@ForeignFeral Cause you are taking it seriously. You say you are obsessed. Because you’re a fucking faggot who is obsessed with another dude you fucking faggot. Get a life faggot.
The boomers would have spent it rather than the government taking it from them. And they would’ve been left with nothing. Because the boomers are selfish materialist and could not resist spending that taxed Social Security and instead put it into the stock market. It’s almost as a means to guarantee morons some sort of a retirement. Now it’s bankrupting the country and it’s future.
Tired of this excuse. First of all, social security is not something you “pay into.” If it were, you wouldn’t need younger people to “pay into it” in order to get your check. But you do. Because this is a Ponzi scheme, not a retirement account. What you really mean to say is that your money was stolen from you — which it was — and now you want to steal from younger people to get restitution. That’s the actual case you’re making and it’s exactly as morally deranged as it sounds.
Second, your generation continually for decades voted for politicians who would keep the scheme going. You might not have invented social security, but you damn sure made certain it kept going. Why should younger people have to pay the price for the shitty policies you supported?
Third, you “paid into” social security in a different time. The country is now bankrupted and 40 trillion dollars in debt, and basic things like housing are prohibitively expensive. It wasn’t like that when you were young, because your generation of leadership created this problem.
So the theme here is that there are a bunch of problems you guys either created or contributed to. You can choose to pay the price for that now, or force your grandchildren to pay the price so you can live comfortably until you die and leave them holding the bag. You’ve chosen the latter, and I think that’s wrong. Simple as that.
They starved a tiger for two weeks, told it everything in the cage was food, then opened the door. Now we’re supposed to panic about a universal tiger crisis.
That is @curtis_yarvin's read of the Hugging Face and Irregular "rogue agent" incidents: negligence spun as proof the machines are coming for us.
On Counterweight, he walks through the AI doomer thesis, why it's wrong, why smarter models get more controllable, not less, and the sociology of the effective altruist scene, among other topics.
