How a leading economist learned to start worrying and fear artificial intelligence

I'm not sure how I ended up on this channel, but I've been watching all his videos - if you ever wanted to live on a farm and build a huge pond and fill it with aggressive bass, I would check out BamaBass on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@BamaBass

Here's some photos of the village: http://www.allgenerationscare.com/amazing-village-designed-j... it's in the small town of Weesp, in Holland. It's a really neat, self-contained world with restaurants, cafes, supermarket and more. Doors are kept unlocked and residents have the freedom to go out within the village whenever they please. Though it does look like an expensive facility, I'm sure there are ways to make it more affordable in other areas of the world to accommodate more of our aging population that suffers from dementia.

I had this issue when using Google Earth to revisit my trips to the Philippines - some of the locations were blurred on Google Earth. I found an alternative using http://www.flashearth.com/ that uses NASA Aqua, NASA Terra, Bing Maps, HERE Maps, Earth at Night, ArcGIS, and MapQuest.

This is what I was thinking, but then I got downvoted to hell. Understandable, there are innocent civilians and children around - most brainwashed by ISIS. But, it looks like these training camps seem to stay close to the river - as seen in the Vice documentary, "The Islamic State" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzCAPJDAnQA#t=160

My apologies everyone - it was a facetious and tasteless remark, and my poor attempt at being funny, while being sarcastic at the same time.

We need more bellingcats' - this was a great find - can we expect a planned airstrike in this location any time soon?

There will be a bright future for our growing aging population.

I miss Current TV, especially the Vanguard docs. However, Vice makes up for the loss.

>it irreversibly changes the previously professional relationship in a very discomforting way.

This is very true.

It's very therapeutic. Oceans, rivers, streams or even waterfalls always relaxes me. I've lived near oceans all my life and have island hopped many beautiful places. I can't imagine not being near water.

tl;dr: Pot is illegal because of the money coming in from big Pharma companies to keep it down, since they will lose money once legalization occurs. Community Anti-Drug Coalition of America (CADCA) is hypocritical in it's war against marijuana while choosing to ignore the dangers of opioids and related prescription drugs.

Also, law enforcement is lobbying hard to keep the status quo since property seizures from pot activities are a major source of income to law enforcement since the Reagan administration.

"Legalizing marijuana could, however, hurt the bottom line of drug companies that make money off drugs like Oxycontin and Vicodin."
