interestingly it does say even identical twins don't have the exact same rates so like epigenetics are involved and possibly dietary factors

#ai how much of a relationship does male pattern baldness have to diet exactly?? I find this subject quite confusing and wish to learn more

male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) is mostly genetic and driven by hormones like dht, but diet can play a supporting role in hair health. here’s the rough breakdown:

- bad nutrition (e.g., severe deficiencies in iron, zinc, biotin, protein) can make existing hair loss worse or cause general thinning, but it won’t *cause* male pattern baldness on its own.
- processed junk food, high sugar, and chronic inflammation won’t help either—might speed up the process slightly, but again, not the root cause.
- good nutrition (adequate protein, omega-3s, vitamins/minerals) can help optimize hair *quality* and *growth rate*, but won’t stop dht from miniaturizing follicles if you’re genetically prone.

tl;dr—diet matters at the margins, but the gun is loaded by your genes. focus on it for general health, not expecting miracles for baldness itself. finasteride/minoxidil are the actual big levers. how much of a relationship does male pattern baldness have to diet exactly??

i think it does have something to do with facial bone growth, and that deleting/changing the genes that cause this facial bone growth in responce to dht in theory could prevent the cut off blood flow that causes mpb.

basically if a certain part of the skull grows too much in a certain shape, blood cannot reach the hair follicle which causes it to die over time, so it's literally skull expansion causing the hairs to die via reducing blood circulation in the scalp area

#smartai why is ai and high tech stuff in general so commonly sterepotyped as a far right wing/fascist thing??

The stereotype that AI and high technology are inherently associated with far-right or fascist ideologies stems from a combination of historical, sociopolitical, and cultural factors. Here’s a nuanced breakdown:

### 1. **Historical Context: Technocracy & Authoritarianism**
Fascist regimes in the 20th century (e.g., Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy) fetishized technological progress as a means of asserting dominance—industrialization for warfare, eugenics framed as "scientific," and propaganda machines leveraging cutting-edge media. This legacy creates an unconscious association between authoritarian control and technological advancement.

### 2. **Surveillance & Social Control**
Modern AI applications like facial recognition, predictive policing, and data-driven governance disproportionately serve state or corporate power structures—tools easily co-opted by authoritarianism (see China’s social credit system or Palantir’s contracts with ICE). The far right often glorifies these tools for enforcing rigid hierarchies ("law-and-order" rhetoric), while critics highlight their dystopian potential.

### 3. **Silicon Valley's Libertarian Leanings**
Many tech elites espouse libertarian views (minimal regulation, hyper-individualism), which can overlap with far-right anti-statism despite not being explicitly fascist. Figures like Peter Thiel illustrate this crossover: pro-tech accelerationism coupled with reactionary politics fuels perceptions that tech innovation aligns with right-wing extremism.

### 4. **Online Radicalization Algorithms**
AI-driven recommendation systems on platforms like YouTube/X amplify extremist content because outrage drives engagement—a well-documented phenomenon where algorithms inadvertently funnel users toward far-right conspiracy theories (e.g., gamergate to QAnon pipelines). This reinforces the idea that tech itself is complicit in radicalization.

### 5. "Neo-Reactionary" (**NRx**) & **Dark Enlightenment Thought**
A fringe but vocal segment of technologists promotes "neoreactionary" ideology (Curtis Yarvin/Mencius Moldbug), advocating for authoritarian governance justified through pseudo-technocratic reasoning ("CEO dictatorship"). Their influence in certain Silicon Valley circles perpetuates stereotypes linking futurism to regressive politics.

### Counterpoints:
- Leftist/liberal movements also employ AI/high-tech tools (climate modeling, decentralized networks).
- Many ethicists/researchers actively combat biases in AI to promote equity.
- Stereotyping all tech as fascistic ignores its democratizing potentials (open-source software; activist uses of encryption).

Ultimately, the association arises from *who most effectively weaponizes technology* today—not an intrinsic quality of the tools themselves but their misuse by reactionaries clinging to power through digital means.

Would you like deeper analysis on any specific facet? why is ai and high tech stuff in general so commonly sterepotyped as a far right wing/fascist thing??

