In this framing “any” human interaction is good interaction. This is true if the alternative to “any interaction” is “no interaction”. Bots alter this, and provide “good interaction”. In this light, the case for relationship bots is quite s

Increase spending on schools by an order of magnitude and it would be possible. All of schooling breaks down to costs and society’s willingness and desire to invest in child nutrition, education, and training. We simply do not even have the

Its really something to just casually say “all exams need to be in person”, reversing in a single move significant gains in education availability. It may not be obvious in a country with smaller student to teacher ratios, but for a place l

Well, here’s an example of the blind spots we posses. You, and most people, by default privilege “information”. However, in our current reality, everything is “content”. Information is simply content with a flag. The commodification is towa

What you are hoping for will not occur. Do hope. But hoping for a unicorn is magic thinking. For other people, they can either count this as a reason to despair, or figure out a way to get to the next best option. The world sucks, so what ?

Come now - you are setting yourself up for an easy rhetorical response with that assertion. I’m not disagreeing that america gets more migrants. But are you going to say that migrants are “average” when compared to the average Joe ? On aver

But where would you rather be an average Joe ? Your health outcomes alone are better in the EU. I think we all agree that looking at GDP figures needs to be supplemented with wealth distribution data.

Which would make sense when everyone is part of open markets. People are opting for the less efficient options, on purpose now. We live in an era where America is imposing tariffs.

The assumption is that it’s feigned. Frankly you do not develop these skills to this degree if you are inauthentic. Even the “zen openness” bit is mimicry of people whose vibe they liked, and they were surprised by the results.

The “trick” you are referring to, requires you to care about other people in the first place. As I recall, the section this came up was when they were coaching. This does feel like another instance of how people have a deep instinctual gras

That’s essentially true of the whole Internet. All the content is derived from that which is the most capable of surviving and being reproduced. So by default the content being created is going to be click bait, attention grabbing content.

Calling it a rhetorical exercise is… well sure. Disingenuousness is a high bar for the argument you formulated - which is why it went no further. Disingenuousness is a matter of being insincere. You ask others to eject the emotional cost of

Everyone has the freedom to hold their opinions. I am saying that if you are type of person who wants to be accurate, you should look deeper into this space. There’s many opinions that are easier to hold when not having to test them. I had

Dang it no! That isn’t remotely how deflationary works. There’s always things being supplied for at lower prices. That is what product or service improvements do. Your car is vastly safer than a Ford Model T. Air bags, better brakes, power

Yes, this is good. I urge anyone who thinks otherwise to wade into this arena themselves and see what they find. It is incredibly easy to be on the sidelines and hold an opinion. It is your right to do so. However if even a tiny bit of you

I find the comments interesting, in that we discuss factual accuracy and obsequiousness in the same breath. Is it just me, or am I misreading the conversations ? In my mind, these two are unrelated to each other. One is a human trait, the o

I have used them for moderation and policy, back when I used to moderate. I retired ideological beliefs in favor of reality when I went and found the data and research. Stating “it doesn’t”, does not convert an opinion into fact. That said,

These ideas are used, and they influence what policy is crafted. You can’t predict what an individual will do, but work like this kills many inaccurate ideological positions that we inherited. There’s a paper from 2016 that shows how posts
