THEN they NEED to have ultrasonic sensors, activated at … say … 1/2-metre intervals, because LIDAR may be blind to float-glass that isn’t at a right-angle to it, but SONAR isn’t blind to sheet-glass.

Want to know what possibility for harvesting a particular element is, from the ocean?
click on it in https://www.mbari.org/know-your-ocean/periodic-table-of-elements-in-the-ocean/
( scroll down a bit )
& see a new page open up, identifying how abundant/not it is, & the top-to-bottom-gradient of it…
Rare-earths may be sufficiently harvestable from the ocean using Metal-Organic-Frameworks, for coastal de-salination plants, or tidal-power-plants, if done at scale…

Remember that infinite-greed is part of the equation, though…
IF revenue MUST increase, no matter what the cost-to-the-world, THEN … the example of covid supermarket-profits-skyrocketing, while people couldn’t afford food, comes to mind…
That is part of the problem with concentration-of-wealth-archy paradigm & moneyarchy paradigm: they’ve both got infinities in their goals, that is infinite-concentration-of-wealth, & that breaks civilization’s viability.
The 2 equation-classes are incompatible.
Public-benefit-companies are where we ought be, but … there isn’t even that category of incorporation in Canada, ttbomk…

Internet-itself, & social-discussion-forum ought be considered required-civil-infrastructure, removing it from narcissistic-depravity’s control, … but nobody’s got the spine to understand that countries are automatically highjacked, otherwise, by the platforms that the country’s social-nervous-system is.

PS: part of the problem is the ideological-position, that conforming-with-opinion is the only valid option, & the alternative is being-against…
whereas in Science, diversity-of-perpsective is how we outsmart ignorance, & how we win.
That objectivity, that taking-multiple-perspectives, has to be IN our culture, for us to win.
Otherwise, it’s only this-conforming against that-conforming, ideology vs ideology, & that’s just herdbeast-herds-butting-heads-with-extra-steps.
Externalizing issues, de-politicizing them, so that people can SEE that losing-food-security-produces-migrations-and-wars, & it has nothing whatsoever to do with being “woke” or not: it’s a SYSTMS question…
that kind of thing’s required, too, but no discussion-forum is coded to provide the required-means, so … that potential dies, the way we’re doing things.
Too bad, it’d have been nice to be more-viable, but if it “can’t be afforded”, then Status Quo will have to be our epitaph, right?

Sociopolitical-strongarming prefers emotionally-loaded “debate”, whereas issues are things that just are, even when we’re ignoring them, & that requires a totally-different method-for-mitigating-the-problems-living-in-them.
Without sociopolitical-strongarming. & making that the proper place for issues to be seen/discussed, so that there’d be none of the “just keep in your head the context & the principles, & fight over whatever it is that you’re currently-remembering” … instead it’s all caused to be more rational.
That is a whole-society problem, though: countries which could have been saved by such a change, die, groups too, regions too…
It’s the same principle that Stephen R. Covey identified, decades ago, when he pointed it out that the lowest-3%-in-effectiveness didn’t externalize their goals, but the top-1% all of them did.
Countries need to externalize the issues, in issue-diagrams, instances need to do the same, industries, projects, communities, regions, etc, as a standard method for de-toxifying things & making the problem and not the politics be what people are concentrating into correcting.
Whatever…

You can manage, or control, whichever, your-own territory: you can’t control other people’s/factions’ territories.
Fact of life.
It isn’t that anybody “can” make the internet safe, or healthy, rather, it is that we have to make good internet successfully compete in the ecology, & therefore remain viable when the DarkTetrad motivations { narcissism, machiavellianism, sociopathy-psychopathy, sadism } are trying to gut/murder good from the world.
Natural Selection! Successfully compete, & remain in the ecology!
Simple as that.
( PS: reading Logan, King, & Dr. Fischer-Wright’s book “Tribal Leadership” would be competence-growing, as it’s on the 5 culture/process levels, from gang/mass-shooter’s competitive-nihilism CultureLevel1 to “LIVING IS SELF-INHERENTLY AWESOME!!” CultureLevel5. They incorrectly call them “stages”, but caterpillar->moth is stages, these usually revert to CultureLevel2, subject-to-narcissism culture…
Here’s the book itself: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/tribal-leadership-revised-edition
& here’s the TED Talk with the oversimplified intro to that work: https://www.ted.com/talks/david_logan_tribal_leadership
IF the people managing or leading communities were all competent in those levels, & their natures & functions, THEN it’d be easier to de-toxify our portion of the world. )

