I'm tinkering with building software _around_ roam, to get some useful-to-me functionality.

Roam doesn't allow for embedding in other webpages, as a security feature. Is there a workaround that would let me do something like this?

It doesn't need to be web-based. Opening roam in a desktop app wrapper would also work for me.

My impression of 1950s America, from news reels and ads, is that it was markedly more conformist than today.

All the men wear suits and hats?

I get the vibe that there's high levels of agreement about prestige hierarchies (eg everyone treats doctors with regard).
There's much more uniform adherence to (eg gendered) social roles?

Is that impression correct? Am I just noticing some dimensions of conformity and missing others?
Why do I have this impression?

Interestingly, this gives me a whole different sense of "virtue".

I value being virtuous for its own sake, as something like an aesthetic judgement.
But there's a different way, which is more consequentialist: you just want "straightforward" desirable things like power and respect and sex and happiness, and so you do the things that get you those things.
Virtue doesn't have to be a moral position at all, any more than something mundane, like careful accounting. It's just the stuff that tends to work for getting the things that people want.

I'm thinking about if I was old and cognitively impaired, knowing that I would die in less than 10 years.
But this would be easy for me. I'm signed up for cryonics. I'd probably already be in suspension if I was loosing track of sentences.

...unless maybe I had grandkids or something, and they were bringing me joy everyday. Maybe that would be a reason to stick around?
But even that would be a willing choice. I would weigh the options and DECIDE to take a few years of my mind and body falling apart because it's worth it to spend time with people I love.

I think this view of society comes from a human egalitarian impulse, in two ways.
1) Society is stratified. Some people are in fact much better off and afforded real privileges and opportunities that others have less access to. Those privileges are an existence proof that "society" can be like a beneficent parent to at least some people.
Seeing that, one might ask, why them and not us?

So it seems like one way that the world could go is:

- China develops a domestic semiconductor fab industry that's not at the cutting edge, but close, so that it's less dependent on Taiwan's TSMC
- China invades Taiwan, destroying TSMC, ending up with a compute advantage...
...over.the US which translates into a military advantage

- (which might or might not actually be leveraged in a hot war).
I could imagine China building a competent domestic chip industry. China seems more determined to do that than the US is.

So, my short summary of planet earth is 1) we're building superintelligence without knowing what we're doing and 2) we're torturing ~100 billion non-human animals every single moment.

The moral scale of those things is so large as to dwarf pretty much everything else.
There are a few other things that matter, but mostly because they impact one of those two things.

But I think maybe I should be seriously considering that training / running ML models is painful, as a third thing on the list?
I don't think it's remotely comparable to factory farming in terms of scale of suffering yet. But it's hard to tell when we'll cross that line, because it's hard to compare them with brains.
