The typical billionaire has so many ladders that it would fill the screen. Not just the picture, your whole screen, and then some. The problem would be getting over or around the ladders rather than the wall. The pile of ladders of millionaires would still be quite a climb, but you could quite easily make it as you would have slaves carrying you over. Meanwhile the most hardworking average person has approximately a single stick and is lambasted for not getting over the wall with it, with armies of self-help gurus screaming at the top of their lungs and ladders for you to turn a stick into a ladder like it's something you can feasibly do.

Assuming that man has a tiny body and normal head and estimating the weigths to be roughly the same size as the head, we can arrive at an estimate of 15000 dreams/balloons.

The volume of a male head is roughly 1329 cc. 1329 cc of lead weighs 15.1 kg. There are 6 weights, so we get roughly 90 kg. This is surprisingly low, and I assume the real weigth would be much more. We can assume the man also weighs 90 kg to offset the lead probably weighing more because of not being round. So probably something like 200 kg if we round up a bit. According to this you need about a litre of helium for each gram you want to lift, so you need 200K litres of helium. According to the same source, we can divide that number by 15 to get an approximation for the amount of balloons we need, which is 13333. To stay on the safe side I would go with at least 15K balloons.

That might not be a problem

Obviously the boomers have liberated us all from any personal responsibility and things will be brighter in the future where we keep blaming them for everything.

The world is full of good people that you can steal from and who won't fight back because that would make them "bad".

The scientists preoccupied with whether or not they should never got anything done.

You'll be last, because it wants you to witness its deeds.

If you're good at selling then you can make more money selling nothing than you can if you're not good at selling and sell something valuable.

> (1) Do we want to continue increasing the data collection levels (you could argue that it will correlate to safety for some)

Yes, because we wish to extinguish privacy.

> (2) Do we want to keep this data collection in the hands of opaque institutions?

Yes, because we crave post-orwellian authoritarianism so nightmarish it makes North Korea look like anarchy.

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm making observations.

The whole point of Ticketmaster is to make you hate it rather than the artist.

Pestilence because of lust or pride,
famine thanks to greed and gluttony,
war due to wrath and envy,
and death in sloth.

When efficient people mess things up they are very efficient at that as well. That's why you want your lazy people to commit all the mistakes - they give up before they cause a mess so great that the efficient people can't fix it anymore.

It's intentional. Make people so confused they'll have to actually read the manual for once.

How does she know Jesus will resurrect her given that she didn't allow him to resurrect another after her death?

If you want to attack an otherwise peaceful nation that will use robots to slaughter everybody you send over their border then maybe you're called Putin and should be ashamed of yourself instead of trying to brainwash people into not defending themselves because you think they have a moral responsibility to be pacifists but you don't. This is all on him and any Russian who doesn't oppose him.

Speaking of Putin, do you think he cares? Nothing will change the mind of a mass murderer like him and even if you killed all 150 million Russian soldiers that crossed your borders they still wouldn't depose him and they would just keep sending more soldiers to rape children. Your theory breaks down because you assume Russians will back down due to losses when they just double down when they lose. You may think that there is some sense in left in their minds, that they aren't exactly like the unthinking machines you fear, but if anything they are less humane than unthinking machines even. Unthinking machines can be turned off when the war is won but enraged Russians will keep raping innocent civilians for decades after a war.

Even Russia itself has admitted that over a million people have been relocated away from a potentially prosperous life under a more western civilization only to be repeatedly raped under Russian justice (because they will have to spread their message of terror to make their potential future enemies afraid of them). I'd take a robot controlled by sane people over a bunch of hooligans ruled by an insane gas-station-mob-boss-macho-rapelord any day.

> why are both sides fighting in the first place?

Russia because Putin wants a legacy, the west because we still remember Hitler and what resulted when he was appeased time and time again. You could make the very same argument about not using tanks against Hitler but you would simultaneously be handing over the entire planet to him. Your intentions may be founded in sensible pacifism, but that won't work against the kind of people who use death camps to exterminate entire ethnic groups.

That's exactly not how extroversion and introversion work. Introverts do extroverted stuff, just less frequently and they will probably be outside their comfort zone while doing it, and vice versa.

That's a cute and naive ideology to have while Russian torturebots cross your border and start rearranging the internal organs of your children.

Jokes on them. Nobody can see the sky thanks to their light and regular pollution anyways.

This would have been better as a single image.
