  • How are the non-capitalist societies doing in this front? I don’t mean uncontacted indigenous tribes that are too small to make a difference. I mean large nations of millions of people that function with non-capitalist economies.

    If we narrow down to only the countries who have successfully implemented democratically controlled production, what is their carbon footprint like? Then we can extrapolate from those model nations to determine how it would impact the globe as a whole.


  • The researchers used extracted human molars as an ex vivo model, first etching their enamel or dentine surfaces with acid to mimic different stages of tooth erosion. They then applied a single coating of the biomimetic elastin-like recombinamer (ELR) gel and let it dry. Finally, the teeth were immersed in carefully controlled mineralization baths that replicated the ionic environment of saliva.

    Keep in mind this hasn’t been shown to actually help teeth in someone’s mouth.

















  • What you’re really describing sounds like a deeper fear: that AI might absorb your creativity - your decisions, your refinements, your “style” - without permission. That’s a valid and serious cultural concern.

    If models are trained on massive amounts of human creative work (often scraped from the web), then yes - society faces a collective version of this “soul stealing,” where human creativity feeds a machine that imitates it. The ethical debate is still ongoing, and new laws and technical standards are emerging to address it (e.g., data provenance, opt-out tags, content authenticity).
