them, the information becomes more difficult to stick in their minds
It's much easier for information (whether good or evil) to stick on your mind if you enjoy consuming and accepting it as truth.
93  Economy / Economics / Re: ~85% of money doesn't exist on: November 20, 2023, 09:44:54 AM
I don't really have any problem with printing money as long as the money is well used . . Printing money only becomes a problem when it's used mostly for consumption or for things that are of low quality. The low quality part also affects Bitcoin, while fake bitcoins could be indirectly used to lower the price/value of real Bitcoin.
This is why it's important to have solid law enforcement to prevent such abuse . Without it there is nothing much you can do, even for Bitcoin. Our strong support (which is temporal) for certain fiat currencies like US Dollar means there will be less of such abuse, as eyes are on them, coupled with strong law enforcement. Euro may benefit from this depending on whether the managers and the economy of participating countries continue to share similar value with USD managers & economy.
94  Economy / Economics / Re: when the rich say 'ill give 95% of my billion away over my lifetime' explained on: November 20, 2023, 08:34:25 AM
I think one of the reasons they say that is to avoid being criticized for not doing much with their wealth in the midst of poverty and societal needs.
It may have crossed their minds or they are likely encouraged by those who manage them to giveaway so they don't get into problems for piling up riches for themselves like the "Rich Fool" who piled up so much riches and never lived to enjoy it. .
Riches are given for the benefit society/people not to be piled up for your future enjoyments..

I think there could be those who really giveaway so much just to feel better or not to feel too guilty... but not without expecting something in return from the receiver/society. If they do not expect anything in return they would be giving without anyone (except maybe their wives) knowing.

95  Other / Politics & Society / Our reply to Bin Laden's Letter to Americans on why he was fighting them on: November 18, 2023, 08:39:10 AM
Our reply to the alleged old letter from Osama Bin Laden to Americans on why he was fighting and opposing them


One of the most interesting parts of the letter is where he claim that *Muslims are the inheritors of Moses and of the "real Torah" that has not been changed*, and also claimed that Muslims are followers of Moses, and this Moses followers have been promised the right to "Palestine" (the land of Israel) in Torah

What he didn't let us know is what makes the Torah used by Israelites/Jews not the real one, or
what was changed in the Torah?
Did he not know that the real Torah was for the Children of Israel and strangers who become part of Isreal? If you followed the Torah as a stranger or someone from the world, you have actually become part of Isreal and will work to defend her rather than fight her. If GOD allows strangers to fight and conquer Isreal, it's because they have deviated from the way or the real Torah. They have become the hithens rather than true Israelites. So, when you are allowed to fight & defeat her you are actually fighting the hithens not the true Isreal. Now, are true believers supposed to fight the true Isrealites and takeover their lands? Ofcourse not.

If Palestine/Muslims are actually following the real Torah, they are supposed to be called Isrealites rather than Muslims - the followers of Koran, but if they are not really following the Torah then they do not qualify to be called Israelites.
By the way, the actual Isreal is the Father of 12 tribes/sons of Isreal. Are you part of the 12 tribes? Which tribe are you part of. How do you even know which one you are part of?

The tribes of Isreal who follow the real Torah would observe the Holydays, Feasts, Practices like Sabbath(7th day of the week), Passover, Genital circumcision etc. Which do you observe/practice, or rather do you even observe them atall? If you don't, then you do not follow the true Torah, you don't qualify to be call an Israelite and have no right to the land of Israel.

There is a New Isreal whose members are now followers of True MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST rather than Moses (and Moses told the old Israelites to obey/follow JESUS). Certain laws/practices of the old in the Torah have been fulfilled or are nolonger necessary for them, like the law for allowed/forbidden animals, animals sacrifice, etc. The True MESSIAH whom certain people follow do not even permit HIS followers to revenge, hate enemies etc,... This and other of HIS teachings are in complete opposite of what you encourage muslims to do.  Those who do opposite of what JESUS teaches are anti-christs and not HIS followers.

China, the EU and the US have all placed restrictions on the development of AI.  Is this a wise move?

Apple is outspending many governments on AI research.  You can be sure North Korea and Iran are working on it.   It's a genie that cannot be put back in it's botte; the first nation to get AGI (General intelligence instead of narrow or specific) will be able to shut down all other research.

