I don't know how to bridge the gap here. I think I understand what you're saying. You're saying it's not okay because society has said it isn't. You agree with that. The question is, why do you agree with that? Is i

This is a terminological problem then, because many, many people argue "we" are neither civilized nor ruled by law. Furthermore, you could just write a law that says experimenting on serial killers is legal. You'd have to exp

I had the same thought! Dang repeats the mantra, "bring curiosity" and here is a very curious post being downvoted. Also, the whole point of the downvote is to "disagree" but it doesn't seem to be used that way. Als

How would a scenario exist where Trump would say take it, but professionals wouldn't be also saying it? How would it even exist? Professionals invented it .

These are just analogies, so let's just accept that first and foremost. Words are just a way for us to make sense of it, which we can't really do. Even math itself is just an approximation for reality. But, in "this world,&

Do you actually remember this in real time? Do you remember at the beginning when everyone was wondering what to do and they said wear a mask and then they said not wear a mask and everyone around you was like, "What?? What is going on

Okay dang, here's what I'm curious about. People walking around without a mask. How are they going to know who is vaccinated and who isn't? Say someone who isn't vaccinated is walking around without a mask. What is the o

It is a scientific fact that there will be more of it. It's called operant conditioning. If you reward behavior, you get more of it. If you think it's about the ransom though, think bigger. Can you even imagine how many billions o

You need time to differentiate, but the universe does not. The one and the one and the two of them are always here in the universe. You just need time to speak it. You need time to observe the difference between the neuronal pattern bet

I'm not sure the title is accurate. We've known about fires like this for well over a century. The military wondered if it could weaponize them to destroy the enemy. The first real world use of such a weapon was in WWII when the U

I'm really surprised a Notifications as a Service company would suggest you shouldn't build notifications yourself. Shawking.

Stop using them too, then. I already did.

Not using them. A cab. Your own car. A rental car. That other ride sharing company. Or the other one. Or the other one. Your buddy with a car. The next door neighbor with a car. Walk. A bike. The train. Move somewhere else. Or just keep

It wasn't the leaders it was the followers. Or rather, those who refused to follow. No one followed up on the US leader's claim that it came from a lab. No, they said, "He said it so it's a lie!" And they continue t

Yeah, just don't do GoF research. Or don't let it escape from a lab. Or, don't lie about it when it does. Or, contain it if it does. Or shut down travel outside the country if it does. Or, don't cripple Australia with a

> Musk smartly decided he did not want to risk his half a trillion dollar company on random bitcoin fluctuations. Except that's actually what he did, so if it was smart, then he didn't believe he was risking his business on i

I have no judgement either way about misanthrope, but I think it's become clear that Elon Musk is one. He laughs when his words harm people. He intentionally causes suffering in the world. He isn't trying to save the planet, he&#x

It was absolutely his intention. Everyone who owns bitcoin wants it to go up. This is exactly a pump and dump strategy. He went on SNL to make a broader market aware of it, then in the interest it created, he offloads his shares? Smartest g

We can start by thinking of software as the tool, rather than the product. We tend to pride ourselves on the software we create, rather than priding ourselves on the problem we have solved. We have pushed the concept of tool down. So, what

I agree. I think the $500 tax savings home owners get makes not a lot of difference in their lives and simultaneously, they'll believe they earned it, while scoffing at the idea of giving free money to someone who has none. We're

It's not a lot of money. It's $1.8 Trillion a year if we gave it to every American. The GDP of the USA is $21 Trillion, so we are talking about 10% of our GDP going to eliminate poverty. Remember, in 2008, we gave about $17 Trilli

Rules for thee, but not for me. The New York Times lied us into the Iraq War. They are a consent factory. We keep assuming someone is immune to the human condition because of their title. Journalists are human beings. They want to eat, drin

Millionaires say, "Give your children enough money to do something, but not enough money to do nothing." It applies across the board. Studies of poverty traps provide evidence of learned helplessness. If you're rich, most thi