I’m NOT for just-becoming-the-ruling-gang.
There are plenty of civil leverages which the left … perhaps won’t … exercise, when it reaches the point of mass-butchery ( like hiring private-investigators to GET the evidence of criminality of the worst in-authority-role scum, & prosecute them, because the establishment won’t, then hiring good criminal-circuit lawyers to secure their convictions ).
There’s a tippingpoint … I think it’s 1/20 of the population, when that percentage of the population is protesting, then the mainstream begin adapting-to, & adopting, the protesting-position’s views.
The fundamental cause of people behaving the way they do, is that they, themselves, are ruled-by-peer-pressure, & they therefore presume that applying-peer-pressure cannot be disobeyed.
The left’s assertions reek of this…
The left’s institutional “authorities” also reek of this “this institute asserts that such-and-such-a-country MUST obey this assertion” kind of thing…
Delusional, & narcissism, both.
Action’s required, but it ought be effective, strategic, civilrights and civilaccountability centered action not just mobarchy, or your-gang-replaced-with-our-gang political “revolutions”, which never EVER produce the civil benefits the raw-potential would enable.
Solving the wrong problem is Traditional, iow.
& nobody’s ruthlessly-strategic-enough-in-altruism to solve the right problem, … so, therefore nothing’ll change, it looks like …

They use different sets-of-software, & different software-package-management-apps.
Which means that not-only am I wanting what they ( all of them ) consider non-standard, their system-maintaining apps are different ( RasPi vs Ubuntu ), & I’m betting nothing on their behaviors being identical.
Being incapable of installing build-essential in Lubuntu 25.10 on x86_64 is utterly braindead: that’s one of the most-fundamental packages in the entire Ubuntu ecology.

If one has woke up, then remain awake until one’s natural cycle swings the other way: live in harmony with one’s organism, & be healthier.

You probably live in a society which intentionally supresses gangs, serial-murderers, & other kinds of “freedom” that some really want to be indulging in…
“Freedom” is a code-word for lawlessness, for many.
& state-lawlessness allows personal-law-with-a-gun to be the only law.
Much of the ideology of the US seems to be predicated on that kind of “freedom”: the freedom to be the only law, to be the enforcer, the judge, the jury, & the executioner.
As many have noted, the whole “free speech” thing means “only for me” kind of “freedom”.
But it’s the same logic with right-to-live, right to kill-others, etc: it’s narcissism, all the way through that whole ideology, from the evidence it forces in the world’s face.
DarkTriad’s real.
It’s committed to making itself the only “lord”.
Every variant of oligarchy/feudalism bullshit, whether “communist-party” enforced feudalism, or fascist feudalism, or corporatist feudalism … all of them demonstrate that removing livingwage from as much of the population as possible is the basis of the “freedom” they want to enforce, because of what it enables later…
I wish this world were sane.
I wish the system itself were rigged to be raising lives up as far in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs as possible.
But the evidence is that criminality’s the real ruler of this world.
& that healthy-freedom is only a temporary mirage…
All those reports about democracy being eradicated, globally … it’s civilrights which is being eradicated globally.
That’s the “enemy” in the eyes of the ones who’re highjacking our planet’s governments…
I’ve read that in Scandinavia it’s entirely possible for women to choose their careers by preference, not by being pressured into it by institutions or by men.
& the segregation-of-jobs is significantly greater than it is in the places where male-pressure ( North America for sure, probably some of Europe ) or institutional pressure ( Soviet Union was that way )…
That is a kind of freedom.
Parenting, simply being able to afford to be with one’s children for their first 4 years, & to be providing them with proper nutrition, shelter, education, etc, is freedom.
That’s been nearly-eradicated from North American lives, except for the most-fortunate…
Parenting is a luxury?!
Insanity.
Maybe I’m just too bitter…
I don’t think the kind of freedom that you’re having is normal, in North America.
& that’s a problem, in my bitter eyes.
Sorry to have bothered with all these words.

Freedom is dependent on responsibility.
The more DarkTriad { narcissism, machiavellianism, sociopathy-psychopathy } is rampant, the more enforcement is required in order to limit that.

I’m seeing that people aren’t having a good objective framework for judging evil, so here’s my dimensions-of-evil, including the stuff in DarkTriad & DarkTetrad:

More-dimensions is more worse than stronger-in-a-single-dimension, though.

There’s a difference, now, though:
Humankind’s doing its “mitosis” thing.
Humankind is dividing-by-alignment.
That only happens 1x per world, ttbomk.
( after the original Industrial Revolution, the Roman Empire, then the “seedling” that that was, in our world eventually grew into a “sapling”, the official Industrial Revolutions-sequence…
then, as population reaches ecological-saturation & technology simultaneously reaches world-breaking power, ClimatePunctuation kicks-in…
etc
all eventually enforce The Great Filter.
& in that Great Filter, alignment polarizes.
Anti-Life polarization & With-Life polarization.
Every world of people-similar-to-our-kind would have to go through it, same as “puberty”, but for whole-species )
As the process progresses, the polarization is going to become more & more extreme.
So, until now we’ve been mixtures, every individual ( with few exceptions ), but … that’s going to be changing, until there’s zero mixture left, & everybody ( near the end of this century ) is absolutely-polarized, 1 way or the other.

Twist the question:
Do you really care if your partner lives-in instagram “reality” or in what you experience as reality?!
Appearance-based “league” costs: it costs attention, focus, dedication, & resources.

Had a friend tell me once they lost a friend to modeling: it ate her brain.
Now all she could discuss were makeup & hair.
Was Einstein at the bottom, or the top, of “league”, once he’d become a philosopher?

One’s values is the basis of “league”.
