@Panagiotou90St You have to hate what you exploit.

Isolated incident number 563389 of a knife with mental illness causing suffering and death.

@sleepy_devo @ShitpostRock2 Obviously call the government and demand a law banning all buttons. If it saves but one life all my fears are worth all the other lives.

@ShitpostRock2 your child has randomly pushed the blue button because he's too young to understand the problem. what do you do?

High trust society is when you put your life on the line and hope that some stranger 10,000km away chooses the same illogical retarded option as you The entire point is that most societies are NOT high trust and will vote for their own interest. Don't trust them with your life

Im genuinely wondering why would anyone even press blue in the first place 😭 🔴 = 100% chance of getting nothing 🔵 = 50% chance of getting nothing / 50% chance of losing something Why would you bet on negative ?

@mikee_degen @StefanMolyneux

It's only the correct answer to press Red for agnostic/ materialistic people. It's a private vote, so you assume no coordination. If you press red you might survive, but you will have to live with the idea you contributed to death of millions of people on your conscience, before God, forever. Personally, I would find that unbearable. If you press blue, you might die, but with a clear conscience when you meet your maker. If you survive, you contributed to saving millions of people.

This is actually a test of basic empathy and intelligence. Most people in the world are too dumb or uninformed to understand probability or percentages. You are also including babies, toddlers, children and people with autism, learning disabilities, dementia and brain damage...

@StefanMolyneux Stefan. Please comment on the blue/red button meme. There is deep need here for a moral philosopher. What is the moral error that drives people in the current moral system go for blue? x.com/MrBeast/status…

I don't think people realise this is what the majority of societies for the majority of human history were like, certainly since the dawn of agriculture but even before that. Only a small number have escaped the rule of obese women and geriatrics.

@ancapbarbie @NeoRothbardian Easy. "Murder is NOT wrong" is a self detonating argument - an objective error.

@NeoRothbardian I invite the Randians to name one universal moral truth. Meaning they don't get to distort language: it must be a principle that has been held everywhere by everyone at all times in history. They Kant do it. They'll just get mad and call you names, like the Bolsheviks they are.

Suddenly, there is a war between Randians and Kantians on X?!?!

@dchackethal I might be too dumb to understand the issue. But does Deutsch not provide the objective yardstick in the form of error correction?

A contradiction in The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch? 🤔

@Matt_Pinner Abstract the principle and then you understand what happened during covid and why we can not live together anymore.

@PAHoyeck The old man the boat

Honestly, in light of my interactions on this website, I'm not even sure it's humanly possible for most people to *read,* period.

@ATaylorFPGA @Jordan_W_Taylor Manufacturing will appear when conditions are right. But some deep errors have corrupted most people in Britain and the whole West. Don't worry, all errors will be corrected eventually. What you need is error correction.

@Jordan_W_Taylor We need manufacturing, we need to build and we need to get rid of make work process jobs. x.com/ATaylorFPGA/st…

