That's my position. I don't want to give the UN money (look how dysfunctional and corrupt the WHO is), but I do want military spending to go down. Why make it more politically difficult than it needs to be. What's the benefit

I'm referring to privately funded IP projects. I agree that publicly funded research can still exist even without IP protection.

Maybe it's not about whether the article can or can't be shared, it's just that they don't want lies to be explicitly told about their article, because that negatively impacts their reputation? For example, the claim of

I'm more talking about big budget projects that require large and expensive teams, rather than indie projects or music. Say, The Lord of the Rings or the Pfizer vaccine. Achievements of this scale can't be done by small groups of

Unlikely. You can't know which orders are spoofs because they're anonymous and blended with the majority of real orders. Anyone that tries to hit large spoof orders when they occasionally pop up will just lose money unless you fig

Perhaps it could work with a much more extended cool-off period. Over the course of a year, the person needs to affirm they want to go through with it on the last day of each month. If over the last 12 consecutive months they have said yes

The study is convincing reason to believe otherwise. Not in any one specific case, but in terms of understanding where the phenomenon comes from in general.

I wouldn't assume good faith. There have been psych studies on virtue signallers and victim signallers, and they found much higher levels of narcissism and psychopathy than in the general population.

This is semantics, no? Couldn't the obstacles be so large that it's practically the same as forbidding? When I read "they're not forbidden", I take that to also mean that there's few new obstacles.

Why would there be pushback if they can just send their kids to private schools and not bear the negative consequences? Virtue signalling is actually advantageous to them. If they handicap all the public school kids then their own kids will
