Haha no. If the news media were any good they wouldn't be threatened by online rumormills as a replacement. Instead they produce such crap that comments sections on aggregators provide better information.

Trading on pretentiousness in cliques has been a thing in art long before the internet and Twitter.

If they don't get voted out for attempting to pass it. Unfortunately it seems fundamentally destroying ou rights is enough for that, you need to do something truly outrageous like try to raise property taxes on seniors to get that from

Understandable thing to test for but, in my experience magnesium has been legitimate for me. I've found it improved my ability to think personally and depression. The 'dosing effects' are the thing that convinced me it is a r

Meanwhile I've personally found myself completely unable to take it seriously due to the subliminal messages being "marry and reproduce" and "consume". Like people need sinister brainwashing to fall in love, have s

You literally could not be more wrong that opposing voices stop mattering once fascism is reached. Doubly wrong because fascism isn't a binary. Thrice wrong in that you think that a lack of anominity and privacy would somehow be helpfu

Oh look, an aristocrat patron sponsored is big into aristocracy, what a surprise.

"National security" has long been their favorite cheat code for 'do what I say, you can't question it, damn it!'. The boy who cried wolf has nothing on the old man who cried national security.

Technofeudalism always has been a complete inanity of a term, really and worthy of eyerolls that shows no understanding of either tech nor feudalism. You might as well call your relationship your grocery store 'inverted feudalism'

It reminds me of the inane motivated reason backwards reasoning from people desperate to cast Amazon as a villain and nonsense they claimed. About how online shipping was a carbon villain. Acting as if goods are simply teleported onto store

That idea sounds like it is a Freudian slip of sorts of an authoritarian mind. Basically, involuntary ideological tells from patterns of their thinking that slip through into their speech. The sorts of things which would give a spy away. Th

I mean, if I add a bell to a tic tac toe game it is being designed to be addictive. It is triggering positive associative conditioning. I see 'designed to be predicting' as a misleading rhetorical device used to excuse control ove

I mean, sometimes the status quo is just that you can continue breathing. To be blindly for or against something just because it is the status quo is abject stupidity. Sawing at the bough which you rest upon is not something to be proud of.

You're demonstrating the point I'm afraid. Rather than think of anything which can help 90%, you obsess on calling the people who want to save 90% of the people evil instead of thinking of anything to reduce the 10% further.

There is a difference between 'can produce the food with the climate' and 'should produce the food with the climate'. Comparative advantage crops up yet. Iceland can grow bananas by magma but they are grown slower and ha

That is the stupidest thing I have heard all year - and that has quite a bit of competition. Because nobody is going to be grateful for you de-homogenizing work and adding requirements of artisanal knowledge, and removing capital from indus

I suspect cynically that as soon as someone not a republican takes power the presidential immunity will magically evaporate in a burst of bad faith jurisprudence.

Do you honestly believe that teleco companies wouldn't receive government backlash about 'the children' if they were to implement an actually secure standard?

I hope I'm wrong about this - but they sounded like some breed of utopian leftist mad that an AI not specifically trained on their drivel doesn't agree with their utopian ideas, and they believe that this is solely responsible for

I don't believe that to be possible in general. Because we've already had Millenia of philosophers attempting to make discoveries through sheer reasoning and with the small in the grand scheme of things exception of formal logic f

This is just plain vapid anti-intellectualism. Apply that same mentality to literally any other field and people would be rightfully horrified or ridiculing him. Here are other "Cal Newportisms" to prove a point. - "Nobody ca

I don't necessarily agree with the thesis but the venture capital model is a bit weird in ways that explain why a business/investment person would do that. From my understanding 'Strange things most people don't care abo

I cynically suspect the reason for the checkbox feedback forms is because they don't really want the input or to make any changes based upon it, they just need to appear to be responsive to feedback.

You mean the ones which kill the young first? Especially the wars. "War" and "effective use of resources" are antonyms.

Class based 'revolutions' are made up of a bunch of idiots who would happily destroy everything while being lead by somebody even worse who is qualitatively identical to the people they despise. They have proven that repeatedly.

Safeguards are a myth we like to tell ourselves exists so we don't have to reckon with the effects of human agency with tools. Where are the safeguards on knives and guns that make them only usable to hurt bad people?

Warships are explicitly allowed to use false flags at sea, provided they lower them and raise their true flag before launching an attack. So all that would change to be legal would be to raise the flag and then unleash the drone swarms. I&#

The answer is because we tried to DIY and found that the government at best works as a developer with manufacturing better off outsourced. It is 'under-orderly' compared to a planned system, but the private sector works. There is

Because they are hysterical morons who had their brains scooped out when they watched propaganda about social media being bad for children.
