What? Conspiracy theories are not harmful!

Yeah. I achieve happiness by not caring about anything too much. Nothing matters, ultimately. This is a universal truth. Once you internalize that, everything seems small. You can appreciate things more. These days I enjoy just having the t

I think many people will say it's already not the same as it was. It's not just a US issue though. It's a global issue. Every country is in the same boat. That's what's scary about it. I think Ray Dalio is right tha

I'm fairly certain he's describing the economy. There are so many companies like this which are just moving money around rapidly in and out with little to no actual profit. Finance sector is easily gamed. For example, anyone can b

Yeah it's like coding with CSS. If you keep adding more rules eventually stuff starts breaking and nobody knows how to fix it.

This makes sense because in an autocracy, there is no expectation of fairness. You know the rules.

It's so bad. I could write a series of books about all the problems with the current system. There are so many. These index funds are a mechanism for monopolization of 'the market' and it affects real people and it suppresses

They probably released him because they don't want the secret to die with him and also they probably want to track him via satellite.

I know certain financial interests love this discontinuity because we can't discuss fully without getting into taboo subjects. I prefer to leave it to the reader to infer how hormonal dysfunction might lead to a passive demeanor.

I don't know. I really wonder sometimes. For example: Does adding an endocrine-disrupting 'tongue scraper' to children's toothbrush actually lower costs? Does this feature even add any value at all to the product? Why no

When I read this sort of stuff, it feeds directly into my conspiracy theory about how people are being intentionally pacified using chemicals. - Headphones marketed towards children. (children are most vulnerable as they are developing) - C

The legal system is fundamentally broken. It's not designed to handle the kind of throughput that is required to enforce justice in countries with many millions of inhabitants. The legal system is mostly a fantasy. It doesn't exis

Yes, with current costs, most people literally cannot afford legal representation, especially in the plaintiff side. For example, I've been cheated out of at least $100k net worth by the founder of a crypto project because he decided t

The algorithms are limiting my reach so bad right now that when my time comes, the Grim Reaper probably won't even receive the notification.

As I've said before, AI is a force multiplier. A 10x developer is now a 100x developer and a -10x developer (complexity maker/value destroyer) is now a -100x developer. I can understand why a lot of companies are cutting junior ro

You need to have a very cynical worldview already to find my comment boring; as in; no information content. I really don't think most people are there yet.

No idea why this was down-voted, it's true. It's replacing one hereditary system based on inheritance of titles with another hereditary system based on inheritance of capital.

This is a dark day for the monarchy... and for democracy in the UK. Remove the only people who actually have a long-term vested non-financial interest in the system and replace them with more revolving-door politicians backed by the big mon

by jongjong 7mo ago
My attitude towards democracy has worsened since AI. The problem with democracy is that it can easily become a revolving door wherein capital holders can choose which candidates are allowed to approach the door. I think democracy works well

I think the idea of running agents while you sleep isn't going to work until AI can match or exceed human-level agency and intelligence. Whenever I coded any serious solution as a technical co-founder, every single day there was a majo

The part about 'genius' being slow and about wrestling with difficult problems resonates. The idea of 'genius' or in fact 'intelligence' being about speed isn't just a Hollywood thing though; it's als

But some people designed their entire lives around the assumption of IP protections. If we remove IP laws, we should remove all private property laws!

I've been thinking about the erosion of copyright as well. It's basically making software worthless. Already, the IP protections which exist for software suck. Patents are expensive and you can't even use them for software mo

There is a definite issue in terms of legitimacy and I also think there are some issues in the wording of certain open source licenses like MIT which give rights to 'Any person obtaining a copy of this software'. Firstly, an AI ag

Well it sounds like you miss this other person. If they're still alive I would probably try to talk to them, explain your feelings and and let them know you want them back. If the person is no longer alive then you need to allow yourse

My agenda is; I'm not going to war for any country because it's pointless. I think it's governments who have an agenda. According to Claude, Petain was installed after France's defeat; that's true, but Vichy France

This is an elite narrative. What happened to normal people? In the real world? Germans still speak German. Germany is still very wealthy, many of the same companies are still around; including those which supported the Nazi war effort like

by jongjong 7mo ago
All I can say is that people do seem to overestimate the impact of losing a war. Just like they overestimate the need to wage war in the first place. The main outcome of a war is loss of lives and infrastructure. Political changes are minor

Wow. This is a massive figure. The US GDP is $30 trillion but most of that is spoken for; it's wages, costs, reinvestment — money that's already doing a defined job. But this $3 trillion is different; it's flowing through ent

Unfortunately, I can't accept the climate change narrative because I've been doing my own research. I've lived in multiple countries and came back to visit after decades. I didn't notice any change of temperature. Some y
