Last I heard this was because of overpopulation, making hunting more difficult.

The argument David Kipling made seems reasonable. Statistically the chance if there being almost no civilisations or the universe just teeming with life are the biggest. The parameters have to be tweaked just right for there being just a few civilizations in a galaxy. It’s not teeming with signals and chances of parameters being just right is low, so most probable is we being alone.
No officer, this is not a pirated movie. It’s generated by an AI model I created and trained with data from the internet and the fact that it’s 99% identical to an existing movie is irrelevant.
They’ll give it all the social interaction and wisdom scraped from YouTube clips.

Some precision here would be appreciated
It reminds me more of “The Road Not Taken”, by Harry Turtledove: https://youtu.be/aXhCX7lr2tM
Reminds me of the expression: “it’s easier to imagine the end of the world than to imagine the end of capitalism.”
The current system is indeed slowly ripped apart by its own internal contradictions, just as all other systems in the past did, but the new system is not there yet. The in-between is always a confusing time while people try to cling to the old system like Stockholm syndrome to their captors. It’s only going to get worse. I can’t say I have any signs of a viable new systems appearing. There have been attempts, not nothing that can stand up to that resistance you mentioned.
Many of the AI evangelists have at least sympathies with Accelerationism. Their whole idea is to rush to civilization collapse so it can be rebuild it in their image. What’s sacrificing a few billion people if trillions of transhumans can be engineered tomorrow, say the tech bros.
What I read is that religion was a way to codify habits for survival. Pork meat that spoils quickly in a dessert climate is a health hazard, but people ate it anyway, but when the old guy says it angers the gods the chances of obeying is a lot bigger. That kind of thing. Of course when people obey gods there are those that claim to speak for the gods.
Mom: I applaud your organizational skills. With that kind of performance we will expect you to be at breakfast at 7 AM sharp.
Humans have the need to kill everything bigger than us that doesn’t show the proper amount of respect.
It can’t be bargained with, it can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity! Or remorse or fear and it absolutely will not stop!.. ever… until you are dead!
Yeah, that’s humans for you

It’s basically guaranteed they use it against critical journalists, political opponents and activists right out of the gate. It’s what always happens when they get the ability to spy on citizens. And the real criminals move to unofficial encrypted platforms mostly out of reach of law enforcement.
That’s 0.001g equivalent for a flip and burn if anytime thinks this is The Expanse.
Except in this case it won’t be open and all profits go to the idea guy
Best comment ever was “It used to work like this but person at client demanded it work like that on this date” when the client complained it shouldn’t work like that.
