The reason this comes up is because I was reading Imp1 comments and replies to them and he’s mentioned multiple times before that he believes that the actual answer to a lot of this is making artificial wombs so that you can cut out women from making kids and relationships with women have to be about something else. That would mean that since women can't use their wombs as a bargaining tool, their intellect and personalities have to be what keeps a man interested, at least imo, and I can see why it would appeal to him, but are they even reasonable?
I haven't done the research myself and thought it would be more fun to have a discussion over it, but still, I’m just curious as to how the tech works if at all. I've seen things where the tech is being “suppressed” (hidden from the public like a lot of current tech we use today was during the Cold War, ala the internet), but is that true, or not? It's just genuinely an interesting topic to me.
I've worked with computers all my life.
I have personally had to dissuade people from thinking computers can solve all their problems because they see it as a magical black box, and they have no idea how the sausage is made or maintained.
The vast majority of software you interact with on a daily basis is a fucking shit show that doesn't meet with basic coding etiquette or good coding standards/compliance. Vast majority is software gore, or has huge vulnerabilities.
Old analog systems can normally be trusted more and are more reliable because:
Old analog systems relied on engineers to design physical redundancy in their systems and engineered them not to allow for certain failures at all. This required higher levels of planning and higher quality materials, because most of these systems were over-designed. My cast-iron sewing machine from 1903 still works like a charm.
Modern analog systems dealt with inflation by making cheaper quality goods and planned obsolescence, removing redundancy, and making specific product life-time analysis for a period of a few years so that it can serve it's purpose for a short time, due to the lack of value being given up by the consumer. My sewing machine from 1993 has broken several times, and it's cheap plastic has broken as well.
Modern digital systems are typically built by communists in China who have no regard for quality whatsoever, and the digital systems involved are made as quickly and cheaply as possible by scavenging both materials and code to produce billions of the same garbage so that massive Chinese conglomerates can make money off of the economy of scale. Why would I buy a modern sewing machine at this point?
