As a side note it's morbidly fascinating how effectively we have erased pre-European history in the Americas from existence, cutting down truly enormous swathes of people, cultures, and histories. To the point where even the descendants of the few survivors by and large do not remember them. Vast chunks of human history, not that distant relatively speaking, all but wiped from this Earth. It is quite possibly the most ruthless and total genocide mankind has ever achieved were it not for the Great Project we are all here to participate in

like most solutions to the climate apocalypse, it relies on something that doesn't actually exist. my equally plausible solution is to use time travel to kill all the white people before the industrial revolution begins, and then if i still exist i'll make any further corrections as needed.

There are a ton of interesting cultures that developed outside of European influence and they are all different and if you really care that their story has disappeared then take the time to learn a little of what we do know. E: not directed at you specifically, but y'know in general.

"Super intelligent AI" is just code for what the author would do if they were secretly given eco-dictator powers. It's kind of funny that we can totally imagine a world where we solve our problems but it's only okay if an "AI" does it.

Paradoxish posted:"Super intelligent AI" is just code for what the author would do if they were secretly given eco-dictator powers. The machine = god. A big part of society is trying to mess with the dials and set up the eternal governance machine to just feedback loop itself into running a perfect society based on economic incentives and poo poo. A stronger, smaller part is using that myth to harvest value or has gotten high on their own supply and also believes it.

As I keep saying, I know that early humans cared for disabled members of their group. My point is that modern medicine makes us better able to do so. My question was the proportion of disabled early humans that actually made it to adulthood.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:my equally plausible solution is to use time travel to kill all the white people before the industrial revolution begins, and then if i still exist i'll make any further corrections as needed. This results in an infinite recursion loop when another slightly different group of settler colonialists arise and genocide their slightly less colonialist neighbours, you go back in time to kill them too, then it happens again with a slightly different group, on and on ad infinitum. If our recent evolutionary history is at all deterministic then it implies that Darwinism and universal physical laws are fundamentally broken; the bad guys keep winning precisely *because* they're the bad guys. Skaffen-Amtiskaw posted:My plan is to create Samaritan and hope that Team Machine realise that humans are too dumb to not do an omnicide omnishambles of the planet without a machine god directing what we do, and not murder me. This requires that god-machines are smart enough to see how dumb we are, are smart enough to stop us, but are still dumb enough to want to keep us around as pets. That's scarier than a god-machine that only wants to murder me. Corsec has issued a correction as of 21:07 on Oct 1, 2023 |

My question was the proportion of disabled early humans that actually made it to adulthood. I gotta admit it was far lower than now. 1: life expectancy was far lower due to babies dying in general 2: there is just some things you absolutely cannot fix or treat without modern med, even if your society were more geared towards making sure everyone got the best most fair shot possible (which it surely is not now) but 3: some things are actually caused by current conditions that were not there in the olden times e: beat by this p much OIL PANIC posted:As long as we're asking questions, I'm curious about the rate of (developmental) disability prior to adulthood, and whether it differs drastically, eg. between 'early humans' and today. My naive assumption is that increased pollution (i.e., heavy metals, EDCs, microplastics, air pollutants (although that could go both ways, with changes in cooking/ heating fuels)) would lead to increased rates of developmental disabilities today.

There's a lot of very basic information I simply don't know about indigenous people of America, that is also murky and kind of hard to find. In contrast, I can find the equivalents in completely different parts of the world really easily. It's extremely disturbing.
