I think subtle changes are going to go a lot farther in this game. In particular, I'm imagining the smoke changes are going to be a bigger change than they seem...

I would argue his evidence isn't even evidence against my point. Since he probably doesn't realize the societal pressures that got him into being married. :) But it's also definitely anecdotal. My counter-evidence is somewhat

I think there is a lot of societal pressure to get married/be in a relationship. As such, I think it would be pretty hard to claim that the benefits of marriage are separate from the benefits of not fighting societal pressures in your

A new college hire, who already has other debt obligations (student loans)? I guess that's unlikely since Google doesn't hire people in that group... oh wait... Someone who just made another large purchase, like a house and had an

Nothing in your last 2 points disproved the original comment. In fact... the opposite.

This feels like it could work in a way that would make Youtube money on scammers for a short period of time. Could grandfather in existing accounts, and have existing accounts give references for new accounts to continue getting "free&

This sounds good to me, but I think gmail spam filters have gotten worse over the years. I'm persistently getting emails coming through telling me I won a yeti cooler. About daily... I mark them as spam, and this kind of email still do

He doesn't feel personally "responsible". He is emotionally invested in his followers well-being. Which is something that comes through in a lot of his videos. He wants the best for the people that follow him, and so he feels

I was asking for citations for your claims. That literature seems pretty solid, given you shared a literal collation of all of it. Importantly, increased number of children identifying as trans Does Not Mean "increased number of childr

I didn't say I didn't like the result. In fact, I think I explicitly stated that I enjoy this kind of "out of the box" thinking, the first time.

If this isn't the problem with the internet, I don't know what is. "No no, I don't want the primary source unfiltered, I want my preferred bias already added into the discussion, so I can know how to feel about it."

Feels like a lot of hand-wringing over a statistic you could actually look up. Also, worrying about the "Trend" is dangerous given that there's just not that many trans people in society, and in recent years we've gone f

I mean, I don't hate it, but it's not innovative in the way it suggests it is. "There's nothing in the rules that says a dog can't play basketball." Yeah, but like, what are we achieving with it. Part of the fu

Yeah, Lagrange point satellite definitely feels like the only removable option that would be safe... And even that seems like it would be contentious. (How do you decide when to reduce sunlight for what countries) Also agree with all of the

This is such a stupid short-term saving for a long-term cost. It's frustrating to me how focused shareholders are on saving a quick buck via stock buy-backs, employee layoffs, leaving real estate agreements. It's a bunch of number

They are providing scrutiny and criticism of your position. Specifically that you might be in a privileged position where you are unlikely to see the negative effects of casteism. While it is meaningful to say that you don't see it, it

I think your view of what percentage of people this works/doesn't work for is majorly out of whack. Do you think as many weight-loss companies as exist would continue to exist if they were only targeting 5% of the population? The

^this. I think it belies some of the things I don't agree with in this take. Overall I thought it was good, but I think his is a very old sentiment that leads to more worker burnout which is bad.

Yeah, probably because they used up a ton of good will with employees with layoffs, and then immediately face planted. Kinda makes sense that employees would criticize them after that.

Not gonna lie, I don't know. But I feel like it's probably more useful to gather information on it than to destroy it.
