Public trust in the media is at an all time low along with other institutions. People are turning to social media because the press is unreliable. Reform that institution and fix many of our problems. Maybe AI agents will be able to help id

"There has been a government-wide purge going on of references to any sorts of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) criteria, and indeed, various elected and unelected officials have for some time now been using "DEI" as a

I think they should have been more specific with their wording of the order. It does not specifically say studies or datasets, but it doesn't make it clear that they should be excluded. The actual order: - Take down all outward facing

I'm confused - was the decision to "shut everything down" made by the Trump admin, or by NSF on their own? If it's the latter, is it actually necessary or are they overreacting on purpose?

As AI tools become more powerful and are used by the public to analyse the news, I suspect we'll see a lot more deletions of news articles to prevent "harmful" narratives from forming.

Inherited wealth was actually pretty rate in the history of this country, and is not as common now as many people think. Generational wealth until recently did not exist for most people.

The UK is building their own digital gulag. Most social media companies are not going to institute these authoritarian measures for one small nation that wants to regulate the world. You are going to see yourselves cut off.

You're right - they have no free speech. They can't even speak freely about the horrible crimes being committed in their nation by grooming gangs. Many US companies won't capitulate to these regulations. The UK is going to si

In our complex society, we have to outsource our gathering of knowledge about the world to other people. If we know what these people are being censored or are censoring themselves then we can no longer trust this information. Our society w

I'm going to answer this is good faith, but I suspect you know exactly what I am talking about. I meant people in the plural, generic categorical sense - in the context of the public discourse. I am not picking out this author in parti

This is one of those who/whom issues. People that were fine with Twitter interfering in elections and censoring people are now upset that X is interfering in elections and censoring people.

Yes, and the most stable and prosperous time for this nation was during the period when we mostly halted immigration. That was also coincidentally the period when our social cohesion was the highest. A nation can't just be based on an

To have an honest debate about immigration, we need to admit two things: First, that the issue is global and is affecting most developed nations. Second, that the primary concern is demographic change, not the economics of immigration. This

I'm highly sceptical of this claim. Life is easier for smart people, and that is perhaps why they can be more generous. However, some of the kindest people I've met aren't very intelligent and some of the most devious people

The arguments in favor of immigration are usually economical, but the resultant demographic change is a major force of disruption in our societies and the cause of many current social problems. My home state of California is an radically di
