Let's all love Lain.

I got doxxed and they're threatening to release my full name unless I pay 0.5 BTC. What do?

I have created a rough draft of my desired civilization, i would appreciate it if you took the time to read it and give your opinion on my ideas, whether you completely disagree and think it is retarded or if you share similar opinions. Or if you just have criticisms and thoughts on how i could improve this. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1os49gDIL5adCAonPGcsdJsO9AaA1ATqhfpyV6oNOZDo/edit?usp=sharing

And is it realistic? Like, can a civilization function the way you imagine it? I'm just asking because I see problems with how the genre is often presented. You can put anything into a story since the actual dynamics of civilizations don't apply. I can write in a story that someone stuck a nail in everyone's eyes and that somehow made the world a more peaceful, happy, and prosperous place even though that's clearly not a realistic outcome of the action. Stories can represent a kind of predeterminism by tricking stupid people into thinking a trajectory for a civilization is a good idea and surrounding the smarter people with idiots demanding we take the civilizational route that worked in stories, even acting like the protagonist trying to bring about some change solely because they're presented as the hero in the story. I can tell you one thing, multinational states go into civil war, balkanize, or get genocided by invasion because they were too busy infighting and trying to gain an advantage on rival groups in the country by selling out to other nations to gain allies using whatever their country has to sell. So all these futurism projections about multinational empires don't seem realistic and the state of the world where a Han ethnostate rises and the multinational USA wallows in its own shit screaming about one national group in the country not treating another national group in the country equally, as if it didn't understand that that's why separate nations had separate governments in the first place, affirms that. So how do you imagine a cyberpunk future? Is that the future you want? Is it realistic?

Title gives my conclusion from empirical events I witnessed and inside info. PSP runs on the same circuit, but isn't the backdoor per se, which has been around for much longer. The same way AMD was able to change the crypto algorithms for the Zen chip they licensed to China, they can change how the CPU behaves at any system, even those already deployed. This can also be used to sabotage any program or computation, making BadBIOS vastly nastier than Stuxnet. American military made a grave mistake to partner with the morons of the Brazilian military, who are letting knowledge of this spread like a fire (and misusing it for petty profit and inside jobs to justify a police state). Israel, UK and France also have access, but are much more professional.

The finest sounds around from the Underground.

I've always fancied over this technology because having the ability to communicate with people in the local area without any subscription or watchful eyes would be pretty neat. Especially if we go in the SHTF or Brave New World direction. From what I've seen they are VHF modules (433 or 868MHz mainly) with low power (less than 1W) and a range of 500m to 10km. The transmission speed is too low for file transfer or voice but for plain text it could be really comfy, it is also a good way to get data from remote sensors without any cable or using the GSM network. Issues: - Powering the modules - Vandalism - RF Regulations - Proprietary modules and potential hijacking by the $0.10 army - The need for encryption - What firmware to use (meshtastic, or something else?) - Which modules to choose from (price, reliability, frequencies...) - Jamming and overcrowding if too many people shitpost on the network Anyone has experience with those modules?

Is there any ghost of a chance that quantum immortality,or boltzmannian reincarnation,etc..omega point, or ANY theory of post-portem survival,or death-never-happens model, is true? Im contemplating killing myself,but I want to be sure of what im doing. I read papers by atheists and naturalists defending a sort of personal, POV after-death sentience .I lurked EA and lesswrong,turingchurch, the Journal of Cosmology,etc. just give me the bare truth,my folks.