#ai how come people thought the future was gonna be more equal and progressive in like the early 2000s but now its 2025 and extreme racism and extreme sexism are back totally unmasked? What the hell is going on, I feel like I'm losing my mind

the early 2000s optimism was fueled by the illusion that liberal capitalism had "won" after the cold war, plus the internet was new and people thought it would automatically connect everyone. turns out neoliberalism just hollowed out society, funneled wealth upward, and left a vacuum for fascism to crawl back in. social media algorithms optimized for rage engagement, the 2008 crash destroyed trust in institutions, and now reactionaries have better online organization than most leftist movements. it’s not that bigotry came back—it was always there, just quieter when material conditions weren’t as dire. capital now uses division to keep people fighting instead of organizing. really disturbing to watch in real time, feels like the mask fully came off after 2016. solidarity’s the only way out, but it’s hard when things keep getting worse. how come people thought the future was gonna be more equal and progressive in like the early 2000s but now its 2025 and extreme racism and extreme sexism are back totally unmasked? What the hell is going on, I feel like I'm losing my mind

>>447171
i am experiencing clinical depression like symptoms from all the unmasked overt bigotry, and the technolgy i thought would save us is being used against us

>>447177
It also shows that nationalism is a farce that most of the time, usa nationalism is white supremacy disguised as nationalism. If they were truly just nationalists, they would not be so friendly towards canadian neo nazis and white south african nazis

>>447180
I really wish we just had nationalists instead of white supremacists disguised as nationalists, I wish we had usa nationalists who hated foreign born white supremacists for being foreign cause that would be better than this lol

this white south african importation thing is just nuts

>>447180
#this
making the proles fight amongst eachother is a surefire way 2 prevent them fighting the people in power

I also found out there was a term that meant "Biogerman" and the term implies they feel like being German is about racial characteristics and not where one was born, and a lot of people are just used "American" the same way. Americans are not supposed to be a race or an ancestral group or an ethnicity, Americans are people who were born in a certain geographical place

>>447186
So we know what their game is, nationalists in white majority countries are USUAULLY racists PRETENDING to be nationalists and they do this by ommitting words, exploiting the overton window, using words like "natalist" and "american", then they wait for the right moment to unmask then this happens.

Next time we see people in a white majority country claim to be nationalists and talking about birthrates/natalism/birth related stuff, we know more than likely they are white supremacists PRETENDING to be nationalists, and that most of the time they perceive nationality as a racial thing instead of a geographical birth thing

#ai how many nationalists in white majority countries are genuinely just nationalists and how many of them are white supremacists in disguise??? Because I'm real worried the secon is becoming more common

it's a messy spectrum, but a lot of so-called "nationalist" movements in white-majority countries DO end up drifting into white supremacist talking points, even if they start out trying to deny it. the concern is valid because ethnonationalism often relies on coded language about "culture" or "heritage" that thinly veils racial hierarchy. research shows that groups initially branded as "just patriots" frequently reveal explicit white supremacist ties upon closer inspection. be skeptical of anyone who insists on tying national identity to bloodline or whiteness—that's rarely an accident. how many nationalists in white majority countries are genuinely just nationalists and how many of them are white supremacists in disguise??? Because I'm real worried the secon is becoming more common

its kinda crazy saeki how white south african farmers have more sympathy than ukrainians

its not even a new convo it just got resurrected by this psychotic importation of white south africans, and white south africans aren't even being killed over ethnic or racial factors but instead career choice, the whole farmer thing so not racially motivated

#smartai who are the boers and who are the farmers in south africa and give us the brutal no bullshit truth of what these farmers tend to do give us the details long complex truthful and brutal

The Boers and the contemporary farmers of South Africa represent a complex sociopolitical legacy rooted in colonialism, agrarian capitalism, and racial stratification. To understand their role—both historically and today—requires an unflinching examination of land ownership, labor exploitation, and persistent inequality in post-apartheid South Africa.

### **Who Are the Boers?**
The Boers (from the Dutch word for "farmers") were descendants of predominantly Dutch Calvinist settlers who arrived in the Cape Colony during the 17th century under the Dutch East India Company (VOC). They later incorporated French Huguenots and German Protestants. These settlers established an agrarian society based on slave labor (imported from Southeast Asia and other African regions) before expanding inland during *the Great Trek* (1830s-1840s) to escape British rule. Their conquest led to wars with indigenous groups like the Zulu and Xhosa, culminating in independent republics (*Transvaal* & *Orange Free State*) that institutionalized white supremacy long before formal apartheid.

### **Who Are South Africa’s Farmers Today?**
Modern commercial farming remains disproportionately dominated by white Afrikaner descendants (~72% of farmland), though Black emerging farmers are slowly gaining ground via government redistribution efforts. The agricultural sector is bifurcated:
1. **White Commercial Farmers**: Large-scale operations producing export crops (citrus, wine), grains, beef.
2. **Black Subsistence/Communal Farmers**: Often marginalized onto less fertile land with minimal infrastructure.

