I am glad that regulation prohibits human trafficking, despite the 'loss of choice' business owners have as a result. Prohibition is never perfect, but there is certainly a lot less human trafficking than if the market was less

It's amazing how many HN readers in this thread seem to be down for technofuedalist accelerationism. Morals and ethics so easily get tossed out the window when nerds feel like their end of year bonus could be marginally threatened.

> But why do you think legislation should be the one forcing that choice on everyone, rather than the market allowing consumers to choose? You paint a rosy libertarian picture about choice, but choice is not an inherently good. I don&#

There is a great need for more research (as a lot has been blocked by prohibition) but early signs indicate psilocybe use would have a net improvement for society for long term psychological problems. But there is certainly risk that it cre

I wouldn't give Google too much credit here. Almost all of my love for Youtube is based on the creators which are on the platform. The platform itself is quite user-hostile, has bad UX, gives poor recommendations, and has too many o

Do you think different types of mushrooms have consistent qualitatively different effects? Or is it just varying levels of potency? Are all the differences due to the ratio of psilocybin to psilocin? Or are there additional molecules that

Less than 1% of abortions occur in the third trimester. I'd imagine nearly all of those are because the mom's life is in jeopardy. There are a bunch of really stupid US state laws that just got passed that prevent doctors from re

Ad algorithms are never going to do what you want because companies which make great products don't need to advertise. Advertising is a mechanism for inducing artificial demand: the products you actually want don't need to be ad

Tide pods thing was a failure of our current information systems. Teens were joking about eating tidepods. The MSM news heard the joke and reported it as factual, and only after the news reported it as factual did people actually eat the

How would you propose AI be regulated? I think any regulations would have to accurately encode our moral systems to accomplish safety and security without creating worse side effects, and since the law already does a pretty mediocre job of

Fair point. But hasn't SEO blogspam already flooded every inch of the visible part of the internet already? Can't partisans already get 5-10 pundits to write articles advocating a questionable concept to add a veneer of credibil

This feels like thinly veiled advocacy for censorship and breaking the internet. And soliciting federal grants to research how to do it. There is already a practically infinite amount of misinformation on the internet. The misinformation p

Singular they is linguistically better than "he or she". Banning Karen (and most of these lists) is a ridiculous demand, I think this one instance is the place where politicization is preventing people from considering the benefit

All the time! When you don't know the identity of the subject, you also don't know the gender. "Someone ate the last slice of cake. I wish they had considered me!" "Phone for you" "What do they want?&

Singular they for when you aren't sure of gender actually seems to simplify language quite a bit in my experience. There are lots of non-non-binary situations that its helpful and you can avoid those awkward "he or she" &quo

With progressive taxation of corporations, we could disincentivize the existence of trillion dollar corporations, opening up the market for thousands more million to billion dollar businesses to exist. Regulatory capture would be much hard

Is this a tax on profits? If so, I worry it will remain weak to hollywood-accounting attacks: it's easy to spend money until there are no 'profits'. I'd really love to see progressive taxation of corporate revenue: the
