  • Its not “Search and Siezure” it is “Searches” and “Siezures”. It violates the “Searches” part and the only way to work around is a warrant. A “search” is not only to search a person’s house, but to subject a person to being followed and tracked day in and out needs a Judicial Warrant in most circumstances because you are violating the subjects right to privacy.

    In the case of Flock they could set up cameras and have trained people watch them, and that is iffy at that, but once it is autommatically stored and cataloged everything everyone does and where they go, and can be used to unwind everything a person does quite litterally like Big Brother, and then you can put that in a data base where the police can litterally do fishing expeditions after the fact to make a case, or the AI can just spit out a name that got a well known car reviewer seconds away from getting his life ended by a police officer because it mixed his plate with annother, that is an entirely different kettle of fish.

    I is like the famous saying of the head of the Polish Secret Police “You show me the man and I will show you the crime”. It is because of this you have a right to not talk to the police and legally speaking any little thing you say or respond to “…can and will be used against you in a court of law.”. If you try hard enough you can come up with multiple crimes for anyone.



  • Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. I have not read the books so I am just going by memory of the movie franchise which I haven’t seen since it first came out (and I have Long Covid) so the finer points of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion(Thank you spellcheck for that one) are not at my fingertips.

    Considering the Death and Destruction of the real world Palantir, not to mention the evil use of general control and aid in creating a police state on purpose to the point that its employees have at several points have opened up large discussions that basically say “Are we the baddies???” I think the evil version of the Palantir shown in the films is the best analogue.

    Anyway updating my post now.


  • If you are attacking the Catholic Pope for being a foreign agent of Communism… You might be the Antichrist. If you back the company that is named after the all-seeing orb turned evil from The Lord of the Rings… You might be the Antichrist. If you obsessively see any opposition or person trying to fight the climate crisis as “The Antichrist”… You might be the Antichrist. If you think Freedom, Democracy, and Governments are the enemies of good… You might be the Antichrist. If you think being against fascism is a bad thing… You might be the Antichrist. If you think humanity shouldn’t exist anymore because you believe in Transhumanism and not humanism… You might be the Antichrist.





  • Small Modular Nuclear Reactors are EXPERIMENTAL. That means for one there is no typical design, let alone good ones. And beyond the BS that Nuclear is clean, it isn’t, they could make regular reactors that take nuclear fuel that is spent and process it back up, the ones that the Canadian Governments have been talking about would be "Oh this module fails, so pull it out and put a brand new one in, which is made like current reactors and generate waste.

    This means that every SMR that goes up is a TEST reactor and they have to figure out new best practices, not to mention the human factor of running the plants. There are reasons why Nuclear Scientists have been “No nuclear facilities in residential areas” and for “Best Practices in Plant Construction and Design” which they never are.

    And as it is standard plants always have huge cost overruns and mid build redesigns.

    Meanwhile although the cost of Solar and Wind is at a all time low, and the down sides of wind are a fraction of what we thought they were, we are still going to need Nuclear to bridge the gap to decarbonizing the economy and that means the best designs, whether they are SMR, Standard, or Thorium Based, and an affordable maintenance system with VASTLY better maintenance, and then deploy that, and not this "Oh we will throw the Uranium at the wall and see what sticks and that we can use to get soft power in other countries. That will come if you do your job right.

    This government… I tell you…
