    Yeah, nuclear waste markings have actually given a lot of work to a lot of semioticians. It's a fascinating subject, really.
    Fricking Sebeok proposed a creation of a religion solely for the purpose of maintaining knowledge of the dangers associated with nuclear waste sites.
    The idea of using non-functional architecture seems really cool to me. The idea of figuring out how to make a place feel repulsive to people for thousands of years to come is fascinating.

        That is actually a good point, now that I think about it.
        But the problem is that the message must remain clear to cultures - maybe even different species - tens or hundreds of thousands of years in the future.
        And while so much of modern art is actually obsessed with being ugly, they rarely do it in a way that would be "timeless".

        But I think it is actually an unsolvable problem. The mere EXISTENCE of a mark will probably always invite the desire to fricking dig it out.

        I genuinely think that in the long term, it would be best to not mark the places at all and just bet on the low probability of it being discovered accidentally.

      > creation of a religion
      God I hate academics. What an immediately dumb proposal. "Let's make a religion that requires people genuinely believe in it in order to achieve its aim, but the belief in it is dependent on wider society collapsing to such a degree that universal understanding of the content disappears." You would have to lock people in a Truman show bubble around the site and start early, hoping even then that they accept the religion and never go investigating. Then keep that up for tens of thousands of years. All for what? So a few hundred people don't get radiation sickness?

      I bet the university think tank of israelites and undergrads felt so sophisticated pontificating on the world guardianship religion they would create as if they themselves were the arms of the minutes to midnight clock.

        Thank you for that nice and thick shower of insecurity.
        But the reason why they proposed religion is actually very simple:
        Religions have proven to be the most stable and reliable way to store and progatage knowledge in human history. In fact that is why they exist in the first place. 2/3rds of the planet still knows lessons and messages that were invented by proto-canaanite people around 4-7 thousands yeas B.C., and it is unlikely that those messages will be forgotten any time soon in the upcoming millenia. That is a fact.

        As for "for what" - the issue here is that that this shit is here to stay. So if it leaks and contaminates larger area (and we are produce quite a lot of this shit, so mishandling could contaminate a very large area), that area will stay contaminated for a very long time.
        And since the hypothetical future culture would not know what radiation is, they would have no clue what just happened.

        Thousands of miles of land contaminated for few centuries without people even knowing what's wrong could add up.

        And you really need to cope with the fact that academia exists in some healthier fashion, this is pretty fricking sad.

Because the truth is - those other posts are just obviously really fricking stupid. That is not a threat, that is a comfort to your little insecure brain.
                You aren't able to admit that, but it is the reason why we are having this exchange. That is why it is going to be only me that you'll really complain about. My existence hurts you, while those other guys are merely inconvenient.

                Can you actually stop making up excuses for ten seconds?
                And yeah, academia isn't a monolith. But then again - to be able to undertand what academia is, you'd need to be able to not burst our crying and screaming every time it is even lightly mentioned.

                You literally can't fricking control your insecurity for long enough to even start addressing this issue. That is the problem. You piss yourself when it's mentioned, pre-emtively start screeching excuses why you won't even for a second entertain the subject in your mind.

                That is why I look down on you. That and only that. The insane, pathetic endless defense you set up at the mere MENTION of the subject matter.

                And for the record, you are very wrong. I am actually a lingust - the fact that I started this shitstorm by mentioning anecdote from semiotics should have given that away, honestly. I do mostly quanti-linguistics, in fact I used to studio molecular b. and got into GL through biosemiotics.
                But then again - you don't know what general linguistic are, becaus you piss yourself when it's merely mentioned. And that is the problem.

                Until you learn to control that obsessive fear of anything intellectual, you are going to be mocked a lot in your life.

          Actually, none of this is true. Nuclear waste semiotics are something that has really been addressed since late 80's.
          The message in OP's picture, which one one of the very first major impulses for studies into this subject, is from 1993.

