  • I think the problem is less AI and more that we have loaded more and more cognitive tasks onto healthcare staff. Yes, they could manually work it out, given the time but they seek a short cut as they have so many other tasks.

    A lot of those that hate AI thibknits making us stupider. I think its more a problem that we are all now required to have specialised knowledge of our role to a higher degree which pushes out more general knowledge. Then AI is seen as a useful tool to fill that gap or speed upthat gap.

    The problem is not AI. The problem is AI is being used inappropriately. We should look at why, as well as trying to stop it. Doctors and nurses use lots of tricks and shortcuts to help calculate dosages for patients, based in heigjt, age, weight etc. It would be trivial(large trusted database of drugs and recommended dosages manually checked asose) to have a universal app that is not AI baser that does all that on any phone or computer. The problem.is it needs to be trusted, so not anyone could make one.

    They propose changing green party policy on energy to be more practical than idealist.

    When the green party is a minor party, being idealistic is more important. It helps to guide the policy of bigger parties to prevent losing votes to them. When they are bigger or wish to be involved in government, practical reasonable policy is more important.

    Regarding immigration, open borders can be the final ideal and that can be in a phased way. There is no problem with higher immigration if there are the resources to deal with it. In fact its a benefit for the host country and the immigrant, usually. Most economic migrants come seeking work not handouts. Most economic migrants work the jobs that locals don’t want to work. It does have a downward effect on wages, though.

    Like everything, gradual change to ideal policy is usually the best way forwards.





  • Yes, genetics likely plays a part. However, it would matter more about protein during early years, than average across the whole population. Once people are fully grown, it wouldn’t matter so much any more. American diets tend to be higher in fats and refined sugars, so,perhaps that makes a difference but emricans are also at the higher end of the table, despite having a more diverse population, including races that are stereotypically shorter.

    I live in Australia and I know that here they have to use different graphs for different races for babies for normal height and weight. The most common European descent population is shorter and less sticky than the Pacific Islander populations and taller and more stocky than the Asian population.



  • Hence their point about being the best of a bad bunch. Remember the people making decisions are people. A corporation has no soul and only seeks profit. People work for them and can make good decisions and be good people whomever they work for.

    There were good people that worked for the nazis. Unless you think the cleaner, for instance of the Nazi headquarters cleaned as a way to speak evil.

    However. I take your point. I just think that’s not what is the point of the discussion here and is no different to both sides being bad on politics. It lacks nuance.
