Mirror neurons. They see everyone else who behaves acting like clown but they’re less socially aware of which clown like behavior they should broadcast. They conflate acting and mockery.
Politics does not exist to resolve social problems. It exists to resolve headlines. So, yeah, it is a straw man. It’s framed as a general problem of society, but it’s a feel good solution that again waves off any…
Which is a side effect of educated workers demanding higher wages. Trickle down is purposely built into the political economy. Carmack was recently highlighted for saying it’s easier to educate a doer than motivate the…
Good, we don’t need AI. I’d be more interested in augmented human intelligence. Growing neuron structures to speed the acquisition of skill and knowledge. AI as we know it now is for empowering aristocrats. Here’s…
Yep it’s not an interesting idea, the hard problem. We can never see outside our universe. We can’t know all states of matter ever. We can’t peek beyond the speed of light. We can solve a lot of problems we actually…
The hard problem will be solved in time. My reasoning is that the people that defined it did so in a time when our science was less developed, so of course the problem seemed much harder. Information theory makes even…
Let’s not devolve into thought ending reactionaries. I’m aware of the negotiated reality. My point is it’s not a law of physics, but a social contract to be negotiated. We owed pensions to people and took those away, so…
Of course a full stop of social norms today would have consequences. My point is it’s a social contract not a law of physics we cannot hope to bend. Our embedded memory and experience need not be the one we pass on.
What’s great is fiscal debt is just a meme we talked ourselves into believing matters. Economics of real property is one thing, but fiat economics can be ad hoc manipulated in whatever direction the politi-sphere needs.…
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Isn’t that just a nice way of saying “less educated people are more easily manipulated”? If industrialist feedback loops are destroying the planet, are more doers engaging grand scale industrialism doing an ideal…
Advertising as we know it emerged as a melding of government propaganda research and behavioral economics during world wars, so of course it’s often scammy. It sounds “deep state” but it’s actually plainly documented in…
The problem you’re highlighting is a simple design issue. My problem with progress bars is they are usually nonsense estimates based upon random programmer choices. I know former MSers who worked on progress bars for…
It’s because our society has been trained to be risk averse so we don’t challenge traditional power memes. “Keep calm, carry on.” Thought ending slogans are what we’re weened on. Mens biology predisposes them to anxious…
If engineers gave a shit about humanity they’d leverage their “wait we build all this stuff” power and stop building until humanity is paid better Wfh = simply don’t open laptops But let’s go on about how Jeff Bezos…
Perhaps the cost to be concerned with is not fiat currency but more literal. The up front costs could wipe out the routine costs and maybe we could also dispose of the “ make money selling blades not handles” monopoly…
This feels easily related to lack of unified physical theories. We seem to find structure all over but no idea why it ended up just this way. My guess is a link between field effects and information coming off cells.…
You sound like you’re alarmed the world might change without your permission. A brand is a mind virus used by aristocrats to capture worker effort for aristocrats. Go ahead and wave it off with a vague alarmist reaction…
Facebook is not the only organization that has mastered copying bits between users machines. The technology matters. The brand does not. Depressed dads can share bird pics with dozens of protocols. When a technology…
If they’d demand higher wages and healthcare collectively or force austerity on the stock market, they’d have those things. It works for teachers unions, and the like when they strike. But like you said, we demonize…
It’s not intentionally built to fail It’s intentionally built to empower people who die, and the baton gets fumbled around once they do Frankly it’s working peoples fault. Aristocrats financial hegemony would vanish…
Android phones are free like speech, not free like beer.
Launch the waste into space. We sure as hell will never use the rockets for human panspermia if we keep expecting to power all this crap we throw out
Economics are real, but the flow of currency is not economics. The flow of currency is politically influenced and has nothing to do with human trade for humans sake (economics as commonly understood but not actually…
It would be immoral to redistribute the real property someone worked on. I have no issue with income distribution of a social value store since allowing it to be monopolized to prop up the value of a minority rich, to…