          The problem always was exclusively about EXTREMELY long time horizons, as nuclear waste will remain extremely dangerous for tens of thousands of years. So the task was how to communicate danger across any time span or cultural distance, in case of the knowledge being lost.
          Nobody planned to "safeguard" nuclear physics from the population in 1993, I can fricking assure you of that.

                not for a goof, because of some vague threat of nuclear proliferation (as in, some terrorist breaks into the lab and steals some plutonium or whatnot.)

                since you want to be a pedantic twat, are you arguing that there is no chain of reprocessing that takes uranium / thorium as an input? the french have been doing this in le havre for decades. it's proven technology. at the end of the reprocessing cycle the 'waste' has roughly a halflife of roughly a century.

                meanwhile in the US we're still arguing about that mountain in nevada to store all our waste, basically forever.

                It's not actually relevant if you believe me or not. What matters is the implication that I would consider that desirable, irrespective of whether or not I had actually achieved that. You would have realized that if you were even half as smart as you think you are.

          Just like they intentionally cripple oil and gas to create new problems to "solve" they intentionally cripple nuclear to have more new problems to "solve". They want all of these things but when you offer them a genuine solution they cry and piss and shit their pants. It is so maddening.

          Yes, I know. First of all those caskets are over-engineered as frick. So the volume is somewhat overstated, as small as it already it. Secondly, current mainstream reactor designs, due to using solid fuel, only end up using 1% of the fuel before the rods have to be replaced. Otherwise rods get filled with xenon (neutron poison) and crack. There are reprocessing facilities that then recycle that into new rods. Recycling is not very widespread though, because it's just not needed: The fuel is cheap as frick compared to everything else, and waste is not actually a problem right now. But yes, if we ever need it, the waste fuel rods are just fuel waiting to get reprocessed.
          On the other hand, with the widely memed liquid salt reactors, because the fuel is liquid, the xenon (and other byproducts) can be easily separated, so all the fuel is used. Also the refueling can happen without any reactor downtime. And of course the high level nuclear waste is 99% less.

          i'm not even remotely wrong anon, look it up.

          >religion is adopted organically, you can't force it like a forced meme
          I think a lot of examples of state-enforced religions would suggest otherwise.
          For an example, what you and 99% of Japan think is "Shinto", and think it to be a historic religion, is basically almost entirely an idea of one guy from mid 19th' century that was then readopted actively by the state in early 20th.
          So yeah, religions can be pushed succesfully, if you are smart, or persistent about it.

          But sure. For once, this was a brainstorming project, and only one of the ideas. Second of all, I did simplify it when I said "make a religion", the proposition was a bit more complex, it was about creating a mythological narrative that could be easily integrated into religious practices... which is how religions are born, but obviously, it's a more nuanced and more realistic plan - but still one that could very well fail.

          Hell, I presented it as an interesting oddity. It's not a stupid idea, but it's not a very realistic one either.

        Not to mention that a properly developed nuclear industry will create energy abundance to the point where it becomes viable do widespread advanced recycling: Such as, being able to treat trash as ore and breaking it down to its constituent materials in an almost arbitrary manner. Today we can't do that because not enough energy. Even ridiculous shit like converting CO2 to fuel starts to sound not as moronic as you increase energy abundance. Almost all of our economic and environmental problems stem from energy austerity. Even shit you wouldn't think has much to do with it. We can't afford to account for our trash because the lack of energy abundance. Renewables-only will drive energy costs even higher, the exact opposite of what we need. Not to mention dogshit energy density of renewables per material used not helping things at all.

          Actually, if there is going to be anything else coming out of it is a matter of being seen, but yeah - it's unlikely that it will have major impact.

          It was most interesting just as a puzzle. It is quite interesting to study human semiotic universal and extremely long-distance communication... It was also actually just a small sub-project.
          All of this was done as a side project of the GHS hazard sign project, paid for by the UN. Which was an attempt to create a universal standard for marking environmental hazards, basically a world-wide norm collection for how things like radiation, biohazard, and other warning labels should look.
          And since they already had a bunch of semioticians hire to do that, this was a challenge they gave them that caught on.

