And the problem with this whole discussion is that I'm not necessarily trying to defend conservatives, but rather to confront progressives with a reality that might, hopefully, prompt some self-reflection. But any criticism of progress

Because unlike many others, I don't pretend to be all-knowing and all-good. Overconfidence, assertive dominance, and shared convictions often stem from, or lead to, ignorance. But if you don't believe me, than check out this power

Because National Socialism has become an irrefutable foundation — and I don't want to discuss that. I actually see it as a step backward that the next generations are now necessarily forced to live and think under its shadow, when they

And now it’s falling apart from within due to ideas from the humanities? Where do we even place the temporal benchmark for progress and why do we call it progress in the first place? Let’s be concrete: Since when has science been driven by

But did this "brain drain" throw Germany back into the Stone Age? I'm not too familiar with the historical details, but I don't know of any reports suggesting that Germany was scientifically damaged in the post-war perio

Yeah - one can simply feel it, where these people are coming from. I can't imagine anyone would be missing anything if they never published a single thing. I am exhausted of this type of journalism and activism.

There is no contradiction between patriotism, nationalism and science or progress. Every time I read this kind of leftist propaganda, I lose hope for the world. The very people who present themselves as intelligent and morally superior fail

Not that that's my intention, but yes—in a certain sense, fun has to be justified, for example, by competence. Having no competence and having a lot of fun isn't a good mix. Furthermore, your comparisons are flawed because they a

My biggest problem with these new companies is their core philosophy. First, these companies generate their own demand — natural demand for their products rarely exists. Therefore, they act more like sellers than developers. Second, they a

I will never understand people defending migration for ideological reasons. This makes absolutely no sense to me. Your empathy or moral display is of no interest to me, yet upholding a social order and public safety is. So why should every

There is still a deeper problem, which the article didn't tackle. We don't need social media in general. Some forums and platforms for geeks and freaks are enough. We don't need perfectly orchestrated or fairly designed apps

absolutely agree! But the difficult part is to find good arguments against it, which go beyond your feelings. Because we live in world, in which feelings alone have become almost meaningless.

That's why I hate this new breed of computer idiot who presumes to be equal in everything, in order to elevate themselves above the futility of their control structures. And also the reason why I'm actually completely wrong on thi

Q1: Aren't the games flawed, because you can't lose anything? Q2: And why doesn't wealth give you an advantage and poverty a disadvantage? Q3: how will it turn out with more random/unequal stakes? Q4: What if the stakes

Yes, I see that there are certain demands here. I'm new here and I thought this site was actually free. But I guess I need to adjust my expectations. I think that if you want to expect a certain standard of conversation, then you eithe

I really have to admit - I don't feel threatened by the author or by criticism of the author. I believe, like many others here, that this text actually doesn't deserve much attention. It's clearly apocalyptic. But it's i

But "no proof, no evidence, no citations, low-effort, rants, etc." do not mean 'no sense'. And the posting is clearly making sense. The claim "that civilization will collapse" is not an evident truth, so the co

Yes, I secretly have such a wish. I think humanity has reached a point where everything seems to be falling apart. I would rather see the phoenix burn down and a new one rise from its ashes.

I think that people should have the right to express themselves subjectively about something without having to submit a paper. Facts aren't the only thing people talk about, and the feeling that the article might suggest cannot be forc

I agree on the sentiment - We live beyond our means and that doesn't even make sense. But I find the prediction that we would perish in the near future neither well founded nor sensible. The motivation behind it is also bizarre: so tha

Hey Jahnu, I don't know if this of any interest to you. And it is in German too, so maybe even not understandable to you. But the findings are shocking. The majority of German people are afraid to express their opinion as it strikes th

No, be brave and dystopian :) Is actually any one working against AI? Are there any protests? I mean, Isn't that just an expression of how much the progressives have protected themselves against countermeasures? Apparently the claim &q

Do you really think so? I mean, that's a small success, but everywhere I hang out or whatever I happen to come across has a very left-wing tinge.

But I think that we know. I think, that if you asked the people world wide in a poll, the majority would reject AI and LLMs. I wouldn't miss it.

I think that you are overreacting, influenced by media. I overflew the article, but it was something about 16 blogs, if I'm correct? 16 out of how many? Did you have personal experience or contact with them?

Oh no, sorry, I think I got you wrong. It was actually some "Thomas" who accused me of something. You actually understood my first intention very well. So a little bit confused. But be that as it may, this thread has been taken to
