So you’re just going to whine about tone? Not even try to argue for or against what I have put forth?
Chances are that you spend more time than that feeling resentful that the big bad strangers on the internet don’t feel even a pang of shame just because you told them to.
Most patrons of a store are not the store owners’ peers.
> but I can’t understand deciding it’s ipso facto irrelevant because you’re a programmer. The negation of “everyone should know this” is not “no one should know this”. I can understand that someone would protest to a…
You went from Eugene Debbs to fairytale-spinning court jester in the span of four paragraphs. That’s impressive.
Chomsky has explained that the counter-culture of the 60’s was viewed as the “crisis of democracy” by the Trilateral Commission. An excess of democracy: special interests like women, the elderly, environmentalists,…
> EDIT: I think the guy who started Huawei said something to the effect of when you are a millionaire, you only care about yourself, but when you are a billionaire, you are all the sudden responsible for a lot of…
Cost to whom? Imagine all the lost revenue if people would have a rational basis to trust each other more. Less transactions due to more informal exchanges must mean lost revenue to someone.
Everything I know is personal. Most of it is not something I want to share, nor is it useful to anyone else. I haven’t made a personal wiki before but I do keep a fair amount of personal notes (without any…
It’s an analytic science.
This is a very Reddit-esque response.
> You may speak as you will, I do not deny that the current usage of the word “man” has acquired a secondary meaning of “adult male human” opposed to it's historical meaning of “human" and if you wish to use it as such,…
I said mundane topics... I won’t bother with the rest.
Not terribly pertinent, then. One is more likely to fall into conversations about mundane topics with uneducated people than to stumble upon existential conversations with educated philosophers, even though the latter…
Singular man is more likely to be gender-neutral. Good example: “man is evil” clearly means people, since one would say “men are evil” if referring to males.
We live in economies that rely on consumption. So it isn’t exactly strange that we make the “behavioral choices” that we do during normal times. There’s been plenty of fretting regarding slowing down the economy, and…

Shooting yourself and then later going out to lunch is simply impossible; it is not a paradox. A paradox is when two contradictory things are true at the same time. The grandfather problem is a paradox if time travel is…
> It is entirely irrelevant what it is. The point is that if the system is immutable it is impossible to represent a combination of state transitions that alters an existing state, Alters? Aha! But you cannot alter that…
This explains absolutely nothing. “Will simply do what was already done in his past” is the non-sequitur: if they shoot themselves in the past then that was what was done in the past. Sounds paradoxical? Because it is,…
This explains absolutely nothing. You time travel back and kill your former self. Paradox. How to resolve? Determinism. That’s just invalid. “Knowing” here just referred to the magical force that will keep time travel…
And I’ll reiterate: I accept all of these premises! I’ve never denied them! All you and Eli have managed to do at this point is try to nitpick the linguistic deficiencies of my explanations, which are inevitable anyway…
Yes of course, except for the last part. Their temporal experience, if they went into a time machine, is: 1. Time machine backwards 2. Shoot themselves 3. Time machine forwards And that’s how they would have experienced…
