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.

THE PRESIDENT: Because the -- all which is on the table begins
to address the big cost drivers. For example, how benefits are
calculate, for example, is on the table; whether or not benefits
rise based upon wage increases or price increases. There's a
series of parts of the formula that are being considered. And
when you couple that, those different cost drivers, affecting
those -- changing those with personal accounts, the idea is to
get what has been promised more likely to be -- or closer
delivered to what has been promised.
Does that make any sense to you? It's kind of muddled. Look,
there's a series of things that cause the -- like, for example,
benefits are calculated based upon the increase of wages, as
opposed to the increase of prices. Some have suggested that we
calculate -- the benefits will rise based upon inflation, as
opposed to wage increases. There is a reform that would help
solve the red if that were put into effect. In other words, how
fast benefits grow, how fast the promised benefits grow, if
those -- if that growth is affected, it will help on the red.

This is a great country! The Yankees thought to starve us out
when they sent their ships to guard our seaport towns. But we

few guns, little ammunition, and not much of anything but food,
cotton and tobacco; but the people helped themselves and God
helped the people. We were considered an indolent, weak people,
but our enemies have found us strong, because we had justice on
one side.

The classic theory of deterrence postulates a calculating evildoer
who can evaluate the cost-benefits of proposed actions and will act
-- and forbear from acting -- on the basis of these calculations.
It also presupposes society's ability (and willingness) to withstand
the blows we seek to deter and to use the visible punishment of those
blows as threats capable of deterring future harms.

it to be fit only for the poor. In fact, generally, only indentured
servants and prisoners were fed lobster. It's said that during the

the Gulf of Maine Aquarium (GMA), servants in Massachusetts even
specified in their contracts that they would not be forced to eat

The world is waiting for you people with a club.
....
Now will saying "yes" get you in trouble at times? Will saying
"yes"lead you to doing some foolish things? Yes it will. But
don't be afraid to be a fool. Remember, you cannot be both young
and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the
world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom,
but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn
anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a
rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or
disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying "yes" begins
things. Saying "yes" is how things grow. Saying "yes" leads to
knowledge. "Yes" is for young people. So for as long as you have
the strength to, say "yes."
