Ohh if it was only lead ... .
Long video, and scary as heck - btw basically the whole globe is affected

The frowning upon is religion based values. On the other hand multipe wives and no other husbands allowed is also religion based.
Next question would be why is same sex marriage frowned upon?

There is a reason why ancient societies were matriarchy based. It was always easy to tell who the mother was. And because of that the wealth was tied to the mother's bloodline instead of the father's.
If you want a real - future proof inheritance system: leave everything to the mother than as she dies the children get everything.

One on one pairing is more fair with big numbers. You no longer have to take your brother's widow as a wife, you do not need to marry to make sure you have one extra goat to milk ar having a maid and incubator for the next generation.
Humans generally speaking do not need to make more than 2 kids. Your bloodline won't die out because of modern medicine. Nobody's bloodline worth anything anyway. Your genes are not that superior.

So there is no logical reason to support a one sided marriage system.
Now open polyamory where everyone is on board, equal, open about it and can leave any time - go ahead that totally green light from me.

Chop onions and cook them in a big pan til soft , add high quality roasted ground red pepper (the key to the recipe), pepper, salt, garlic.
Cook the potatoes in salty water (or microwave it), smash it.
Cook some pasta.
Mix all of this together.
Serve with pickled vegetables / coleslaw.

I do not agree that efficiency is good.
If its is good, we would live like we keep pigs and chickens in meat farms. More efficient is to eat bug based protein, and why waste time on eating instead of 100% meal replacement foods.
Why keep people with disabilities or with different "colors of skin" (insert any other thing there) from the most "efficient" ones?
The best way to think is Matrix-esqe pods for humans and living in a simulation.
Only bad part of that picture is that we are not needed at all.

And these are the dark points of unlimited change.
We all know capitalism is very bad for the majority. We know big money do not care about marginalized groups. These are all just numbers. And at the end you and I we are all numbers that can be cut. I'm probably not going to be alive, but I hope for a bright future for the upcoming generations. The problem is that I do see AI potentially darkening their skies.
Don't get me wrong AI can be a great tool if you learn how to use it. But the benefits are not going to be in the people hands.

We need a general society overhaul where not the profit is the only thing that matters. Efficiency is good when you burn renewable wooden pellets and you want to get the most out of the chemical reaction. Efficiency is good when you are using the minimum amount of material to build something (with 3x oversized safety measures). But efficiency in AI and in social terms are going to be a problem.

Humans will not have worry free lives in current society. All the replaced labor keeps the earnings in the stockholders hands. But this went really far from AI. Sorry for the rant, but I do worry for the future.
I believe blindly accepting something before even attempting to look into the pitfalls not a great idea. And we never see all the pitfalls coming.

The worry is deeper than just different changes in production. Not all progress is good, think of the broken branches of the evolution.
The fact that us don't teach kids how to write already took a lot of different childhood development and later brain development and memory improvement out of the run.
Qith ai now drawing, writing and music became a single sentence prompt. So why keep all those things? Why literally waste time developing a skill that you can not sell? Sure for fun...
And you are bringing up efficiency. Efficiency is just a buzzword that big companies are using to replace human labor. How much more efficient is a bank where you have 4 machine and one human teller? Or a fast food restaurant where the upfront employee just delivers the food to the counter and you can only place order with a computer.
There is a point where our monkey brains can't compete and won't be able to exist without human to human stuff. But I don't need to worry in 2 years we will be not able to differentiate between ai and humans. And we can just fake that connection for the rest of our efficient lifes.
I'm not against improving stuff, but qhere this is focused won't help us in the long run...

Hey at least Nevada voted to remove "slavery" from the laws.
Tho an astonishing 40% wanted to keep it.

Input Input Input! I'm addicted to continuous inputs and reactions.
If i can keep my brain running I do not need a phone. I'm happy with a good book for hours.

Honestly if you have the ai text summary turn on for your SO's texts... Maybe it wasn't that out of the blue.

The saying is hard to translate to English:
They can't see the forest behind the tree - that they were stuck on looking at.

An other one:
They can't find the udder between the horns.

To add to the 'canned answers' here is one more:
As non medication, Magnesium has a muscle relaxation effect. With a big cup of water before going to sleep it could help falling asleep. (Tho make sure you are using the right kind of magnesium pill that actually gets absorbed into the body)

Thank you for posting this. I will try it, even if I own the original. :)

What they bring is suffering. No one ever wishes for a non responsible child. No one wants their child to be the "special one". No one wants all the hardship it brings. Even the proxy Munchausen prefers to have a functioning level so they don't have to do the work. No one wants to be tested by a "greater power" (random gene selection) especially not the sick little being that Teoretically Could be cured but there are people like you who like to decide stuff for OTHERS. How much time do you spend at orphanage with special needs? How much contact do you have to sit on the high horse and try to be god? How much time and money do you spend on personally helping the kids? How many diapers did you change to get to this opinion?

Gene thereapy has a right to exist. And with everything else as humans, we will abuse it to the limit. The problem is not the cure but the mindset. And your pretentious preaching won't bring conversation only suffering. You are not helping.