Imagine a scene in a movie where a gun gets knocked and lands a few meters from two combatants.   In a matter of milliseconds they try to judge each other with their eyes, then they both jump at it.   Anyone that understands the significant and era-changing power of AI is going to do everything they can to get it first.

Restriction doesn't mean a ban on AI development, or does it? Could mean limiting what the AI developers can do or asking them to follow certain rules, which I think is ok as long as the rules prevent them from developing things that can be harmful to people/society.
One of the worst things you can give an AI is freewill with no boundaries/rules and effective kill-switch if it crosses the boundary or goes rogue. So, I think they need to figure out how to solve this.
97  Economy / Economics / Re: The Thailand government will distribute money to its citizens. Economists critic on: November 16, 2023, 09:40:02 AM
What stops people who benefit from the scheme from reselling things they buy for cash?

I'm actually OK with limiting the kind of things people who benefit from free money can buy with the money, as they could still be motivated to work for money they can buy anything with.  Besides, the free money has to be spent on things that are abundant in supply or things that can be sufficiently produced anytime, to avoid creating inflation.
  

Nevertheless, I believe people should be encouraged to work hard for every money they earn. This will help them value the money and spend it more prudently which will consequently strengthen the value of the money.   When it becomes necessary to help people who do not have enough, you should still tie the money that will be given to them to hardwork. They should be guranteed to receive the money when they need it, but under the condition that they solve some listed problems for society.



You could however develop similar scheme for under-paid people who work really hard and do fair or good job. That's better way to stimulate the economy because they are more likely to spend the money in ways that help productivity and grow the economy. And even could use the opportunity to own their own businesses and employ people the government want to give free money. People who work hard and well should be able to manage their own businesses unlike those who don't. Besides if you give any kind of person free money, he/she won't  be motivated to work hard and will likely expect wage that is higher than the free money he gets from government when he decides to work.

By the way, if you work hard for your money, nobody will have the right to determine how you use it. So people should really be careful with "free money".
98  Economy / Economics / Re: How to survive hyperinflation? on: November 15, 2023, 08:48:40 AM
How do you strategically navigate hyperinflation to safeguard your financial well-being?

Would you invest on crypto, stocks or household when the cash is not the king?


It depends on where the hyperinflation is happening. It's probably not going to be global unless you experience some sort of chronic global problem where most things become extremely scarce or most countries become consumers based with less productivity.

But what if I told you that one of the best ways to beat hyperinflation is to become more productive by investing in scarce things that are in high demand for local consumption and for export in order to earn more valuable currency like dollar? Crypto/Bitcoin is not yet well developed to the extent of encouraging anyone to invest or earn, like the USD is which is regulated by government. It hopefully will get there in the future but for now, you should stick to productivity and exporting some of your products to earn stronger currency like the USD that is unlikely to experience the hyperinflation any time soon. If you need more stronger currency, become more productive to export more. By the way, earning stronger currency like USD will also enable you import things you need that are not available locally and have become too expensive due to the hyperinflation

Just boycott all the evil or bad quality products people produce, especially those linked to the conflict, and you will be fine. Company owners or workers who are blind/bad enough to produce things that are of poor quality will likely not see clearly enough to make the right judgment on the issue between the two societies. Boycotting the producers should help prevent them from contributing more problems to the conflict. We need people who understand the issue well enough to resolve it with good solutions both sides won't be able to find fault in...which means the problem solvers must be unbiased.

Some printers are known to include watermarks on printed pages for further identification of the device used to print.  This is Privacy concerning.  I guess you can understand why.

Today we have Smart phones though.  What is known is that they leave EXIF information on pictures we take with the camera.  EXIF is easy to erase.  Particularly if you have a Linux Operating System such as Tails.  Does any body here know of any proof that these photos ALSO have some kind of other 'watermark' similar to those Machine Identification Codes we saw in printers?

I imagine this would be a number of pixels arranged in a certain spot that reveal identification of the device used to take photos with.  Or something like that.


In regards to the bolded: it'll be hard to know since alot of the softwares and hardware companies aren't open source. And they tend to follow certain standards that aid governments in tracking down people who may try to use their products to harm society.
