I can agree on the context windows, but what other output structure would you have?

Do try Kant; being "methodic and logical" in no way implies being easy to read!

I'd honestly track his statements down to the second.

Which by consequence would be extremely destructive to most forms of entertainment at least in the short and medium term.

So, just to be clear, your "good first step to solving much of society's problems" is... ending most forms of entertainment?

Honestly, he's squandering his name/reputation and his internet points.

Again, no one is claiming that people who participate are stupid for doing so. Why are you insisting on the idea that others see people in financial difficulty as stupid? Nor did I say I'm the sole arbiter of what's demeaning. We

I think so, yes. It'd be even better if he just gave the money, no strings attached.

> Are "poors" too stupid to make decisions for themselves? Everyone in that video received thousands of dollars. I'm nowhere near poor, but if I was given an opportunity, I'd probably participate. No one's saying

If people followed the "optimal move" all the time, assuming you mean it in a financial sense, there wouldn't be any teachers or social workers or librarians. If everyone gets the relief of knowing they are free to pursue wha

GGGGP: The point of life is not to need jobs in order to survive, the point of life is enjoyment GGGP: Well, for most people, if they don't have to have a job, their life becomes a sucking void of boredom. These are the only two option

So forcing people to either get a job or be poor is for their own good, then? Just because you don't agree with how people chose to spend their time in a very nerve-wracking situation? This sounds very condescending.

Becoming unemployed may not be the exact same thing as a lockdown during a pandemic ? Don't you think people dying in the hundreds of thousands due to disease has more to do with rise in depression than anything else?

Why do it through a corporation rather than through government?

Over a hundred countries agreed to a 15% global minimum corporate tax rate starting this year. It's not nearly enough, but it's a start, and it shows we can tax rich people and corporations.

So what you're saying is that when people have more guaranteed income uncoupled from a job they have to do, in this case in the form of a retirement, they can and do choose to do lots of meaningful, enjoyable work? Which I think is

No one is arguing for you to either stop helping your neighbors for free nor to do it every day for strangers, so I really don't see the point in this.

Hobbies aren't necessarily only relevant to oneself, so no, they don't fit. Running a marathon can be a hobby, and lots of people compete in those together.

However, the previous argument was about boredom, not about being "on a hedonistic treadmill", which sounds pretty vague, not to mention judgmental.

I think people are confusing having a job with work . Making things out of epoxy resin takes a lot of work and it's satisfying. If everyone had UBI people would absolutely still work a lot. It's just that they wouldn't hav

Suppose the concussed person ends up muttering what would amount to a beautiful poem in one's own native language. Why wouldn't I think of it as beautiful and even artistic even if I know perfectly well the person in question didn

Why would you think it's easier? Pain/pleasure is a lot older in animals than language, which to me means it's probably been a lot more refined by evolution.

Not to mention that we'll never know for sure whether the doomsday scenario would have come true or not. So it might still have been a good response.

Aren't squirrels and frogs expected to have an axis of symmetry? I think the reason for the failures is the presence of faces; it seems to be trying to make a face visible from all angles.
