Such a waste of human effort.

Although this woman was authentically traumatized by the experience of living outside her box, I kind of feel sorry for her. Sorry she is so close minded to living and learning. Sorry she has been brainwashed to the extent that she can't function beyond her religious upbringing. and I feel bad for all those who have to endure her and her beliefs. Her convictions will go on to traumatize her children, and her children's children, and so many more generations to come.

Her physiologic internal belief system will control her until the day she dies, and she will never see any of it from within her bubble. Such a waste of human potential. She obviously has potential for strong convictions, and deep emotion that, I'm sure, could have been put to use in more productive ways in her life.

What a waste of human life. How does so much money and power land in the hands of a sack of shit?

uneducated opinion follows:

I'm sorry, but what am I supposed to be upset about? Lack of privacy on the internet? Facebook secretly gathering private information such as what beer I drank or when I went to bed? Will I really feel compelled to have 64bit encryption on photos of my family vacation to Wisconsin?

Let's be honest. Who in the world would give half a shit about the generally mundane lives/information shared on google or facebook beside marketing? If they're really collecting it, it must be the world's largest waste of human effort. I honestly doubt the government cares about my hair color, though I expect them to care if I were to do something illegal. That's the dividing line.

I would say the average facebook page has no value to 90% of people and I suspect that's the same for most.

Can someone please explain this better than the people in this video?

Meh, everyone involved in this video is a waste of humanity:
- the silly women for thinking they could slap a service employee
- the violent psychopath for thinking battery with a pipe was an appropriate response
- the annoying woman screaming
- the tool who videoed it
- me for watching it

@NetRunner, of course not. I think it's fair to say that the number of people willing to say, "fucking jaywalker needs to learn a lesson" are incredibly few if they exist at all, so I think we're treading in extreme absurdity land again.

I think involuntary manslaughter is a waste of human life as it is today. I don't think locking someone up for an accidental death is productive. First, it doesn't appropriately accommodate the damage party's family because the man behind bars cannot monetarily work off any debt he may owe to them. Secondly, his life is instantly wasted, he can no longer function as a productive member of society, and he becomes a tax burden.

Is that the way you think justice should work?

Again why are you driving your patrol car up a residential street at that speed. My kids could be playing on that street you fucking waste of humanity.

If the money wasted on human space flight was channeled into robots and telescopes, we would all be better off.

Where's the "this is a waste of human life" button? I think they left that out along with the horn and swear buttons.

russel bland is a waste of human life, fucking unfunny cunt.

Well, wars are fought over the most trivial of subjects. Most wars are fought over territories and how would you avoid them? Someone is always the aggressor.

You may be the best of pacifists, but if your neighbor has a gun and wants your house, then you won't stop him by saying "peace, brother".

" Look at the wars of the last century, all could have been prevented or avoided, and were all needless wastes of human life and resources."

How could they have been avoided? Do tell.

Pacifists may be smug & comfortable in their morally pure mythological universe, but are they really sure that they don't need the protection of messy things like war? Or do they assume they can conduct a non-messy war?

If you look at much of the history of war, there have been very few conflicts that were necessary for the continuation of a society. "Wars" have been based on territorial expansion, resource acquisition, national sovereignty, or ethnic/religious trifle, nothing that is truly a threat to any aggressor. Look at the wars of the last century, all could have been prevented or avoided, and were all needless wastes of human life and resources.

Pacifists may be unrealistically idealistic, but many of us can see what pointless wastes the wars of the past have been. They say if you don't learn from history you're doomed to repeat it, but it seems that regardless of the mistakes of the past, the leaders of the present seem incapable of learning from them.

Apart from how much I hate the elitist idea behind TED (a bunch of self-righteous losers decide who is "wonderful" and who isn't), many of the people they sham into attending actually give good talks. At least we vacuous wastes of humanity get a glimpse of this greatness via a postage-stamp-sized video.
Ranting aside, this is a great talk by a great author.


How big are the stamps over where you live?