There's been a lot of discussion this week about comically low salaries in Britain, and much cope and sour grapes as Brits try to save face in front of the yanks. The UK is poorer than all fifty US states on paper, so it’s a valid discussion. Let's have it! Firstly it's true, so let's not pretend it isn't. By averages, medians or the great state of Mississippi, the Americans get paid more. I work in US multinationals in Ireland so I get to see first hand the difference in cost rates and it's real, there's no point stressing about it: Either get a work visa or don't. I'm British, so I've seen both sides of the divide and know that comparing ourselves to America is silly, because it's on a completely different planet. But Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden, among many others, also do more with what they have than us, so what gives? Firstly, let's shoot down the obvious nonsense: British people aren't lacking in spirit or vigour, or animal instincts or innovation. It's not a nation of losers or a giant crab bucket of bitter malcontents… no more than anywhere else, anyway. There's probably an extra frisson of class-based snobbishness, but people are people everywhere and Brits are more of the same, so the country's underperformance isn't some kind of divine judgement on our character. Secondly let's stop thinking about Britain as a monolith, because in reality it's two economies, not one. This island has other islands inside it, which outperform much of the world: London, Cambridge, Oxford and half a dozen others casually take in globally-leading research, finance, engineering and practically all of Formula 1. Then there's oil, jet engines, pharmaceuticals, fusion and AI. There's stuff going on in the UK that flies vanguard for the entire world. But then there's the other Britain, which I was born into. This is the vast hinterland that spreads outside the islands of wealth and sees echoes of itself in the dingy flats and drawn faces of Britain's very successful, and deeply depressing, soap operas. Thirdly, it's not all bad and it's not all about the money. Manchester is a lot poorer than similarly-sized Dublin or Minneapolis but it's also a lot more vibrant and fun. There are a hundred reasons a Brit might want to stay put instead of shipping out to Boston: Culture, community, football or just not wanting your kids to get weird accents. All good reasons, but we're still not doing as well as we should be. What gives? We need to face reality, fellow Brits. We're not the richest kids on the block or anywhere close to it: Our woodwork is decaying, our lawn is ragged, our car is old and we're keeping up appearances with fresh coats of paint. Nevermind comparing ourselves to the USA, because Poland will probably overtake us soon. There's no point coping about it online, pretending that 'Our NHS' makes up for it or lambasting immigrants, because that won't help either. What will? Britain's already good at flashy stuff. It grows more unicorns than anywhere else in Europe, it has cutting edge science and technology, a gigantic financial centre and is getting more proficient at linking University R&D into the commercial sphere. It's got the stable rule of law and all the tricky bits sorted, but struggles with the basic stuff… Britain doesn't build. Decades of not building infrastructure or housing doesn't kill you immediately, but over the decades it paralyses a country, and that's what we're seeing. A discretionary over-centralised planning system whose prime commandment is “Thou Shalt Not!” paralyses private building just as much as endless legal challenges hamstring new national infrastructure. So the moral of this story? We've got the hard bits right, but the basics wrong. That's not the worst position to be in, because it means it's fixable. On the one hand, the only thing standing in our way is ourselves. But on the other hand, we've only got ourselves to blame.

@itssanman How do you deal with leftists without NAP violations? You give them bugs and pods and a reason to stay in the metaverse maybe?

Conservatives are all leftists.

@Sargon_of_Akkad A voluntary disassociation would be a good thing. North and south Korea etc.

@ThePholosopherX In a pragmatic 4D chess reading of Elon - how do you fight socialist without NAP violations. You give them UBI, that is in the end only useful for buying a pod and some bugs. And then you scare them enough, so they stay in the metaverse. Socialism solved?

You can't fight socialism by becoming a socialist, Elon Musk.

@ToKTeacher Very interesting video.

@bogo969 @StefanMolyneux If you are interested how UPB is connected to physics, i recommend David Deutsch who works from Popper. They work from same principles. Good summary: x.com/i/status/20451…

@StefanMolyneux UPB’s attempt to reduce morality to pure logic is flawed because it ignores foundational questions like physics’ first cause while failing to uphold its own claim to universal, contradiction-free rationality.

@CatDogBark @StefanMolyneux This claim is self referentially wrong. As you, yourself, claim with it knowledge of the unknown. You are free to run endless loops like this in your brain. But in the context of a critique such a contradiction becomes an error.

@StefanMolyneux Atheism is doing the same thing as religions in claiming to have knowledge of the unknown.

Atheism is the understanding that self-contradictory entities cannot exist There is no such thing as a "square circle" There is no such thing as consciousness without a brain A being cannot be both all-powerful and all-knowing, since these properties contradict each other Etc

@MentisWave Defend with relativity. Attack with certainty. The modern condition.

Relativists have a really weird form of virtue signaling where they say something that is obviously untrue, but technically since under relativism it "can be argued" they argue it just to appear sophisticated.
