  • First of all you’ll be really happy with all those babies when you turn 80 and society hasn’t fallen because the average age is 70.

    Second, when childcare is free more people can join the workforce, this increases taxes and productivity.

    But maybe the most important it will make society more equal. When you’re poor working almost doesn’t make sense if you have to spend 80% of your salary on childcare. So more people don’t work, these people are usually women. That really doesn’t help with an equal society, because a big group can’t really work so they can’t really climb any ladders.

    At home I hang most of the clothes, but we where at a short trip and we had some wet towels and swimgear, so de decided to just do one full laundry with most of our wet and dirty clothes. The first duration before I even started the cycle was that it should be done at about 16:10 it was actually done more than an hour later.

    Or a website where they post stuff like that? Like the schools website? My son’s school has it’s own app where they post updates, photos, etc. Not a huge fan of another app, but at least it’s not public and I’m not forced to use Facebook or Twitter.



  • Thanks, I like your comment and I agree that I think people just aren’t evolved to have millions of fans/followers. If you look at people that got famous at a young age, most (maybe almost all) of them turned out into pretty unstable people. I’m taking about tv/movie stars here. Nowdays young people not only get famous, but also are bombarded with endless comments, lots of them very negative.

    Even for young people that are not famous at all, when other kids around you always share things online where it looks like they have a much much “better” life, it messes you up. So many people just pretend to have a great life online, but never share all the bad stuff that also happens.

    If you grow up with social media, you grow up with a complete fake version of reality. I kind of fear for the moment my kids will be old enough to want to join social media. As a parent you can’t really stop them and I also don’t want to be the super controlling parent anyway. It’s something that scares me because I know I will have to deal with it in a few years.


  • Yes for anyone interested

    https://simulation-argument.com/simulation.html

    This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) the human species is very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage; (2) any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof); (3) we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation. It follows that the belief that there is a significant chance that we will one day become posthumans who run ancestor-simulations is false, unless we are currently living in a simulation. A number of other consequences of this result are also discussed.
