What would happen if the internet was "switched off" for a substantial amount of time?
Pretty much. I believe we've now entered the philosophical discussion of "Is technology moving TOO fast that we're not taking the time to understand the repercussions of it?" Which I think relates to the news of a recent scientist who quit over the advancement of AI and the associated dangers.- LadyS

What would happen if the internet was "switched off" for a substantial amount of time?
Is it astonishing though? Who said humans are intelligent (at least in the grand scheme sense)? Like you said before, in the past we've done some pretty dumb stuff like killing each other. We can't even live together peacefully and sustainably on the only planet we have. It's more about...- LadyS

What would happen if the internet was "switched off" for a substantial amount of time?
Let's bridge the gap here: yes humans would eventually adapt but not without severe repercussions and I think that's the point that was trying to be made. Not that we would all suddenly collapse and die without it. But that our daily lives are so intertwined in it, we take it for granted...- LadyS

What would happen if the internet was "switched off" for a substantial amount of time?
Along with others who suggested not to take the scenario lightly, I also imagined if the loss of internet happened during the pandemic.. education would have come to a halt if it weren't for remote schooling many wouldn't have been able to continue working either if it wasnt for remote work...- LadyS

Free will
My views are constantly changing but where I'm currently at is a No, not in the same way we think about free will. In the same way people think that animals don't have free will, I think we are still constricted to each of our preprogrammed genetics coupled with learned behaviors and past...- LadyS

HSP vs Asperger’s
Had to look it up and now I'm wondering if it is me too. Most of it resonates to my experiences. Interesting.- LadyS

Now to become better at being a woman?
That's weird, it's the opposite from my experience. Many of the tomboys I personally know are on the curvier/heavier end of the spectrum. This is actually the very first time I've heard that tomboys are supposed to be thin. This is how I know stereotypes are just what they mean.. only...- LadyS

Documentary Thread
I'm guessing they mean that currently humans haven't found a way to advance our technology without destroying our environment and ourselves. Also keeping in mind this is what the young children relayed.. young rural kids who didn't have the full knowledge and vocabulary to express what was...- LadyS

Documentary Thread
Just finished watching "Ariel Phenomenon". It's about the UFO incident in Zimbabwe in '94 in which dozens of school children encountered a UFO and supposed alien beings during recess. Worth a watch if you are a skeptic of UFOs and aliens in general. The warning message the beings communicated...- LadyS

Lack Of Confidence
I feel like this has become pretty common with everyone, even NTs. They just appear confident because they don't have the same neurological setbacks we do being an NT world it's just easier for them to navigate. It literally has become a "fake it 'til you make it" type of culture. So many are...- LadyS

People's I.Q
I think the controversy here lies less with someone who shares that they have a high IQ and academic intelligence (which is great, good for you) but the condescending tone that others who don't share the same traits are being compared to "gorillas" and shouldn't be wasted time on to communicate...- LadyS

Five items your fridge must have.....
This one's a hard one since I don't repeatedly eat the same things. But maybe the stuff I use the most includes rice, cheese, tomatoes, some sort of lentil or beans, and Coke ;) -
