Should have set the effort level to “high”

I’d like to think I taught my child to lie better

Antisocial people develop an antisocial AGI promising it won’t be antisocial towards a select group. Surprised Pikachu when the AGI concludes they are not in the in group

Indeed. Democracy does not exclude anarchy and in the case of the UN it’s a voluntary union, each member is free to not participate and ignore the decisions made by rest of the union. People often criticize the UN as having little authority - that’s because it’s anarchistic in nature.

If there is a point to my example it is that society is a patchwork of ideologies, there is no “pure capitalist” society just as there is no “pure anarchistic” society. So to say one ideology does not work as totalitarian society is different then saying it does not work at all.

I mean we have the UN which doesn’t have any one nation in charge. Geopolitics tends to be anarchistic.

What I find interesting is how we abstract away the actual work needed to keep either scenario running reflects how billionaires justify their own extremes. The heat death being a most extreme example as there is no “spare” energy for other organism to be conscious. The uploaded consciousness is detached from reality, living in a dieing universe, and still insists it has a right to exist at the cost of new venues of consciousness.

We can probably simulate a snail but me killing that wouldn’t make my wife scream at me for killing a snail.

As one does when they lack a spine

What did the US say at the end of the war? Iran out of bombs.

Person unaffected by past bad decisions doesn’t see how that’s a problem.

This is why we should lock down the OS to prevent people from creating databases of people. There are so many applications out there asking for people’s DOB and that’s because we let people just install whatever app they want.

I wonder how many lives per day will be spent to keep the island once it is taken. They act like once they open the strait the war will be over.

You said it’s not open to debate and I agreed to move on but now you’re debating the point. I guess you really do plan on lecturing voters until democracy is saved.

Technically it is open if you’re paying in Chinese Yuan 😂

Being gay is now optional, the crimes part is not

If you don’t even debate whether there should have been a primary after a statement like that then okay, let’s say you’re right about voters, then what? How does this lesson inform your actions going forward?

Because at least with my perspective the goal is to get better leadership to win more voters over. With your perspective what are we doing exactly? Lecturing voters? Waiting for more faces to be eaten?

You are right that is how voters act, to expect otherwise is to excuse leadership that refuses to grapple with that reality.

The main thing is that you know better then the consultants the Democrats hired who said it would be okay. Does that make their leadership sound any more capable?

Let’s be real, you had to be bad at your job to loose that race. It’s pathetic we’re making excuses for our “leaders” when they led us down this path for so long.

Yes, so you should ask for a big discount.
