The Netherlands Institute for Human Rights thinks it makes perfect sense. RTFA
- hunterpayne 11mo agoYou do realize that the people who work there are economically incentivized to think that? In exactly the same way that Uncle Bob (who has never been a coder) is economically incentivized to talk about clean code or a salesperson is incentivized to talk about the product they are selling.
- ivan_gammel 11mo agoMathematicians who are paid for their research are incentivized to prove theorems. It doesn’t make their proofs wrong.
- hunterpayne 11mo agoThe reason we think their proofs are correct is that other mathematicians without incentives say they are correct. Also, they show their work. By your logic, we should believe everything any salesperson says.
- ivan_gammel 11mo agoNo, we should not believe everything that a salesperson says. I just demonstrated that „incentive“ argument does not make sense. It’s false generalization.