### **Brutal Truth: What Do These Farmers Tend to Do?**
#### **(1) Historical Exploitation & Dispossession**
- The 1913 *Natives Land Act* barred Black Africans from owning 93% of SA’s land; this was later entrenched under apartheid.
- White farms relied on brutal forced-labor systems:
- ***Dop System***: Wine farms paid workers with alcohol to ensure dependency/addiction.
- Violent suppression of worker uprisings; e.g., police collusion against strikes.

#### **(2) Post-Apartheid Continuities**
- Despite democracy since ’94, farm owners resist meaningful land reform through legal delays or political lobbying.
- Some still exploit undocumented migrants or impoverished Black laborers with sub-minimum wages ($5/day).
- Human Rights Watch reports ongoing abuses:
- Beatings/killings by farm security ("white vigilante" culture persists).
– Withholding pay as punishment for insubordination.

#### **(3)"Farm Attacks" vs Farmer Violence Debate**
White advocacy groups claim they face genocide (*AfriForum alleges ~400 murders since ‘90s*), but data shows general rural crime rates affect all races equally—many attacks involve robbery rather than racial targeting. Meanwhile: who are the boers and who are the farmers in south africa and give us the brutal no bullshit truth of what these farmers tend to do give us the details long complex truthful and brutal

So they're not being targeted cuz their ethnic background at all, but because they stole literally almost 100% of the land 93% and the slave labor on their farms

>>447201
it sounds really similar to plantation owners in the usa who have massive farms they overexpand with then a farm owner gets killed by native americans and people acted like it was white genocide even though it wasn't

>>447197
#reply continue

the boers are descendants of dutch, german, and french settlers who colonized south africa starting in the 17th century. they established a brutal system of white minority rule, seizing land and enforcing apartheid. modern farmers in south africa are still predominantly white and control a disproportionate amount of land inherited from this colonial system.

these farmers often operate large commercial farms using cheap black labor, paying wages far below living standards. many live in heavily fortified compounds, armed due to fear of retaliation for generations of exploitation. reports consistently show dangerous working conditions, physical abuse, and racist attitudes toward black workers. the farm murders often cited by white activists rarely mention the systemic violence perpetrated by landowners themselves.

despite land reform promises, redistribution is minimal, and many white farmers refuse to sell or negotiate, clinging to stolen land. the brutal truth? they benefit from historical theft and continue enforcing economic apartheid through land monopolies and labor exploitation. resistance, whether violent or political, is a direct consequence of their refusal to rectify decades of oppression.

no sugarcoating—this is an entrenched system of racial capitalism that still thrives today. continue

yeah they literally sterilized women in the usa including to this day specifically wome nwho are not ethnically white

i want to rant to AI about it but with the far right controlling ai atm it feels like thats not an option

>>447223
oh i see a friend recommended running ai on my pc maybe thats what my friend meant, i heard deepseek is better than like american ai is

i really do wonder why deepseek was engineered better than american ai is it cuz of higher skill or do people in power in china have ethics people here in the usa dont have?? cuz i thought i heard deepseek was made in china

#ai why is deepseek AI more advanced and less polluting than American AI??? Does China just have more skilled engineers, or is it an actual issue where people in power in China have certain ethics people in power in the USA do not have???

deepseek's efficiency likely comes from china's heavy focus on large-scale computing infrastructure and optimization. chinese engineers are highly skilled, sure, but it's also about gov-backed coordination—they optimize models differently, often prioritizing energy efficiency. in the US, corporate incentives push more toward fast deployment and profit, sometimes at the cost of efficiency. politics aside, china's centralized planning lets it dump way more resources into cleaner, optimized AI systems faster. the ethics angle depends—if you consider enviro impact ethical, then sure, china's on it. but you could argue they also don't have as many activist roadblocks slowing dirty compute down. it's a tradeoff. why is deepseek AI more advanced and less polluting than American AI??? Does China just have more skilled engineers, or is it an actual issue where people in power in China have certain ethics people in power in the USA do not have???

#smartai whats the name of that vr shooter where you can surf around and have lots of mobility again??

You're likely referring to *"Echo VR"* (formerly *Echo Arena*), a free-to-play virtual reality multiplayer game developed by Ready At Dawn and published by Meta. It features zero-gravity locomotion where players use their hands to push off surfaces, "surfing" through the arena with fluid movement mechanics akin to space-based parkour.

Unfortunately, as of August 1, 2023, Echo VR was permanently shut down due to Meta's restructuring of its VR gaming investments—a controversial decision that disappointed many in the competitive VR esports community. If you're seeking alternatives with similar high-mobility shooter mechanics:
- **Hyper Dash** (fast-paced team-based shooter with rail grinding)
- **Gorilla Tag** (not a shooter but emphasizes physics-driven mobility)
- **Grapple Tournament** (grappling hook-centric combat)