      You're spending gazillions on exact same shit. Instead of nuclear waste you got plastics and toxic metals used to manufacture batteries and panels, then also gazillions on mining, maintenance, waste management and infrastructure needed to have constant access to solar energy even in middle of the night.
      The only difference is that nuclear is a bigger up-front cost that operates on a longer life cycle, the amount of waste is lesser and you don't depend on chinks and their chinkonium solar panels.

          Unfortunately real life is not a video game, and solar panel serve about 5 years on the average here. Considering amount of them required for alleged green solar utopia, this effectively means constantly ongoing process of recycling of renewal, by dirty and energy-intensive manufacturing process. Possibly more energy intensive, than extraction of fossil fuels yielding same energy value as life cycle of solar panel.

      Those "Cheap" solar panels only last like 10 years and barely produce more energy over that time than it takes to create them in the first place. Plus you need to install tens of thousands of acres of solar panels to get enough power for an entire city, not to mention you need to create and install batteries to store the power generated by the solar panels. All of this stuff also needs to be recycled or destroyed once their useful lifetime runs out.
      Meanwhile you can power an entire city of millions for years with the amount of uranium that can fit inside the bed of a small pickup truck. When that uranium is no longer useful for power generation, you can reconstitute it into something that is again, either for other types of power generation or less intensive applications like medical imaging.
      Its also not "gazillions" of dollars, its hundreds of millions. How many solar panels do you need, each producing an average of 400-600 watts, to replace a single nuclear power plant that generates more than a gigawatt, some of them nearly 4 gigawatts?

            >you need to add the battery storage on as a cost.
            Actually - there is no storage solution to begin with. The reality is that you can't depend on wind or solar exclusively with our current tech, you ALWAYS have another, more stable power source at the core of your network, and you only use solar/wind and usually even hydroelectric power to supplement it.

            When there are larger networks that claim to live off amost entirely renewable sources, what they mean is that they end up ultimately exporting as much power as they end up importing. But it does not mean that they actually consume only power from those sources. They absolutely, 100% rely on the fact that they are connected into a larger international network that has nuclear or combustion plants that will be able to take over.
            And that can be turned off if the conditions are good and the renewable happens to produce more than is currently needed.

            We don't actually have storage tech that would be efficient enough to make pure renewables viable. They can ONLY exist thanks to another production of stable power sources.

Fossiles are awful, literally the biggest cause of premature deaths in the world FRICKING NONE and yeah, they will run out anyway, so if we don't lessen our dependency, as they will run out, people in control of the last remaining sources will ABSOLUTELY frick everyone else. So we need alternatives, and green energy is one of the possible tools in our arsenal.

                But it's not a SOLUTION. It's just a tool that could be implemented as a part of larger solution.
                Except... in an attempt to motivate people to look into it more, we have accidentally created a cult around it, that came to the conclusion that IS THE SOLUTION and that we are morally obligated to not look into anything else. And gave massive opportunities to opportunists who want to take advantage of this misconception.

                And that is what is fricking up over. I'm sure it won't be the end of the world, but it sure as hell will costs us far more than was necessary.

            It does feature a scene of teenagers bullying another student, but it's not really framed as sexual abuse which troons are known for, they just shove her off the chair and then beat her as she lies down on the floor. Her friend watches it in terror and is paralyzed by fear when she sees it, she does not interfere. Their friendship is terminated over that because she notices her doing nothing.

Top tier art direction and music. It’s one of the few games from my adult life that I don’t regret paying full price for. Actually, I think I’ll double dip on the physical copy when it comes out. I’ve never done that before.

        Americans are truly unique.

        This very interesting cultural phenomena can be seen in post-apocalypse being quintessential American genre. Fallout is a prime example, unlike dismal rendition of post-nuclear world from elsewhere it is cheerful and optimistic like an anticipation of new, better life.
        I can't say for sure why are they like this, probably a combination on founding culture based on anarchic frontier with no presence of civilization, and major part of original population stock being various fundamentalist obscurantist sects who were not welcome in Europe and sought better lie elsewhere.

