I mean, our civilisation, which, because it is global, effectively embraces everyone on the planet. Many will survive, but many more will not, & many animal & plant species will be driven - are being driven - to extinction.
Britain, the UK, or whatever you call it, is an Orwellian construct, based on lies, deceit & a regime of rewards & intimidation. And so too is every so-called #NationState, including, & most importantly, the USA.
This is the truth. Either we face up to it, or we perish.
#BritishIdentity is now based solely on #BritishValues, many of which I do not share.

Most importantly, I do not share the British value that British nationhood is multi-racial. To deny the natural racial foundations of nationhood is, in my view, Orwellian.

Evolved human nature has a fatal tendency to admire "success" & POWER.
Alexander (the Great) has been admired throughout history, despite his role in the fall of Greek civilisation.
The tragedy is that Bill Gates, like many other wealthy philanthropists, & unlike Alexander of Macedonia, means well.
This is not something he would want to recognise, & none is so blind as they who will not see.
It lies in the nature of the STATE itself, which perverts & corrupts evolved human nature, so that instead of serving society (one's tribe) at large, it serves its elites, at the expense of society at large.
The biologists #RichardDawkins & #DavidAttenborough should see it, but clearly don't. https://t.co/0ShaX2S2Mj
#DavidAttenborough annoys me, because he's had an extremely privileged life at the expense of his own race & of our planet's biodiversity he has devoted much of his life to documenting.

He doesn't recognise this, of course, but means well, dissolving my annoyance into sadness. pic.twitter.com/ZrV9LTboTK
Naturally, they're all loath to recognise this.
Either we change them - quickly - or Western civilisation will fall in the further course of this present century.
To Britain's & America's credit, notwithstanding their essentially Orwellian nature, they allow us the freedoms to actually do this.
It's up to us.

Raise your hand if you\u2019ve lost a case despite having the law, facts, quality lawyering, and justice on your side.

Bail arguments, motions, oral arguments, hearings. Judges don’t know, follow, or care about the law. Prosecutors are willing to take advantage of it. And mandatory minimums, withheld evidence, & pretrial detention coerces people to plead before trial. When theres a jury. A shot.
But defenders still fight. And still win. Most times wins aren’t “Justice.” It’s power of repetition of argument in front of same judges. Introducing those in power to the people they oppress. Not just a RAP sheet or words on a page. Defenders make it harder to be brutal & cruel.
I worked as a public defender at an office as well resourced as any in the country. Social workers, team of investigators, a reentry team, support staff, specialist attorneys in immigration, housing, education, family. Relatively low caseloads (80-100). And yet still injustice.
Most think that balancing the scales of justice means more funding for defenders. Thats part of it. Enough a attorneys to actually be at bail hearings. Wrap around services to be able to help people trapped in the system end up better off in their communities. Lower caseloads.
Help! What precisely is "inductive bias"? Some ML researchers are in the opinion that the machine learning category of \u2018inductive biases\u2019 can allow us to build a causal understanding of the world. My Ladder of Causation says: "This is mathematically impossible". Who is right? 1/

I crucial step on the road towards AGI is a richer vocabulary for reasoning about inductive biases.
explores the apparent impedance mismatch between inductive biases and causal reasoning. But isn't the logical thinking required for good causal reasoning also not an inductive bias?
An inductive bias is what C.S. Peirce would call a habit. It is a habit of reasoning. Logical thinking is like a Platonic solid of the many kinds of heuristics that are discovered.
The kind of black and white logic that is found in digital computers is critical to the emergence of today's information economy. This of course is not the same logic that drives the general intelligence that lives in the same economy.

I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌

BREAKING: President Donald Trump has submitted his answers to questions from special counsel Robert Mueller
— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 20, 2018
Mueller's officially end his investigation all on his own and he's gonna say he found no evidence of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election.
Democrats & DNC Media are going to LITERALLY have nothing coherent to say in response to that.
Mueller's team was 100% partisan.
That's why it's brilliant. NOBODY will be able to claim this team of partisan Democrats didn't go the EXTRA 20 MILES looking for ANY evidence they could find of Trump campaign/Russian collusion during the 2016 election
They looked high.
They looked low.
They looked underneath every rock, behind every tree, into every bush.
And they found...NOTHING.
Those saying Mueller will file obstruction charges against Trump: laughable.
What documents did Trump tell the Mueller team it couldn't have? What witnesses were withheld and never interviewed?
THERE WEREN'T ANY.
Mueller got full 100% cooperation as the record will show.
