Death is only scary in hindsight, when it finally embraces you you wont want to cling on to whatever this is.

This is a spiritual interpretations and should be understood in an agnostic context.

I never specified correctly read data.

I don't care weather they read it by microwave the tape and provide me a transcript of chef and dinner quest first reactions to it. Or if that ends up actually useful. But its interesting to know wether or not specific data is at all requestable.

When it comes to things that are deemed public, all the information around it should be too, regardless of intend or use.

In essence, everything is information, it would be a mistake to discriminate on perceived value because we never know what future science can accomplish or what specific aspiration someone may follow.

Practical Example: While its reasonable that most people assume The text of the Declaration of Independence is what is important. That is not the case if you happen to do a historical study of hemp genetics and want to learn what strain of the plant was used for the declaration.

An officia office should to my opinion put as much effort into being helpful against requests of both kind.

So its the citizen that has to go to court over it, shame.

I still propose that in cases like the above tape we should try and request any information about it as possible.

What are its exact dimensions?

From what materials is the tape build? Can we get a description of its smell?

Any text of markings on it or the box/closet it is stored in?

What facility is the tape housed?

Is there a record of who has previously seen or borrowed it?

At some point someone may actually get something useful they can start tracking with.

Who determines whats reasonable?

What if i claim i can read a sound and a video recording of the tape rolling in HD

In the quest for preservation of information can you do to much?

In that case cant we request the raw data in another format? I dont care about the end result if i can make em run trough hoops to comply

Nowadays the king is more a costly ceremonial position but i can imagine back then no one dared say no to their monarchs whims.

I suppose that's a good theory, a lot probably has to do with our own habits of compartmentalizing time. "nearly half passed" feels weird to say for what i perceive as the second mark of a 6 long cycle or almost the third mark. Grouping minutes per 10 is very decimal system, i think i learned fractions together with clock-faces in second grade so you had to learn both at the same time while digital notations just clicked and translated better to the clock based but still decimal math questions.

When you get to minutes i am picking digital as the clear biased winner based on viewing angles in bad clock design alone, to many minutes have been wasted trying to figure them out.

As a millennial i can read analoge time and i do love the look of mechanical clockwork. But whenever i actually have to read time on them i get this carsick feeling. I do not like interpreting it.

Someone who grew up on phones has digital time in their pocket at all times. There is zero reinforcement outside school teachings for such.

Answering that question comes with a nobel price attached i presume.

What we know is this:

They are made during roman times, They are found wherever the roman empire stretched and there not considered very rare

Thats about it.

The notable theories are

• as a weird currency

• well known blacksmith “exam”

• for knitting, apparently it has been demonstrated that you can use them to knit in practice but the art of knitting is thought to originate much later in history.

My money is now on wig building tools. As a spinoff to the common knitting one.

So wigs, not mittens.

Algoritmes prey on our flaws and weaknesses, this is surprising to no one anno 2024 though.

That doesn’t suddenly make everyone immune though. The attention grip is super powerful.

That’s a rather fresh opinion with lack of better words. I cant say i agree but i am glad i asked, thanks.

Personally i feel conflicted about the morality of taking away freedoms. This is for both criminal and state.

Obviously some people have done crimes that destroyed any notion of mental freedom in their victims and it doesn't feel just to allow those people to operate, but i acknowledge we are tapping into the same wrong “take away another freedoms” Its no avadada-Kedavra or imperio + rape, but its still an imperials curse nonetheless.

What i eventually settled on is that we have no choice then remove the freedom of clearly dangerous individuals. With those that have a path to redemption, basic human flaws are often fixable so we should go all in on those.

But for those that crossed the impossible to draw proverbial red line that redemption is no longer possible.

Our only single concern with them is their removal to keep everyone else safe. Technically that means putting them on their own self sufficient luxury island would be adequate as an ethical solution, we adress the single concern with no further harm but its not a very sensible idea in our economic context and i wouldn’t support it (give me the island instead). A walled facility providing basic needs will do as the best we can honestly offer… we should do more for homeless, partly unrelated sorry.

The easiest, most efficient way to remove them permanently is of course death. But then we do lower ourselves to take away all freedoms, knowing we could succeed the main tasks more ethically, shouldn’t we?

I absolutely understand your perspective of punishment but personally i feel nothing for a person who cannot reach or interact with anyone getting punished. Punishment to me requires reason like eventually growth.

What i eventually settled on is permanent jail, naturally being provided with just the basics we can economically spare and then provide the freedom for the detained to chose for death. And i feel many in this situation, with no hope of shortening of sentence or pardon would chose to die.

Providing the most clean/efficient way to remove monster from society. In personal theory.

Factual Practice is this is an ugly gritty topic with no easy answers.
