The most valuable resource on this earth isn't gold, diamonds, or platinum, it's minds. With enough control over enough minds one can control the world, they can get all the gold, and oil they want.

On waydroid you need to do some hacky stuff. You need to root the VM, use ReZygisk to manage the root modules, flash the Play Integrity Fix Magisk module to spoof device properties, install TrickyStore, a module designed to spoof cryptographic hardware key attestation, Use Play Integrity Fork to force the VM to pass basic integrity checks. There's gennymotion which allows some apps to work.
It will be some ideal or another when one can choose a form. I do think as our technology increases our free will increases, as we're typically free / capable to do more than we did before. The extrapolation of that out to the extreme is to be like a deity. In a simulated space one could change form into whatever they desire any moment they desire it. I think if our minds had enough experience of that level of freedom we would calm down about things such as gender and sexuality. Similarly to wealth, when one can create empires and mountains of gold effortlessly it's difficult to assign boundaries of wealth and poverty. There's the idea that this is a simulation and we came to the "human experience" because we got tired of limitlessness. This reality with its risks and high stakes is more engaging, more thrilling, dare I say more fun.
Yes, but that's always the case. Reality has fundamentally constrained me, beyond that the will of others has constrained me. Of course I know you're speaking more to governments and systems of power than the experience of ancient people living in small tribes. In some form or fashion we are always constrained.
Double points if you're using something like waydroid or otherwise running android in a VM. Then you can screenshot from the host OS.
We mostly get three votes. We get to vote on how we spend our money, who we give it too. We can cast a ballot. We can vote through physical action.
It seems nearly everyone is second-guessing their dependence on oil. Nuclear and green energy along with EV transportation is a bit more forgiving to immediate shocks to global supply.
Lol makes sense. They say some of the greatest minds were quite messy people, so we have that to cling onto.
Hopefully, it would be unfortunate if we regress going forward. This next generation is giving me some doubts but we will see. It would be cool if we could get another global hippie peace movement going.
Yeah there's no "win" here for the US. My bet is the conflict goes on and on then goes cold and something else happens that grabs everyone's attention. The old slowly walk away and hope people's attention spans are short tactic. I've half suspected this to be a ploy to reroute shipping to Venezuela which is now like a US satellite state, particularly its oil wealth. Also to encourage the end of OPEC. My hope is they don't nuke them, that could quickly spiral into a really bad day for everyone.

Mad at Trump and frustrated with Democrats is like the motto of the past decade.
