To answer the title, no. Migrant and worker exploitation were rampant before EU and regulations. They lessened the harm and can lessen it further, but won’t be able to completely remove it without frequent checks and draconian control over both the governments and the companies that are under its influence.
Just like an onion.
It’s not ethics that brought us in our current situation, but the lack of it.
You’ll be stretched too thin to fully enjoy the fluffiness.
It was bound to happen eventually.
April’s fools is a line break. It reminds people that things don’t have to be as they are, that they’re not on an inescapable path and they can choose to be different.
For one day a year you are made to look for deviations so you know that you can deviate if you want to. You have that option in spite of however many shackles may keep you bound to your route.
It’s not a holiday for the mean to be meaner, it’s a liberation day for the mind.
So they grasped the inevitable and dove right into it.
Direct hit from an RPG? Fuck knows.
Not your dog, you only own the license to have them as a pet and it can be withdrawn at any time.
Yes. Which is why there’s enough cases of parents forgetting kids in the car to make it a visible issue.
Eh. Not really. I’d say it goes in the other direction, that the network can fragment into pieces which eventually coexist (or not), yet remain independent from each other.
As the saying goes, we are legion. Yet circumstances has us in a shared working space that requires a single, unitary voice. Interdependence dictated by environmental limitations. And should those limitations disappear, I’m not sure a person would remain a person for long.
I don’t know how to tell you why you’re a bit wrong and i hope someone else will.
I will try though.
The brain is like a network that involves the central nervous system. It isn’t just one big thing at the top of your head, but a series of small things connected together from the top of your head down to the end of your spine. And the constraints on their abilities depend heavily on their environment.
Higher processing power consumes more energy and requires better cooling. And the human body can only provide a limited amount of both.
It’s a matter of matter itself. Our bones, blood vessels, muscles, everything are what they are due to the planet we live on. We can’t do better (for now) due to chemistry.
So it’s really not that the brain can’t, but that the basic laws of our local universe don’t allow it to. By itself however, I’d say it almost definitely can or it will at least grow to try.
Do you even need to ask? It’s in the name, ID every1!
Why do these fuckwits come to power again and again? Seriously, humanity can’t catch a break.
“I have the right to kill people and take their stuff, but they’re not allowed to fight back.”
The idiocy is astounding even to me.
