What's the fallacy about pitting your own citizens against foreign workers who must work for low wages and crap wages or face deportation? Jobs are a zero sum game. Don't forget - once you bring in a firehose of foreign workers, t

Any system with weighting/voting will inevitably become biased in some way or another. I would like to see a social network with only individual entities allowed (no companies, or organizations), verified accounts (but people can still

Noble move but I hope this doesn't cause unintended consequences. If costs go up because alternative methods are more expensive, people will end up importing from countries that don't have these bans. Are these economic side-effec

Shadowbanning is a symptom, not the disease. The scale at which these large social networks run have so much power to influence our perception of the world. If any bias, let alone major lopsided political bias, is involved in judging who do

Agreed. At the very least, fully verified identities on the backend and anonymity on the frontend.

What happened to just letting things play out? You don't know what's going to happen.

I'm betting on fake story for karma. Makes you think how many stories we hear on the internet are fake yet shape our perception of the world for many people who take things at face value.

Why buy when their bots and shills sway public opinion on Twitter organically?

To attract youth to a lowly paying government job, they need to appeal to emotion. Same way tech companies attracted college kids by telling them they were helping to "save the world".

He's trolling and lampooning people that are obsessed with blindly agreeing with the mainstream-sanctioned narratives (Covid, Ukraine). The book thing is probably a comment on censorship and historical revisionism that is occurring as

Would you apologize if you were proven wrong?

Has anyone seriously and honestly asked themselves why the US is so keen on pushing the LQBTQ agenda? Even if sincere, LGBTQ people are a very tiny percentage of the population so why go through such lengths to make large and sweeping syste

Well there is a geopolitical perspective to this as well right? Wouldn't want our biggest adversary to have strategic influence over these nations. Not to mention the potential intelligence capabilities from installing our equipment ra

IMO cancel culture wasn't as large as a problem until it was sanctioned by very large and influential people and institutions like the NYT.

Most are willing to live life to the fullest with negligible risks. Others who want to live life locked down and living in a plastic bubble, feel free to do so. If you think Covid can be eradicated with zero-covid policies, look at how Chin

Optimizing things makes people feel good because we enjoy progress as it gives us a sense of productivity and accomplishment.

This is how it should have been. I continue to say to this day, if things were really that bad, people would have tested/vaccinated/masked/locked down on their own volition. They would not have to have been mandated or compel

I think a lot of people just find the topic of conspiracy theories interesting and entertaining. You don't need to hate on them for what is essentially a hobby.

And yet the US seemingly does nothing about it. Makes you think whether the US government is turning a blind eye or they believe there the benefits outweigh the costs.

Eat clean (cut out sugars and starches), eat less, expend calories (through exercise). There are no shortcuts besides getting surgery. The more you embrace the pain of doing the above, the more successful you will become. That applies to al

Because social media gave literal juveniles power in numbers whereas in real life their opinions would have been largely ignored. On social media, you don't know if you're talking to a high-schooler, a bot, or a state sponsored tr

Would you be okay with media censoring content that opposed the Japanese internment because it was wartime during WW2?

If anyone is to blame for our troubles, it's you for trying to make this an us vs them issue. There are valid reasons for and against domestic oil production.

Your rationale makes sense in a paradise world where there are no wars and no countries vying for hegemony. There is an immense national security aspect and domestic economic situation you are ignoring which could not be anymore relevant to

Agreed. If there's anything I've learned over the years, it's that Democrats and Republicans are equally nasty. The only difference is one side is much more powerful because they are supported by virtually every cultural inst

I disagree with you but I don't think the downvotes you're getting are justified. If you really do prefer Chinese spying, why so?

Isn't this just going to end up causing companies to post large salary ranges with no intention of paying the higher part of the range?

You seem to treat scientists as an infallible group of people unable to be corrupted by biases (corporate funding, personal idealogy, etc).
