I actually find the opposite is frue. YouTube constantly recommends more of the same of anything I watch, so watching one extremist or even extremist-adjacent video means I will get flooded. What's so good about tiktok is that it keeps

The choice doesn't have to be binary. There can be multiple factors, which should all be discussed. Dismissing a frequently reported on factor that mentioned by officials requires a higher burden than vague commentary on narrative shap

Based on what do you say it's not? How is it a convenient narrative? The ban both could have started earlier and been pushed to completion based on more recent factors. Lawmakers talked about propaganda potential relating to Palestine

This really brought me back. I first came across Amit's page in middle school 20 years ago, and studied it religiously until I built a hexagonal grid with A* in Game Maker (which taught me programming from the ground up by studying Mar

They absolutely have grabbed people to trade them. The OP article mentions the trade. Every ceasefire in the history of this conflict has had a hostage exchange, or disingenuously "hostages for prisoners". They know it was coming

The phrase terrorist is the pretense Israel uses to kidnap Palestinian children and use them as hostages. Over 800 last year. It's highly relevant. Israel's courts rubberstamp some of the hostage taking, while the rest are on admi

Israel's prisons are full of Palestinian hostages kidnapped from Gaza and the West Bank. Their courts have no jurisdiction over them and have no issue calling anyone a terrorist.

This is true of most old empires. Romans, Persians, Arabs, Mongols, early Ottomans generally don't setttle areas they conquer. They don't engage in industrial extraction either. They form a ruling class and collect taxes. Any cult

Games are incidentally computer programs, but what's relevant is that they're audiovisual content. Video capture of video would infringe on copyrights which is what video games are.

That only makes it fair within your country, but it doesn't remove the self-crippling effects.

It seems to me that these soft sciences are parasitic and only try to follow successful things created by engineers and impose their vision upon them. There are plenty of engineers for hire, and sociologists can build their own vision.

If a mob demands sacrifice we must appease it? That sounds very different to the story of poor people's plight. Especially if you consider that random condition will create winners and losers.

You outlined how education is blocked by finance at an individual level for a specific family or person. We're talking about the national level. Do you think that with more funding every kid can go to a charter school? The problem is t

But financial wealth is not equal to material wealth. Financial wealth literally is created from nothing, and its mapping to material wealth is arbitrary. The last 4 years are a great example of massive paper gains while everyone was losing

Is our goal to reduce the gap between the rich and the poor, or to improve the lives of the poor? Because the gap itself is actually irrelevant to poor people's lives. Rich people's improvement outpacing poor people's is not
