This world view is just wrong from top to bottom. Between 1945-1970, China was in a much worser state that any of those 3rd world countries in many aspects. Are you saying post 1970, the reason why these countries did not develop as fast as

I'm more talking about how hoarded money has no effect until its spent, at which point the consumption tax kicks in. I.e. it's not really a regressive tax because you are taxed based on how you live, not how you can live.

Sure but can we just all drop the pretense that sovereignty and property rights mean anything. The only thing that really matters is power and how you get it. You can do protectionism if you are powerful, you can take whatever you want if y

If you actually define every inch of behavior, you are pretty much writing code. If there's any line in the PR that you can't instantly grok the meaning of, you probably haven't defined the full breadth of the behavior.

I would expect people who doom about AI existential risks to not train cutting edge models and give them agentic freedom.

Can we just all admit there has basically been no real progress made to the mind-body problem. They all rest on metaphysical axioms of which no one has any proof of. Physicalism is about as plausible as solipsism. Exhibit a > Nagel begin
