What a disaster. Comparing twitter of today to what it once was makes me sad.

Censorship doesn't work. We must beat poor ideas with good ones. What happens if they are the ones who end up with the power to silence?

people who think slippery-slope is a fallacy have never fed a wild animal food.

Twitter never should have started down the road of censorship. The only people who agree on what should and should not be censored are the people who don't believe in censorship.

I don't see why people care so much. Its just another echo chamber that can be completely ignored. Clearly the benefits of free flow of information outweigh the drawbacks so its best to just accept the drawbacks.

In a free country you can sell a pair of sneakers to someone with different set of political beliefs if you want to. Thats what you do in a civil society.

I'll grant you that you've found a clever justification for stealing from producers. The question is what do you do once the people who are generating the value no longer agree?

It doesn't seem like a strawman to me. The money has to come from somewhere or else mass inflation will happen instantaneously. The number of goods and services that exists is finite. Giving people free money which removes their burden

This is worth pointing out. To me high commit activity is much more an indicator of poorly designed software than a quality project especially when a project has been focused on solving a particular problem for some time. This Solaris news

No it wouldn't. It would ruin the buying power of the dollar which is effectively the same as giving every working person a pay cut. Those who own companies and assets would be who benefits.

I'm blown away by how quickly these events have been unfolding. I wonder if the mainstream media got tuned away for these interviews in favour of Dr. Peterson and Stefan Molyneux. Is this an indication the mainstream media is no longer
