Finally X figured out I'm in Canada.
After I was back from Mexico, it insisted I'm still in Mexico for ~ 2 weeks.

Alberta referendum.
I'm not arguing option 2 has a good chance to win. Most likely option 1 win.
My argument is that if many vote for option 2, it will give Alberta more laverage in negotiations with Ottawa.
i.e.
30% vote for option 2 is better than 20%.

Existential risk (x-risk) is the risk of human extinction or the permanent, irreversible collapse of humanity’s long-term potential.
The concept has become especially prominent in AI discussions, where the probability that advanced AI causes human extinction or an existential catastrophe is often called P(Doom).
The bigger picture:
Humanity faces existential risks from both natural and human-caused sources.
Natural risks include:
- Pandemics
- Killer asteroids
- Supervolcanoes
- Nearby supernovas
- Extreme solar events
- (Extremely low-probability) black-hole or other cosmic threats

Good morning.
What's new and exciting?

What do you think comes after socialism and capitalism?

Albertans—
If you vote for Option 1 in the referendum, and soon after, Carney will use Alberta’s oil as a weapon in the trade war with the US, causing economic devastation and massive job losses in our economy.
Will it be okay if I say “I told you so”?
Because I’m telling you now.
You can save this post.

Canada tarrifs question...
If the Democrats win in 2028. Do you think they will support good paying union jobs to moving from Ohio and Michigan back to Canada?

Albertans.
Can any of the Status Que peopke give any guarantee that if Option 1 wins, Carney will not see it as a permission to use Alberta's oil as a weapon in the trade war, as Jean Chrétien and Rob Ford want him to?
That will devastate our provincial economy. Massive job loss. Less budget for education and healthcare.
I hope for an honest answer.

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving.

We live in a very strange world.
This is Not the Bee.
Maybe some of the Woke Reich trolls on my feed are Chinese Marxists pretending to be Woke Reich...

Albertans: Option 1 is not “stay the course.”
It’s handing Ottawa the power to tax our oil and potentially kill 160,000 jobs in a trade war.
Option 2 is leverage. Vote it.

AI agents use crypto = crypto goes up.
Banks not set for agents and crypto will go down.
Sorry for being too ovious.

Albertans...
Stats Canada predict that if Carney will use Alberta's oil in the trade was with the US, 160,000 Albertans will lose their jobs.
Voting option 1 (stay) in the referendum, will give Carney that power to do just that.

Good morning fam.
How do you prepare yourself to the age of AI?

@grok How much on average each Albertan taxpayer pay a year for equalization? (directly and indirectly)

Alberta is becoming Heinlein’s Luna.
Harsh environment. Resource exporter under distant rules. Growing independence talk.
The AI twist: Mike gave the Loonies their edge. Alberta’s edge is gas + cold + data centers while others face blackouts and moratoriums.
TANSTAAFL. Build the compute or stay the colony.

The ICC is a globalist institution, that together with other globalists institutiins, if left unchecked, may lead to a totalitarian global government.
It's an existential risk to our civilization.
Humanity will be better off by having an echosystem multiple independent entities, like states and city states.
