You’re being needlessly condescending. But I think you’ll find it’s a harmless question: What are you gathering evidence for exactly? What is the purpose of your observations?

Sounds like you’ll be angling for the position of Commissar of Which Things are OK to Innovate.

True, but in capitalist systems anyone is free to start a new business without the government’s approval. Airbnb’s founders sold parody cereal to hustle up the money to keep their business afloat.

“democratic ownership of the economy” cute way of saying socialism. But if people in the democracy don’t want to own the economy then it’s not democratic. Same critique of so-called “Democratic socialism”. If it’s socialism, it’s not democr

Science? What theory are you testing?

Not Utopianism. Technology simply solves problems which are inevitable. It’s problems and solutions forever my friend.

The privilege disclaimer is absolutely unnecessary, and I agree with your point.

The benefit is we find solutions to objectionable ideas by discussing them. The alternative is a chilling effect where people are hesitant to discuss problems for fear of getting into trouble for even coming close to saying the illegal thin

You are just long-windedly doubling down on your racism. But your justificationist theory does not explain why people of other races in Nigeria, Qatar, Japan, and every other non-white majority country do not tolerate drugs.

This is a really long winded way of displaying your contempt for your fellow citizens.

Your analysis is bad and your desire to judge others is worse. What percentage of millionaires inherited their wealth? Go Google it. Now tell me if it’s ok to judge any group of people based on that percentage.

Oh knock it off. I’m not wealthy but I’m sick of this trope where we assume rich people are jerks. It’s a lazy, unintelligent critique, and what’s more, your comment shows that even non-wealthy people can be jerks too.

Let’s say you had a rival, and they had a spy balloon floating above your house. No big deal?

You moved the goalposts by switching from “abuse” to “daily habit forming”. Abuse doesn’t require daily or even regular use.

This is rationalizing rhetoric. Full-on psychedelic drugs are very different from any other psychiatric medicine. Users should know this difference and be prepared to mitigate the risks. With psych drugs, the most common experience is that

Oh knock it off with the “late stage capitalism” crap please. You sound like a college sophomore. We are so close to the beginning of capitalism we have basically not even started. Standards of living have been steadily increasing since the

We significantly reduced smoking with a large ad campaign and taxes on tobacco. That would be a good start (assuming you wanted to help the most possible people to live longer healthier lives).

I would like to hear less “Elon is mean” comments on anything related to Musk’s companies and more commentary that adds to the discussion. In this case it sounds like Tesla is doing what pretty much all tech companies have done this year.

Not only is this not relevant to the article, it’s also wrong. Computers cannot create new explanatory knowledge like humans can. One day they may. But right now we have 0 clue how this happens in humans so we are not able to program it in

I like how NYC is cleaning up its act lately. It’s like it got over Covid and suddenly realized it’s the greatest city in the world and better start acting like it.

You are correct, of course. Helping everyone succeed is not only possible but preferable. The tricky bit is people really really like to feel superior to each other. They love status. And unlike success, status can always be gained by putti

This is possibly the most ridiculous argument being used today. Anyone who has looked at their speed and slowed down while driving past a cop can confirm that you’re full of it.

Oh knock it off with this crap. The article is about organized retail theft. If you work for a criminal enterprise you should work a legal job and pay for things like everyone else.

I know you want this to be true but it’s not. All impersonation accounts are banned. Parody is fine. That’s consistent with how free speech in the US is enforced.

I’m talking about the person, SBF, not the company. You are conflating the two. Most of his donations were to Democratic candidates. He was the 2nd biggest donor to the Democratic Party behind George Soros. We will see if he’s prosecuted wh
