I wasn’t talking about COVID, there’s another thread for that. Perhaps you could post things there yourself and argue with yourself about what you have posted?

Why wouldn't you pay attention to what someone has wrote on other subjects?

I would read each paper individually and critique it for the subject it is covering.
I wouldn’t blindly accept or dismiss, wholesale, his opinions or findings either way based on previous or subsequent publishing’s as that would be quite an ignorant approach.

If someone has bat-shit crazy theories on a number of subjects, the likelihood is that he’s bat-shit crazy, thereby tainting anything they write - assuming someone who writes a lot of bat-shit crazy stuff is rational because they write something that supports your views, is an "interesting" approach.
If one doesn’t take things in context, that would be quite an ignorant approach…

Re: Britain outside the EU
I've got no problems with people being bat shit crazy, as long as they don't start overloading my sensory reception areas with stuff my IQ can't handle.
If that happens, I simply move to a different life preserving module on a separate deck of the mothership

A dystopian future indeed but nothing to do with politics, thankfully it won't get to that extreme in my time.
Politics, Local Government etc, will possibly the only future employment, what happens to the rest of the population then? Allow them to starve to death?

I don't think it'll be that bad, vehicles will always need someone in the drivers seat in much the same way planes need a guy sat in the pilots seat, they need the accountability for insurance, driverless cars have already been responsible for killing pedestrians

Re: Britain outside the EU
hehe, we can send a driverless probe thousands of miles to land on a fast traveling rock in space, but delivering potatoes to the local Tesco requires the human touch

Liability . . the same as everything else, that when it starts to cost more than it's worth, it gets abandoned

We can also send a supply capsule to the ISS that will automatically dock while travelling at 17,150 miles per hour.

Good idea . .
'hello, I'd like to claim for a vehicle accident'
'certainly sir, are you the registered keeper of one of the vehicles involved?'
'err umm'

Not to mention the ethics side of a fully automated driverless vehicle.
I'm sure we've all seen/heard the scenario before
In a crash scenario, one of the following must occur
1. The driver is killed
2. A pedestrian is killed
3. The occupants of another vehicle are killed.
How does 'AI' make the decision as to who dies
