You touched on many points, but one thing to consider: people seek out information that confirms their worldview and actively protect themselves against anything that can harm their feelings for their idols. John Doe isn’t trained in logic

I thought so too, but recently so many people dropped or adapted their core beliefs to be able to support and defend people in power that they really love that it made me change my mind. Now I think that value systems are malleable and are

You ignored the sources I gave you. I don’t think you will accept any source, given that you are willing to write down an invasion, terrorism and disregard for own human casualties to being afraid of a neighbor entering a defensive pact whe

It’s way more mundane than that. They just rationally protect their self interests using the power they already have. To claim that it’s not happening is not believable. Why wouldn’t they protect and expand their wealth and power at the exp

You’re not saying anything substantial again, albeit in passively aggressive tone.

People use the general impressiveness of language produced by humans as a proxy measuring their intelligence, that’s how LLMs became AI. The amount of code out there lets LLMs learn on examples of a lot of tasks and pass SWE benchmarks. Sma

It seems like we agree, more or less. I'd say there are more factors, and talented and hard working people can still get pretty screwed, but that's beside the point. To your original question about the wealth transfer, this isn&#x

There aren't millions of dentists :) I think you know at least some of the reasons Gabe. There is a series of filters: intelligence, early skill development, a supportive environment, elite networking, risk tolerance, strong vision,

No objections from me, but also no need to thank me. I just stated the obvious.

I think you would agree that success often depends on access to resources and support system - not everyone starts at the same point. Many who are celebrated as self-made often benefit from inherited advantages, which complicates the merito

The Democrats not being capable of winning and not taking the Trump threat seriously is another story. They are the third culprit after the naive voters and the scrupleless Republicans.

Do you really discover the world through YouTube videos? :( You’re making it too easy for the Russian propaganda machine. How can you even elect one person in a video as a proxy for your entire view on a subject, and say „watch, he will add

Low 6 figures is just a dev. If a team of 5 devs has to work on the problem for 5 years, then it will pay for itself in 25 years. Likely beyond any planning horizon of a company with yearly performance evaluation cycles.

Russia wasn't happy, because it wanted to keep the option to militarily expand in all of these countries. I think we agree here. > I do not see how Russia living with the existing NATO neighbors would imply that Ukraine becoming ano

Whataboutism? We're literally talking about a war Russia is the aggressor in. The US has stronger legal protection for speech and guns, but also more incarceration and police power. US incarceration rate is four times the UK rate. Also

There are already 6 NATO countries on the border with Russia, I'm shocked that you don't know this. If Ukraine became a member before 2014, we wouldn't have had this horrible war, but Russia was controlling Ukraine's pol

The demand is met by Ukraine not being in NATO. You can see the list of NATO members here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO If Ukraine joined NATO - that would be disregarding Russian demands. Russia just didn't

About your analogy to China and Mexico... There are already 6 NATO countries bordering Russia. It's really just about Putin being unhappy that they can't attack and annex where they please.

Russian propaganda just paints Trump and the Republicans as morons who are easily played by Putin. Of course USA is still the enemy, and evil.

Russia will just attack again. Ukrainans and their own poor and non-ethnic-Russian population are just subhumans to them and they literally don't care about any deaths.

The transsexual people didn't come from Europe. But you're right that hating them is why people support Trump.

> We want peace. Full stop. No more dead men, women, and children. THAT IS THE GOAL. If that was the goal, why is Trump asking for Ukraine's natural resources? Maybe his goals are different than yours. --- Russia annexed Crimea in 2
