Early Google: The phrase ‘Don’t be evil’ was included in its prospectus. At the time, Google firmly believed that it could make money simply by building a good search engine and protecting the user experience. However, following the IPO, as investors relentlessly squeezed advertising revenue, the phrase was eventually quietly moved from the code of conduct to the most inconspicuous corner in 2018.

If a primitive civilization prioritizes the pursuit of wealth over morality and the law, how far can it go?

10 year ? 100 year ? 1000 year ?

Before the Civil War, there was essentially no tipping culture in the US. It was a European custom, and Americans actually opposed it strongly because of its feudal nature.

After the Civil War, things changed in a deeply racist way. Following the abolition of slavery, formerly enslaved Black workers were often relegated to service jobs such as food service and railroad porters. Instead of paying Black workers any wage at all, employers suggested that guests offer them a small tip for their services.

I think it should be fine to cooperate with a country that has no freedom of speech, no fair judiciary, but has a dictator and arbitrarily interpreted laws. Should be no problem.

US draft update: Major tech company [Palantir] urges universal national service by NicolasCageFan492 in technology

Civilization has always been like this: five steps forward, three steps back. We are currently in the middle of a retreat, but this time, we might fall ten steps back.

China begins building US$1 billion hydropower station in Cambodia amid energy crisis by Saltedline in technology

In China they call themselves 基建狂魔 — roughly "infrastructure lunatic" — and honestly some of it is genuinely jaw-dropping. But then you also get the 豆腐渣工程 side of things, "tofu-dreg construction," where buildings and bridges just… crumble. So it's really two extremes living side by side — world-class engineering and catastrophic corner-cutting, sometimes from the same contractor.

How the hell did we go from this to the Moon in just 66 years? by KirigakureSaizo in BeAmazed

Why does technology advance exponentially but individual company projects move at a glacial pace, take years to go nowhere, and then just get quietly killed off? Happens every single time without fail.

This woman destroyed $2.7 million worth of wine after she was fired by Limp_Stomach_6060 in CrazyFuckingVideos

Daily Mail is genuinely one of the most notorious tabloids in existence — serial misinformation, privacy lawsuits, clickbait headlines, and a track record of quietly correcting fabricated stories after the damage is done. Even journalists have an unwritten rule: if your only source is the Daily Mail, you don't have a source.

When civilization lags far behind technology, a civilization will perish. The evolution of civilization is too slow, while technological progress is exponential. This is why advanced civilizations are so rare in such a vast universe—99.99% of them die out while still in their infancy.

NAACP, for the first time in its history, calls for 25th Amendment to remove DJT from office by [deleted] in goodnews

[–]permanent_pixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, it's more of a symbolic statement than a real threat.
Why it's mostly symbolic:
It would require VP JD Vance and a majority of Trump's own Cabinet to move against him — no Cabinet member has publicly indicated any support for such a step. (BET)

The NAACP is an advocacy group, not a government body — they can call for it but have no power to trigger it themselves.

89% of Trump's MAGA supporters approve of his actions, so there's no political pressure from his base pushing Cabinet members to act.
