There would be, if it was any less black and white. Show something worth discussing and people would jump at that conversation.

Given that they’re doesn’t seen to be much coming up in that vein, there’s no room. Room would be made of there was something to make room for.

I’ve said this for years, but not about technology. Just a complete worldwide ban.

Provide yellow pages type of thing you can look up businesses in, companies can “advertise” on their entry, with a separate resource to look up information and data about them.

Throw in word of mouth, and that’s it. Free market determines everything else. Also, no logos on any product. The products can’t become the advertisement either.

But if take this rule back to like the (19)00s, so we just head off radio and TV commercials before the get go.

Maybe this prevents capitalism from becoming what it is in the first place. The main thing is presenting objective facts alongside the ads, so people don’t just buy something because “it said it was the best”. (Maybe that could extend to preventing people from believing something because “it said it was true” as well >_>)

Looks like you’re the one without understanding.

Even if I grant that there’s a few super helpful uses that are good for humanity (and I don’t grant that at all), it’s still actively harmful to the other 99.3% of us.

Unless you’re saying it can end cancer, keep us young forever, provide literally limitless energy, and instantaneous networking, all while giving us potential to explore the universe, then it’s still not worth what it’s costing us RIGHT NOW.

Until you can make it do any of that without being owned or pushed by CEOs for money, then it will never be worth it.

Sure it could be useful if it didn’t cost anything and did everything, but that’s about as far as I believe it.

It should stay in the research and theory phase until it’s perfect. And it never will be, hence most people attitudes on it. No. 00000001% change of finding a good execution of a use is worth what it is costing us to try out.
