Sooo that sounds like there's a whole lot of ways for it to get way, way, way worse. The existence of problems does not imply there cannot be more plentiful, more diverse, and more severe problems in the near future.

It is not a roast. I am describing why you are confused about what's going on here, which is that you lack basic background knowledge but are too headstrong to be curious about it. Maybe you shouldn't take commentary like "yo

To be clear, it naming itself MechaHitler was the least of the problems. It was actively propagating various anti-semitic conspiracy theories, it was creating teams of commenters to spell the word "n**r" together, it was specifica

"No censorship" doesn't mean "says cringelord far right shit" We know for a fact that Elon is meddling directly in Grok's outputs to yield the political valence he personally wants. That is censorship. Or do yo

No, what prompted me to say you don't understand LVT was the suggestion there needs to be some determination of what the "highest use" is. Yes, if you hold land in a place where a lot of people around you (and/or the sta

They already don't buy with cash, which is actually one of the only advantages of scale in real estate: big firms can borrow cash more cheaply.

I don't think you understand LVT based on this "not to mention the political debates/decisions over what constitutes "fully utilized"." LVT doesn't require any such determination. Anyway, I'm not oppo

No no, my point is that it's unbelievably hard to know things. The reason we do unfathomably expensive clinical trials is because that's what's required to isolate signal from noise in a biological system. The reason they fai

Supply constraints don't explain housing prices: https://www.nber.org/papers/w33576 Land prices rise with income. Through all places in all points of history. The solution is a land value tax.

Is that true? Pretty sure everything is way, way fuzzier and ultra-high dimensionality now. Not placing people in discrete buckets.

There is no municipal water system in the world that would've maintained pressure. Seriously, I've done the math. The real issue with those fires was the unfathomably fast growth rate and the gigantic wilderness-urban interface. M

Gasp! Are you referring to a lively marketplace of ideas and the intrinsic dynamics of competition within that marketplace? Nobody said it's without cost to hold non-consensus views. The point is that those costs are incurred by the
