I believe you have made a subtle error. The people who do not "believe in science" and the people who reason socially are non-trivially correlated. There are three groups. People who claim to (believe/not believe) in science

There is no justification for putting a computer with 8GB on the market. Not even the most extreme budget computer should be built with 8GB, this is just a scam.

I like to talk, and I like to talk online. I think there is an amount of it which is good. I don't know what that amount is. What I can say is that each time I have successfully restricted my access to these places, it was followed by

Explain to me exactly how you imagine this going down. You've got, say, a billion dollars, not cash, and you've decided to flee from your tax obligations because you think it will be cheaper.

Well, in this philosophy, there's only one real thing that you should punish presidents for, and that's trying to use their power to keep themselves in power. But Trump did that, so he is exactly the man we should be making an e

I don't think there's no value in making observations of human psychology. I was arguing that RCT does not address the epstemological problem, since the subjects observe the outcomes. I don't think that there are no propertie

What do you think mental energy is for? If none of those things seems like solutions to the existential threat, which, let's be honest, they don't. Then the problem is not yet solved. In any robust system, components are responsib

Coming to the conclusion that there is nothing you can do serves no evolutionary purpose either. You should continue looking for an out as long as any possibility remains, no matter how remote.

Psychology is fundamentally not science. I don't mean to devalue it as a discipline, but it is incorrect to call it science for a pretty simple epistemological reason. Science depends upon the reproducibility of experiments. This means

Wait, you write: >Staff complained, and management (to their credit) wanted to address the concerns. So where do they go? To talks like this, etc. And then you write: >These are useful resources. Are you of the opinion that corporate

You don't need to be a subject matter expert to understand how encryption works. E2E can be explained to an 8 year old. The problem is that the skills selected for in politicians is the same as the skills selected for in non-venomous s

There is a hard line between insolvency and illiquidity. Illiquidity can be solved by borrowing at the federal funds rate.

Why is dying without regrets the de facto most important thing? You don't take your regrets with you either. If you want to care about something, at least pick something that will last longer than you will.

So this is not a new argument, and the rhetoric is intended to be inflammatory clickbait. Somehow it evokes a dichotomy between "communism and capitalism", despite having essentially no definition for either of these things. So le
