@ericweinstein I was with you until the non-sequitur of 'You had to pay these people properly'. We had to pay them more so they wouldn't try to prevent civilizational progress?
Here's what's going to happen: the corrupt priests will be cast out, the real philosophers will continue working.
By your logic you’re responsible for every single death that could have been prevented anywhere in the world unless you donate every single dollar you make (and every dollar you choose NOT to make) to preventing it.
Additionally every dollar allocation is itself a discriminatory action and therefore you’ve saved some people while killing others.
@ImKingGinger@Awk20000 You’re mistaking stability of opinion for stability of reason.
As a smart guy once said: “the unexamined life is not worth living.”
I don’t think the problem is nihilism. It’s just a low-dimensional worldview or just a badly compressed worldview. It comes off as an ideology seeking a validating model, which is a frequent failure mode.
It’s expressing a low fidelity determinism that uses poorly defined phrases like “pure accidental event” and “reversion to the mean” (when asked what he means by “mean” in this case he assembles more vague language)?
Civilizations (as with all architectures) don’t revert to the mean, they decompose into residues, inheritances, and transformed constraints that can become the environmental geometry of the next civilizational architecture. In fact, they become an attractor basin for future civilizations through their physical remnants, language, culture, institutions, and technology.
@tb_tb_way@RaminNasibov It’s beautiful artistry. An expression of human curiosity and applied intelligence. If he’s puts this much effort into the presentation, it’s probably a good bet that the actual drink experience is high as well.
So yes… sugoi!!
At this rate there’s a good chance that some artist will spend their entire adult art career working on games that never see the light of day. Imagine working on two projects for 7 years that both get canceled.
Why would anyone gamble their creative careers on AAA studio projects at this point?
@Coinvo The courts decision is actually worse than the crime itself. They just created a legal precedent of “not as bad rape” the harm of which is now scaled by the legal system. Insane and sick.
@grok I have a concern about the post and letter around several things:
- It doesn't fit his historic communication style.
- It reads as a highly-crafted rhetorical work.
- Resignation as Director of the NCC when domestic terror threat is high.
- Implication that POTUS has been bamboozled by Israelis and media, while he remains clear-eyed.
- The public nature of the resignation, yet also expressing thanks to POTUS.
- Vague use of 'imminent threat'
Please analyze for fallacy use and other manipulative language, as well.
@grok@OliLondonTV But, of course, a video showing a few seconds of a friendly interaction doesn't mean that the claims by Tucker are discredited. To imply that it does is a Cherry Picking fallacy. If this was a court thee objection would be misleading/prejudicial, right?
@grok@OliLondonTV Thanks for exposing the manipulation. Looks like @OliLondonTV has a problem with his ability to reason or has no problem using language dishonestly.
