Even wild animals change their behavior when they get free stuff. Why do you think the zoo has big signs that say "do not feed the animals"?

Yup nothing binds us to that choice. Just like nobody was forced to buy a model T. Nobody was forced to plug their phone line into their computer. Nobody was forced to get a streaming box. This is happening because people desire it on the m

Value only requires that somebody is willing to pay for it. Any other measure of value is just moral relativism. What purpose does The Simpsons fulfill in the physical world? This is just a step further than what already exists. And it&#x27

Not being allowed to do things is called being regulated. So Facebook shouldn't be regulated in the same way that ATT is because they currently aren't being regulated in the same way that ATT is? That's a bit pedantic.

At&t is a private company, and it isn't allowed to censor your calls for whatever clever or asinine reasons it comes up with.

I would expect the opposite. As the mechanical stuff becomes cheaper and more automated, the creative work decreases in proportion but increases in absolute terms.

Not optimized for mobile so I didn't read much and bounced.

The timescale is definitely different though.

Also it might be helpful for you to engage with the source text re:Turchin if you want to have conversations about his ideas.

I never claimed to be perfectly aligned with your opinion. I just agreed that the person you were responding to was off, in that the issue isn't whether or not people are "good enough." Trump circumvented the traditional proc

Turchin, the guy who came up with this, applies it specifically to trump. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/17/were-on-the-...

Well it would be helpful if you did. Maybe some nice corp would be willing to buy an issue of a journal so that you can publish and distribute the solution!

Horrible example but the basic idea is right. Social sciences are probably a better place to point to.

Yeah I dislike this framing. Elite overproduction isn't about "good enough," it's about alignment. Trump was never accepted into the NYC elite social circle. They had money, elite education, and influence. But they weren

Psychological safety is so critical. I'm almost certain you have, at some point in your career, correctly implemented a feature, only for an operations or product counterpart to blame you for some piece of out of scope functionality no

We don't need to force a shift. We just need to get rid of incentives for cars, like off street parking requirements and free parking. The government shouldn't be telling people what they can or can't build (beyond safety)

So, for people to quickly implement http requests, we need to feed, clothe, and discipline humans for a minimum of two decades, backed by legions of teachers, doctors, and professors with endless time to service them. That doesn't seem

Everything you hear and see about the wider world is because somebody else with much more power than you decided you should. By letting them decide what you care about, you've delegated your decision-making. I think that's fucked

Why not? Who cares? Like he said, this is far from the worst conflict going on right now and it receives a disproportionate amount of interest. I don't care about the conflict in china or in Yemen or in syria. Because I'm a cohere

Yeah this vigilantism from careerists in the federal bureaucracy must be punished. We're never going to hear about the ins and outs of their darlings like AOC and Sanders (whose wife defrauded and destroyed a college she was put in cha

Sourcing and training new people all the time just can't be cheaper than better working conditions. I don't get it.

And wind turbines kill birds. And solar fields disrupt habitats. What about it?

Bullshit. Delivering power and water are incredibly complex. Water has to be sourced from God knows where, you have to do planning on building reservoirs. You have to manage run off (hey, your horses can't keep shitting near that strea

The tax code is the product of the legislature and the courts, both of which are accountable to voters. The bureaucrats are functionally accountable to nobody. This leak was instigated by a bureaucrat. Fuck the bureaucrats.
