I actually really want to test your theory on myself. . . I wonder how I could best do that.

It's not that easy. The deeper issue is plurality voting and duverger's law, with people being incentivized not to vote for something but to vote against a perceived evil, as that's what the campaigns get more traction wi

It is telling that you considered their post to be about class warfare rather than different values. The original focus of this thread was on technical precision vs. market efficiency, and how quality was sacrificed for faster conversion to

Harm to the creators is eventual harm to the users if it results in some of the creators they enjoyed watching no longer being sustainable.

You're underestimating how much the media landscape has changed, and the groundwork being laid even within the states themselves.

Ranked choice for single-seat elections can create situations where your ballot backfires, which is why it has been tried and rolled back. It works for proportional representation, but then you've got people divided ideologically rathe

When the only perceived means of winning is making others lose, most people are going to lose. The US should never have used plurality voting. It functions as the inputs to the Nash Equilibria decision matrix, our individual votes being aga

That's a convenient narrative but it overlooks the desire to prevent normalization of hostile takeovers. Russia tried to pretend that its satellite states and NATO were similar arrangements (with the latter thus being under US control)

Voting within the plurality system gave voters access only to the inputs of the Nash Equilibrium decision matrix, not the outputs. All it took was everyone being focused on winning by making the other side lose, and suddenly "we"

Doing this while the runtime learning is not yet developed means unleashing the equivalent of something between a toddler and young adult without the ability to progress through those stages before potentially causing harm. Though as someon

Not unaccountable, just requiring the cooperation of multiple branches to remove. Cooperation which has been deemed too transparent, too vulnerable to actually caring about what is being destroyed.

Reminds me of wearing non-prescription sunglasses despite having myopia. It feels like the blurring of the world is due to the glasses, even though they're actually only blocking some of the light rather than distorting it.

This ties in with something that took me far too long to recognize: Trust has two pillars. One pillar is alignment of values, and therefore intent. The other pillar is competence. These are the same issues faced by AI development, as well a

If you think Trump is actually in charge when he's signing all those executive orders being handed to him and-- Anyway, he's not the real power, here.

It was a move by the political parties to campaign on social wedge issues and ignore economic ones.

The reason it's defensible is that now checks and balances are gone because there aren't even token checks/balances from partisanship--the remaining functions of government are controlled by a single party, purging anyone who

Trump was surrounded by establishment Republicans last time. This time no checks and balances exist within the administration, and the supreme court has been turned. I wish I could laugh.

Some people form a belief and then look for evidence to support it, others look at the evidence and check for inconsistencies before getting attached to a belief. "Nobody" wants Trump to be Hitler, they're observing parallels

The entire government was intended to have 3 competing branches keeping each other's desire for power balanced against one another. Unfortunately, Duverger's Law (splitting votes results in your least favorite candidate winning) m

Seemingly tiny, inconsequential stories like this can add up. This sends a signal, and could hint at things to come.

The discrediting is of the inevitability of its all-encompassing effects. It can be present without needing to be defended or prevent the Alpha from caring for its young.

by error_logic 2y ago
The thing is that when someone has to work hard to seem Alpha they are instead revealing their insecurity--the need to compensate to hide vulnerability. Some people play into that game, others see through it.

In my experience it's not even dismissing the humanity of others, it's recognizing their own minds following similar patterns. In my youth I lacked the confidence to speak without a sentence "pre-written" in my mind and

A lot of that is provided by multi-modality including feedback from the body and interacting with objects and people with more than just the words. That expands the context of a human's experiences dramatically compared to just reading

Indeed, some of us are more willing to believe ourselves somehow special and block out our own irrationalities and missteps. There is a deep need in some people to ignore their own flaws so they can present themselves as more competent. Mor

A walled garden can protect, or it can enslave. Eye of the beholder. This thread was about creating a walled garden by downranking external links.
