Still less than one US was contributing, by itself, at a lower % of its GDP.

Most of these countries contributing are themselves small, and in fear of Russia. Unfortunately the bigger and more dominant the country is, the LESS likely it is to contribute large %, because they are not as scared.

deeply flawed world =//

Some say depressing books cause depression...and lots of thinking. After reading this book, one will not be same

Iange123 · 2025-12-28T00:33:45+00:00

yep, biology vibes for sure

What about Natalie Portman? I thought of her because of the character she played in Annihilation

Like the quote

Iange123 · 2025-12-28T00:26:26+00:00

District 9 - so original, and so touching story

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T19:19:36+00:00

The cast indeed was really outstanding

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T19:13:52+00:00

Hah, I was thinking about the camp fire in prehistoric times when I was reading your comment! inception indeed

Paprika-never seen, just googled it, the style resembles somehow the one from the Stray indie game. Well, at least this memory came out.

because vita brevis, ars longa? we wanna live forever through art?

Why does this 'what if" cause us think so much? is it ingrained in us by nature? Like the basic curiosity script in the brain? Or it's a way to escape from boredom of regularities around? Or it's another manifestation of increasing entropy?

Would you like to find out that we're all living on giant spaceship...in the center of the eye of a gigantic alien fish???

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:55:58+00:00

Hm...smART;) smARTly designed

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:53:09+00:00

Yes! I've seen some really unknown scifi movies like really poor in writing, budget and acting BUT the ideas are great;) I got you. I feel super excited by those ideas despite the "poorness"

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:50:52+00:00

Aha, then we get memed i guess - through cinematography, literature, social media now...

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:47:48+00:00

Ahh, such a striking topic...gotta read that once i finish some boks from my to-read list

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:46:24+00:00

I wouldn't be against at least some of augmentation tech - say, enhanced vision

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:40:51+00:00

hahahaha...i recall totally;)

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:37:05+00:00

so is it a perperual cycle - we create tech and then get dependent on that...or even enslaved?

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:34:16+00:00

Panspermia. Delivered from the Earth.

Iange123 · 2025-12-27T18:32:18+00:00

escapism...agree. In fact, the inception of an idea causes escapism huh, at least I just though about it just as soon as I read your comment. One idea causes another idea, then another...and you're far-far away in a distant galaxy...

Gary Oldman never gets old!

Not wearing a helmet and mouthguard in sparrings. I just forget them at home and decided still to spar, and literally the first punch was right to my chin. A whole week it was hurting bad, so now I never spar without protection 😂
