And yet he ought not entirely to regret it, because he cannot be certain that he has indeed become a wise man - in search of lost time\r\n\r\nfinally found the reason i dont delete my old shitty youtube videos.\r\n\r\n","author":"5154c5237f123bcd580002fc"},{"id":"53250b8163687205de0a0100","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@twistedmetalero\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/532504066368724d17920000#post_532504066368724d17920000\r\nIn search of lost time.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nGoing back a couple pages about how I was talking about how neo-luddite beliefs have gained a stranglehold in politics I've been thinking about this, well as well as the wish to have the superpower to force-choke the people who argue that technology is bad(mainly cause some people have some thick ass skulls), and I realized something; the current neo-luddites in politics would have the budget to where 100% of the usa's budget goes towards things related to war and shit can education, nasa and a whole bunch of other branches of government.\r\n\r\nThe problem with that is the more I think about this knowledge truly is power. The immediate problem with congress right now when you think about the military is \"we want shit tons of guns, *BUT* we don't actually want to spend money towards research and development cause we just want guns\". The military already has railguns and lazers to shoot missiles out of the sky and rockets bounce off of our tanks(*disclaimer certain types of rockets, not all types of rockets) and enemies have to resort to chemical concoctions that explode under vehicles to destroy our vehicles(The achilles heel of a abrams tank is it's flat bottom).\r\n\r\nIf people are so opposed to technological development, but on the same hand want a badass military why not promote research into furthering military technology? I mean right now we have guns that can turn enemies into a blood confetti and vaporize them completely, if someone wants a strong military wouldn't spending money towards technological advancement to the point that opposing soldiers can't harm them, but our soldiers can turn them into ground paste be towards that end?\r\n\r\nIf a country actually makes a fucking terminator it's over, arrivederci, sayonara cause no matter what war they go to they'll fucking destroy everyone and anyone that opposes them. The reason why unmanned ground vehicles haven't taken over the battlefield yet though is that for UAV's it's simply a matter of telling it the coordinates and ordering it to fire; UGV on the other hand have to deal with a million factors and we won't see them take over war for at least another decade.\r\n\r\n\r\nTl:dr; The further I try to understand neo-luddites the more my brain hurts cause if people hate spending money on research and development but want more powerful weaponry that is when \"knowledge is power\" comes into play cause often times more advanced technology does win wars though due to that if there's a significant difference in weaponry technology one side will definitely win and the larger the difference in technological levels the more unfair the chances are stacked.\r\n\r\n*Tl:dr; of Tl:dr; Trying to understand neo-luddites is giving me a hell of a migraine.*","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"5325155e6368721cda290100","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting
