   The statistic is automatically (as in, by a robot, not by a person) removed. I only ever noticed because I made a long comment arguing against the racist use of the statistic (where I linked the table the statistic is from, etc.). However,

   How? It's automatic removal. Not removal by moderators. I doubt the automatic removal algorithm is that complicated.

   Sure, I agree that a person who spends his time trying to do good things for society is generally praiseworthy. I praise people who do good things all the time. But there's a massive difference between (a) praising someone and (b) havi

   Isn't one using his extreme wealth for (what he sees as) the good of the people just the baseline amount of "not being selfish" required for not being a terrible person? I think that one person is much worse at charity than a

   Maybe the commenter edited his comment, but as it is now, it doesn't mention or imply that Pakistan is uncivilized (which wouldn't be hate speech, anyway).

    Indeed. In very deed. I'd say it's a subset of a much more general situation. I don't know how best to analyze that situation. But some things seem clear: What we live in is far from a meritocracy. The current system does not

    He said they were free to. That's the part I disagree with: in fact employees generally aren't free to take the risk to start a new company.

    I hope you're right (although I know you're not): the easier it is, the better. What I'm suggesting isn't meant to be impossible. (of course, it would be easier just to turn an existing company into a co-op, but if co-op

    There's a solution to that: remove the employers. The end goal of organisation should be worker control.

    I suppose buying life-saving gear and similar spending is only a medium-sized fraction of the foundation's spending. I wonder what the accurate expected value of lives saved per dollar donated is.

    Firstly, I think Bezos has done quite a bit in an effort to look better. Secondly, I think Elon's role is a lot more outward-facing than Bezos's role, and that would probably have been the case even if Bezos was more attractive, s

    Another aspect of the relationship, I'm sure, is that attractive people are better looked after. And people who are better looked after, especially at a young age, have more opportunities to learn, socially and otherwise, than people w

    Hah, maybe there's some culture I'm lacking, but I don't think of that when I hear the word gimp, either. I do think of something like a gimp leg though. I.e. a damaged leg which can't support you properly.
