In general they are the same thing. In the broadest terms, what's seen as moral is what society as a whole approves. By definition, some are early adopters and some are late adopters.

I don’t care. Apathy is the enemy. These people spread it. They should be challenged, not let to convince people not to vote.

I’m talking about the industries like the original post. I don’t foresee AI replacing office workers overnight, it’s far too costly for that.

Well the standard is to laser than iMessage and kinda bad fundamentally, so I wouldn’t count on much else.

A lot of it is how fast AI can wipe out industries. Most technological breakthroughs took time, something like this could literally be overnight. We need time to adapt.

This is the announcement. Next year during WWDC they will have a like item about it on a slide and that’ll be it. They will continue to have features that RCS doesn’t support, and they won’t work outside of apples ecosystem.

The RCS standard, not Google’s implementation. There are still going to be iMessage features that won’t work.

Exactly. I think you’d have to go back to pre-Hitler to get any sort of major change, but then the butterfly effect comes into play heavily. What does Europe look like if Germany never escapes the grasps of their quite terrible post-WWI restrictions? Maybe all we do is flip the script and Jews are treated like the Palestinians but still in Germany? There’s no way of knowing.

I agree that it’s all awful. I don’t think there is a solution that leaves everyone happy and safe and that’s just the reality of life.

I don’t think it’s healthy to be an absolutist about just about anything. The unattended consequences start to outnumber your ideals. If Israel hadn’t done after Hamas, Hamas would be empowered to keep doing it. The net effect would be more Israelis killed. Who knows, they may have been invaded by one of the several neighboring countries that would like nothing more than to destroy the country.

I think Ukraine is a better example though. I can’t fathom telling them they should try to get along with Russia. There’s the idea of being anti-war in general, and then there’s allowing a foreign aggressor to come in and take your country.

Israel has Nukes. Desperate people with Nukes is not a situation we want to reach. It’s so much more complicated then people are willing to admit.

Came out where?

As you get older you learn that things are never black or white, and everything is grey. Global politics are complicated. The world is a giant chess board and Gaza is a pawn.

I’ve heard arguments that Israel should have essentially done nothing if they were good guys, but not retaliating sends a message to those funding Hamas that they should do it again.

Making matters worse, they are surrounded by people that constantly advocate for their eradication, they’ve already experienced such an event in their history, so to say they are more sensitive to it than other groups may be an understatement.

This was their 9/11. And back then the vast majority of Americans wanted to retaliate against Al Qaeda.

And to clarify further there is no “peace” between Israel and would be Palestine. You’re talking about 1 piece of land that three different religions have ancient ties to, with little desire to coexist on it. Chalk it up to just another failure of western powers dividing up the Middle East after WWII.

Short of some scenario where they can emigrate to Egypt or something, I don’t know what the answer is. They’re all bad options.
