  1.  @livethefuture2492  It's not a quirk. When your mortgage goes from 3% to 6%, your interest cost doesn't go up 3%, it goes up 100%. When you look at your bank statement the word "quirk" will not be on your lips.

  2. Good one, Sparky. But would you accept: 'The Great Reset is the great acceleration of the plutocratic pillaging of the entire planet'?

  3.  @georgeholloway3981  I don't know. My takeaway was that it's murky but there appears to be a certain validity to a claim of that nature. So actually it's perhaps your comment that's misleadingly simplistic.

  4. The shocking anticipated cause: one man's Australian accent shatters every mind on Earth.

  5. I can sum up why to disregard this fellow in far fewer words: he actually states, around the 90-second mark, that we today have "cheap and effective clothing." 🤣

  6. Wow! Two times two times two is eight? I thought it was two! Thanks, guy with an incredibly annoying manner of speaking. Amaze me some more, please!

  7. ​ @donkey7921  No, he's right. In supposing that the Resetters are merely bungling their messaging, the EE guy is quite lazy-minded. He gives them so little credit, as though they're naïve in such matters, that I find him less believable. "Grow up" is way over the top.

  8. AI will be to the internet what the internet was to the phone system. That is to say, it will make it look quaint, and also be quaint.

  9.  @marc.ristau  I don't think "next big step" covers it. It's more like the last big step, although quantum computing will be embedded in there at some point, so it'll be a two-part step. That'll wrap things up. Hawking, Musk and others saw/see a strong chance of Planet Bot resulting, meaning the extinction of humanity. That's why Musk wants to bail for Mars while there's still time, or might be.

  10. There is no one as brilliant, moral, and exquisitely aware as this guy thinks he is. How his girlfriend must suffer, if he has one.

  11. Nonsense. The number is 328%. That's because 2x = 100% increase, 3x = 200% increase, and so on.

  12. Just half? Well then, I am so relieved.
