    Eh, if you have the money, it’s probably fine.

    My current weird things:

    • Switched from my normal time zone to UTC on all my clocks.
    • Chose to study Esperanto instead of a more practical language because of its past of hopefulness
    • Plan on switching to a 13-month calendar in the future (is going to require modifying the opensource calendar I use to allow the change)
    • Switched to barefoot shoes not for health but the diminished cost in materials.
    • changed my keyboard to a dactyl manuform for the hell of it.
    • changed my keyboard scheme to Dvorak now.
    • changed my videogame control scheme from wasd to dcxf to accommodate the keyboard (in Dvorak that’s exku).

    We’re all alittle eccentric. Some of us more than others.

    I agree for the most part. I would like to point out that fish farms are actually very damaging to the ecosystems that they sit in. The excrement ends up dropping down in single locations, burying the seafloor in it. IIRC, this often leads to the oxygen levels in the water dropping, which further kills off the surrounding aquatic life.

    EDIT: more context

    For those wondering, the AI singularity is a concept in which an AI becomes intelligent enough to improve its own intelligence and does so. The idea is that it continually improves itself over and over until it reaches the highest level of intelligence possible.

    It is a potential Deus Ex Machina scenario - a God from a machine.

    Edit: to be clear, this is not a scientific idea, it’s not really proveable, falsifiable, or even testable in any straightforward fashion. It’s mostly a philosophical thought experiment. A hypothetical.

    Would this not disqualify any mixed color? We only have receptors for three colors, and if we’re arguing that purple isn’t a color because it’s actually two mixed together, that should also mean colors like orange, yellow, cyan, magenta, atc are also not colors by that definition right?
