If instead, he had negatively imapacted the finances of the company by alienating the right, he would still have a job. It's only CEOs who go against the left who actually get fired.

If he had sent out a public tweet that he was against the Texas law, he would still have a job. Public opinion on the left - OK. Public opinion on the right - You're fired.

This is why self-driving vehicles will never be accepted in the west. OK, I'm including Japan in the west for this. - Self driving software correctly stops. - Human decision making overrides, and says go. - Pedestrian gets hit. - Self-

The basic assumption is that if M1 talks with F1 for a long time, and M2 talks with F1 for a long time then M1 and M2 will talk for a long time. Assuming it's based on hetero dating type situations, you can see why this wouldn't w

Someone who is retired, has a million dollars invested in the stock market, no debt and no income today is not rich. They are middle class. Assume they are collecting an average Social Security check. That's 18K per year. If the person

Is it basically a commune? If so, who washes the dishes? What are the incentives? What is the punishment for skipping dishwasher duty? Every time I read about communes, I get so excited. I always get inspired by the ideals they are trying t

He is advocating for the homeless in order to help them not freeze in the winter. So he's got that going for him, which is nice.

I agree. His heart is in the right place. And he's fighting the good fight. There is something wrong with a system which won't allow a spot somewhere in the city to put up tents. He's right about that. But I don't think

I agree that in small situations you can bring social pressure to solve this problem. Sometimes. Some families break up over issues like this. As you scale up, it gets harder and harder. You get a few people who are intentional free riders.

Yeah. With money, there are lots of problems such as this too. I agree that money is evil. But I think a system with money is slightly less evil than a system with no money.

He wants everyone to suddenly stop using money. If that happened, who would wash the dishes? Many communes have failed over this exact issue. They go on for several years with several people, usually women, making the sacrifice and doing wh

So you're saying that even though scientists have completely debunked the idea that water witches' success rate is above random chance, you would still bet money on the unscientific idea that the dowsers do better than chance. Doe

It's true that people are people, and everyone has a weird thought now and then. It's natural. That's just how people are. Everyone all over the place has ideas like this. The New York Times goes on and on about 12 people on

"Access housing that is within their budget." It's by far the biggest issue to address. And also the most difficult one. So easy to say. So hard to implement. Especially if the goal is that the access does not go away as inco

Addressing ghosting is great! You should add something to Rethinking Triplebyte to indicate you are doing this.

There's no mention of the ages of the people responding to the survey. I know several people who said they planned to never have children when they were younger, and then changed their minds when they were older.

What if I came to work at your company as janitor? And I did a great job. Worked hard. Attention to detail. Polite, and easy to work with. Arrived early every day. Stayed late. The best janitor in every way. What are the chances I would mov

This points out the absurdity of exactly two separate sports competitions for males and females. That's old fashioned binary thinking. Get rid of separate sports for males and females. Instead, set up a lot more levels of each sports,

You grossly misunderstand the point I was trying to make. My point is more about who gets to say what's acceptable on the internet. On the one hand, you have thoughtful, rational nosaltarians such as myself and millions of my minions,

Yes. A thousand times, yes. Electromyography has proven that plants scream in agony at that point. Isn't there a more humane way? New theories of consciousness posit that everything in the universe has consciousness to a greater or les

Some people publicly admit that they think it's OK to eat eggs?! Outrageous! Reading those words are causing me actual harm. Why isn't there a trigger warning? Egg eaters are on the wrong side of history. I mean it's one thin

@thinkingemote - Thanks for one of the best comments in this thread. Also, part of the way this swinging back to equilibrium will work is by the left tearing each other apart with more and more demands to just accept the liberal orthodoxy h

This reminds me of the conspiracy theory book, Lab 257. There was a lab on Plum Island in the Long Island Sound that studied infectious diseases. If you trace back the spread of Lyme disease in time, you get two points. One in Connecticut,
