The Greeks didn't have a word for the color blue.
> People spread harmful lies better when they aren't banned from doing so and when the harm they do is attached to a pseudonym not their actual life. Do they? To me it seems that people demand credentials in most cases…
You literally just indicated that anonymity is important. Freelancers could publish under a pseudonym - a form of anonymity to protect themselves from the public. And I mean, there was that one time that some dude, in…
You're diverting. Being attacked and/or killed is almost never voluntary. Viewing anonymous posts on the internet is almost always voluntary. Whatever damage is caused is emergent from the framework of interpretations…
How many climate predictions have been correct? How many predictions in general have, a posteriori been right? This is multivariate, not necessarily a question of the effects of climate itself, but every conceivable…
Well, that depends on the human reaction. Think of screaming "fire" in a movie theatre. Panicked rush out, egregious disregard for human life and safety for the sake of self-preservation. Consider our theatre patrons…
Hey old friend, Do you think, that having been through Cold-war era conditioning and propaganda, that you're sort of sensitized to the "modern Russia tropes"? I ask because, well Russia seems like a shithole. A sort of…
I've read a lot of articles condemning the state of science today, things like redacted papers having thousands of citations, replication crises. I've heard a lot of accounts of scientists on HN decrying the perversions…
How do you present examples when all it takes is a narrative of "conspiracy theory" to dismiss them? We know both government and corporations are, remain, and will continue to remain corruptible. We know they've done…
So you've seen the wealth gap graphic, where they slice it up into deciles? Further into percentages? It's wrong, it doesn't account for debt. There should be a huge mass of people that are net negative. I think we're…
I don't think it's a question of fears as much as it is the pain in the ass. I can't tell you how many times I've registered to a website to use it just once for one single feature, but I assure you it's many. But yeah,…
Globalism is inherently fragile. This is part of a continued trend which has enough inertia to carry us to an inflection point where it could conceivably destroy everything human, either in real terms or something less…
Explain to me how exerting selection pressures through a leaky system prevents the likelihood of variants. And to evince you of known hazards of leaky immunity, I suggest you look up Marek's disease.
What you end up with is recruitment. If the user remains on Reddit or Twitter they're exposed to the gamut of human thought. However extreme they may be, they're still attached, there may exist some sort of analogue for…
Isn't this logically inconsistent? The vaccinated should be protected by the vaccine, and thus little to no threat should exist. Ah but the vaccines are leaky you say, the vaccinated can acquire and spread the disease,…
Free speech is used as a dialectic medium to exchange information without having considerations of direct action taken against you (at least by the government). It is, effectively a deductive process. "Spreading"…
Selection bias, plain and simple.
They keep moving the number for herd immunity. Biden want 97% vaccinated. Fauci is following Biden.
From my anecdotal experiences, teachers did not like it, unanimously. And my N is about 50, so take it how you may.
I think it has to do with reifying things that hadn't ought to be rigid. A 0001 deadline is arbitrary, being one minute over is not really consequential from a logical perspective until you've negotiated and inked a…
There's a weird fixation on productivity that gets drilled into our heads at a young age. It's beyond okay to not be running 100% all the time, regardless of what the paradigm espouses as value.
On the obverse, we could just eschew hierarchies of power altogether. No nodes to supervise in that case, and everyone is directly accountable. Of course we long ago crossed the Rubicon, and we're simply riding the…
Define economic growth.
As it's told by Mandelbrot, the January effect was identified. Rather quickly it was exploited to the point where it no longer existed because the market exerted pressures to counteract it in the process of exploiting…
