I'm getting increasingly frustrated with how a majority of people brush shit off until its actually bad and the consequences are being expereinced.

For example, 2 weeks ago one of most massive CME ever documented occurred on the opposite side of the sun. Had that happened 4 weeks earlier (the sun spins) we would have been in the path and potentially would have been living rather different lives right now.

There is an expected increase of CME activity over the next few years but is there any push to secure hardware for our power infrastructure? Nope. So just what the fuck are we doing? It's on every fucking front. So many brush real issues off and put people in power who brush those issues off, until suddenly everyone is scrambling and wondering what the fuck happened.

The only US presidential candidate who has ever mentioned AI automation as a hazard that needs regulation got less than 1 percent of the vote and was widely viewed as a non-serious candidate. The people will never vote in their best interests. Ever. That would require being united, and having a bunch of united states is unamerican.
