I haven’t heard that part of this interview but from past speaking engagements by him I think he means they probably intended to install a friendly regime. Though in many contexts that’s not all that different, I think the difference betwee

Piracy is routinely found to be illegal when it meets the judicial system, and the distributors of porn profited greatly from the distribution system before the internet. Why would they be the drivers of this? edit: replied to the wrong com

I’ve always found the history of heliocentrism useful for thinking about this. They may have been “correct” in antiquity but the model they had was not that good. I think it’s incredibly valuable to be able to apply it to politics enough to

> Shortly after the lowest average temp in the last 10k years the temp goes up a tiny bit and that is bad? A degree in 20 years is not “a tiny bit” in this aggregated form. That’s why the ice age scenario you suggest is also bad. There i

I don’t think the ruling really solved anything for supporters, the people who support it aren’t actually served by opening up a few more spots at elite institutions. Facebook banning political discussions is likely very different circumsta