        I think the 3000 cycles is because the ship reactor will kill the Replika on board, I saw someone suggest that Replika's would be more susceptible to the radiation than Gresalts would be. Outside of Elster's circumstances I'm not sure if there's any other indication for how long Replika's are supposed to last. Although it's still probably much less than a human lifespan.

          You literally copied those words because you thought that would look impressive, child. And you did not even fricking realize it's basic fricking terminology. And you did this in response to someone who informed you that he studied molecular biology? You fricking thought I would not know what adenocarcinoma or organoids are, you fricking clown? What the actual FRICK is wrong with you?

          >No, it uses statistical data for it's modeling. There is no meaningful hypothesis at all.
          And for testing. The FRICK are you on about?

          >Black person, AI speech was YOUR example of what it could be applied to, and I explained that you were stupid and how it's actually done.
          I asked you a very simple question you pathetic coward.
          What do you think quanti-linguistics means. The fact that you are too afarid to answer this simple question tells me EVERYTHING I need to know.
          You have NO clue what it means.

            I was describing the fricking picture. See this is what I mean, you fricking tumors of academia can't just read and understand a simple concept.

            There is nothing to test.

                Kid, I asked him what he thinks the field he shat on so hard actually does.
                And he is literally unable to answer that question. This isn't a problem of not listenting.
                It's a problem of clear, objective evidence of him being full of shit.

              Oh, sorry about that, I genuinely wasn't payign attention.
              Yeah, it's a tissue sample. Specifically a structurally accurate but vat-grown tissue sample - again do you seriously think I don't know what organoids are? What the frick do you think you are proving by posting a picture of a tissue and the words "tissue of a glandual cancer" again?

              Guess what? I can fricking do that as well.
              The fact that you thought that ANY of this fricking proves anything is god damn joke.
              >There is nothing to test.
              This is the second time you failed to tell me what quanti-linguistics are, kid.

              >And I told you to eat shit lmao.
              You really are getting ABSOLUTELY DESPERATE at this point, aren't you?

              Since the fricking leitmotif of this discussion is you not knowing what is going on and me having to explain it, let's do that once more.

              You can't tell me what quanti-linguistics are because you had NO CLUE what it means, but that did not stop you from talking shit about it, because you'll say literally ANYTHING your insecurity tells you to say.

              Now, when I ask you this question, it's a catch 22 situation. You could google it, but if you did that, it would clearly prove that your previous claims about it were completely wrong and baseless. By lying about it earlier, you can't answer now.
              And that is why you are too afraid to answer this question - there is no way for you to do it without proving yourself full of shit.

              Isn't this fun? Isn't it fun how every time you say something, I can fricking break you down to your moronic, terrified, child-like constituents?

              Isn't it scary that I know what is going on in your head better than you do?
              How does that feel, child?
              That you are not only stupid - you are stupid, predictable, and even a random stranger that talked to you for an hour can discet you like this, know what you are doing better than you do.

              I'm not suprised you are this fricking scared, child.
              But it is FRICKING. PATHETIC.

              And I guess that really is the conclusion to this discussion.
              You can tell exactly where this poor soul snapped, and realized how screwed he is, and just completely lost it.

              This is fricking poetry.
              Going from "Yeah actually I'm a cancer researcher, I'm totally well informed and sophisticated" to this, it's an amazing journey.

              Well, I had a lot of fun with this, it's not every day you can see a human being completely break like this.

              Hope you learned something from this experience, folks!

      It's what happens when you tell a PhD oncologist that he is out of his depth talking about radioactive materials. His first instinct is to inflate his penis then swing it as hard as he can on the ground to ward off rival males.

    There was a discussion on the legality of Bioresonance a few threads ago. I had actually missed this document on my first playthrough but it shows that just possibly having Bioresonance is an gulag-able offense.

    They just put her to mining instead of developing her powers, so I would say it's something that they either don't want in people other than Replikas at all unless they're highly controlled, maybe from birth.

      Nah, I'm incorrect. Actually, she was arrested for bioresonance while already inside the gualg for some unrelated reason. They're putting her under special monitoring because of the powers granted, but she wasn't put in the gulag in the first place because of it.

        Specifically, she was arrested for this note, which is found in A64.
