I think the goal was at least in part explicitly to increase economic integration with newly democratic Russia in a(n apparently vain) attempt to prevent war. The actions of Russia (and now the USA and Israel) really fucked a lot of countri

This is quite common if you have full on aphantasia. I have a friend who only reads fiction for which he's seen the accompanying show first because he otherwise has no visual reference for the characters and environments.

That was not the question. You have not tried, clearly. This is about gaining insight into what parts of your tax contribution pay for what exactly . > I am more than happy to pay the taxes and my share for the society, but only if it

That's a very valid and hard question. You do immediately frame it in a non neutral way, which is unhelpful. There are good reasons to still have a significant amount of personal freedom in spending earned money: we have an economic sy

Have you tried doing what I suggested? As an addendum to what I said to your sibling commenter: people in developed countries take a lot of shit for granted. Of course there is a judicial system. Of course sewage is properly dealt with.

Have you tried? Because most people judge these things based on feelings rather than data and actual numbers. Those feelings are almost always a bad heavily skewed representation of reality.

It's a very simple experiment: Create a set of intelligence-only tasks with answers that can be easily graded for correctness, then instruct one or more humans with an IQ of about 100 to do the tasks, then compare the performance to th

A human with an average IQ then. Please try to go with the spirit of the question rather than trying to find some escape from it.

Does it harm other taxpayers if people are manipulated to believe that voting for Neofascists will make things better? Social media addiction is definitely much more detrimental to society than drug addiction, imho. Drugs aren't used b

I think this is stretching it quite a bit. I can go along with us having the tendency to determine the value of things in terms of money, but not with determining how virtuous somebody in terms of wealth. The former is morally neutral (even

No, you misunderstand. You keep talking about things irrelevant to the key point. Look at the political pressure the USA puts on ASML in the Netherlands to prevent them from selling certain products to China because those machines contain

I see. For which intelligence only tasks do you think an average human performs better than current frontier AI (if any)?

I made and supported my initial claim. The burden of proof here is on the person who claimed that the etymology of "nobility" somehow disproves my initial claim.

From the 10 tasks of Gary Marcus' list: "With little or no human involvement, come up with paradigm-shifting, Nobel-caliber scientific discoveries." Indeed far above the capabilities of almost all humans. I agree we should ha

How is it an example of European governments preventing American weapons from being sold? Are you saying the Finns unilaterally decided that Turkey can't have F-35s, even if the USA wants to sell F-35s to them?

Nonsense. The logic based on etymology doesn't show that at all. Most people alive right have never even used the word "nobility", let alone do they let their worldview be defined by it. They may have used the word "nobl

You're countering logic rooted in psychology and economics with etymology and linguistics? How does "ancient people consider the wealthy virtuous" cancel out "selfish people tend to make more money"?
