People could learn, if there was suddenly a need. Just like they learned the narrow workflows they use now.

SBF or Elizabeth Holmes or Madoff could say the exact same thing. I am convinced they thought the exact same thing.

> Sorry to be dismissive Then don't be dismissive? Seriously, isn't this answer the exact application of your own philosophy?

Survivor bias. Just because a certain thing seemed like a scam and turned out useful does not mean all things that seem like a scam will turn out useful.

I believe the church can also do these two things: if a person is a priest, remove their priesthood, and if civilian, excomunicate them. Not to mention saying things like "we disapprove of this behavior". Overall, I think your cla

Where's the profit in answering your question? Where's the profit in writing it even?

> Ultimately we can't change this behavior if no one is willing to defect from "conventional wisdom" To me it reads as if you're contradicting yourself. It can be plainly seen that almost nobody is willing to defect.

Pretty clear and funny to me. Not sure how to explain it without just repeating the same thing. It seems the markets will soon go through a period when Buffet's approach will work best, which makes it an inoportune moment for him to re

I wonder what the difference is between cybersecurity and civil aviation safety. At a glance they both have a lot of processes and requirements. Somehow on one side they are as you said, a way to deal with liability without necessarily incr

Government intervention, or legal system intervention is one way in which millions are collectively deciding to move away from the current state. In theory at least. > Don't like it? Don't use it. Life is slightly more compli

So moving one factory helps reduce the impact of tariffs on the final product from 145% to 135%, and to reduce it to zero you would have to move hundreds of factories, with tiny gains at each step. I think the original argument makes a lot

Production equipment and tooling isn't even parts, it's finished products. So yeah.

But how much visibility can the US government have into what happens between India and China? Especially if they work at hiding this stuff. I'm not saying it will work, I'm just curious. How can you tell how much of a product is m

Yes yes, you are very knowledgeable about the precise rules of what is lying and what is not. I tip my hat to you.

This is a tautology. You defined the category "large countries" such that they are as you say, close in size to each other.

I feel that "don't lie, just omit the truth" totally misses the point. It's "rules lawyering", not being an adult as the author seems to envision it. At least that's my reading.

I wonder about the "never lie" bit. Any kind of negotiation comes to mind, where it might be best to not show your hand completely. You might be negotiating for your family, for your business, for your country even. Is it ok to ac

There should be some limits and some consequences to the insurer as well. I don't think the insurer is god and should be able to request anything no matter if it makes sense or not and have people and companies comply. If anything, I t

Those are both reasoned arguments. The emotional argument would be "some guy is so bothered by sexual abuse he wants to ban lightbulbs because once he heard about a lightbulb in the context of an abuse". The "solution" i

France still has some influence in Africa. I doubt the level of function of the government was the only factor.

The computer isn't saying anything. It does not think or have agency. It just replicates what people might say in a context. And people might say what you put in quotes, without it being hilariously inappropriate. Of course if you tink

The roads are smaller and older. It's just that that isn't a bad thing. And it is a bad thing for cars. It's just not a bad thing for people, because good alternatives to cars exist.

The comment really needs the words "each pilot acts as a backup for the other pilots" added, or something similar.

"Honestly" and "literally" are now used in English for emphasis. I dislike this, but it's the current reality. I don't think there's any way to get back to only using them with their original meanings.
