As a Nietzschean Übermensch, I have gone beyond good and evil and created my own morality. And that morality is Christianity.

@Heavenly_Race_ One thing I've experienced is starting with a sentence or two to lay the groundwork for my point, which will begin in sentence three. But I get interrupted halfway through sentence two to argue an irrelevant point that was triggered by a word that I used.

Once you hit about a 20-point IQ gap, communication starts to completely break down. It's not that the lower IQ person is "stupid" (although that can often be the case) or the higher one is arrogant, it's that you're literally operating on different systems. A 20 point difference (roughly 1.3 standard deviations) means: Vocabulary and abstraction levels diverge sharply. What feels like crystal clear logic to one side sounds like vague, pretentious word salad to the other. Jokes land flat. Metaphors get taken literally. Complex cause and effect chains get simplified into "this good, that bad." Different time horizons and pattern recognition. One person thinks in months or years and sees systems, the other is locked into days or immediate rewards. Trying to explain second order effects feels like speaking another language. Also, processing speed and working memory gaps. The higher IQ person is already three steps ahead, getting impatient. The lower IQ person feels talked down to or overwhelmed. Both walk away frustrated. Both have wasted each others time.

Libertarianism is popular because it's based on internally consistent logic that a child can understand. "I'm not touching you, you can't touch me." The problem is that people can still touch you. "But they shouldn't." But they will.

@Gwinnett_wit @romanhelmetguy They would definitely not allow coercion, and it's not coercion with consent. As for unsafe products, if it leads to harm when used as advertised/instructed, that would definitely be prosecuted when it brings harm. The "we will not tolerate this" comes with freedom of association

Because libertarians have a “you do you you” philosophy. No limiting principles, beyond saying “small government” and “so long as you’re not hurting anyone.” Nothing that says “this is immoral and we will not tolerate it”. Someone can call themselves a libertarian and say “I want to defraud people with unsafe products!” And many libertarians will say “sure thing! Buyer beware! The market will adjust!” Another person could say “I want to coerce women into prostitution!” And libertarians will say “sure thing! As long a she is consenting!” The LGBT community has a similar problem with their libertine ideology. Predators and other unscrupulous sorts have been allowed into the rainbow tent because they don’t want to say “no, this is wrong.” To someone who is claiming to be an oppressed minority. Which is also why the full version of that acronym is 20 letters long now.

@romanhelmetguy “Keeping people from touching you” would then be the role of limited government. Its failing is that libertarianism has no gatekeeping or limiting principles. Making it very easy for the movement to be subverted so long as the subversion is framed as “liberty”.

@romanhelmetguy The problem is that the vast majority of libertarians never ask themselves: “Why shouldn’t others disturb me if it’s advantageous to them?” Funny, given how loudly they brag about understanding market laws and incentives.

@stonecoldkitten @romanhelmetguy Yes, for socialism it requires the state to be moral and aligned with the values of the people, for libertarianism it requires the people generally to be moral, especially the rich, and homogeneous.

@romanhelmetguy Have you ever seen a libertarian against owning guns? If yes, that's the retarded one you are talking about. The rest of us know that "they will", and we plan to do something about it.

@checkingoutie @r_u_thinking I'm actually extremely calm, just pointing out what's wrong with this guy's statements. I've inherited 60% tax rate to support a dying ponzy scheme, but don't worry. I'll make sure my children live better by destroying all the socialist policies that got us here

My take on the price of food debate... These kids want to have their cake and eat it, too. They want to live an expensive lifestyle and also build wealth, and they think that it's not only possible, but normal. That's why they're upset - they're learning they can't do both.

@allTheYud I was expecting us to allready be at the "everybody is dead" part by now. I had to reasses my assumptions, and I came to the conclusion that humans are the limiting factor, slowing development and deployment to 2-3 generations/year.

"AIs can't even try to do my job!" => "AIs are so terrible at doing my job!" => "Why can't the idiots trying to use AI for my job tell the results they're getting are terrible?" => "AI is helping me, but that's it; I'm still doing the work." => "I'm doing an irreplaceable part of the work with my skills in prompting the AI!" => "Huh, the new generation of AIs is getting pretty good if you just ask it. But the AI still makes some mistakes that only I can correct, and nothing can replace my human taste in knowing what to ask for and curating the results!" The ratio of entry-level applicants in the field to entry-level job openings is now getting very bad. => Companies are no longer hiring new experienced people. Applicant to job ratios for senior positions are getting bad. You start to hear about experienced people who are looking for another job and cannot find one. Managers are expecting employees who still have jobs to put out three times the work volume by using AI to assist throughput, even if the humans protest that the AI-assisted output is not as good and they're having to cut corners. I'm surprised we haven't gotten further than the last stage already on translators or graphic artists. It's clearly happening, but slower than I would have thought, even after I tried to adjust my expectations for how slowly the real economy ever adopts anything. In coding, the later stages are so recent that tech companies haven't gotten past barely beginning to trying to adjust policies to the second-to-last stage of technology. But there's another generation of AI. And another. And another. And the companies actually start to adapt to the conditions implied by the AI from three generations earlier. The process does not continue indefinitely. "AIs that do AI research" start going through those stages and some time after that everyone is dead.

Radical Muslims are less than 1% of 2 BILLION Muslims. Yet you people judge the entire religion by the actions of a tiny minority? Be honest you just hate Muslims. Period.
