Econometrics prof didn't think I'd actually do it. +1pp, locked in. Honestly would've done it for 0pp.

Concerning findings. Automation can raise productivity while simultaneously eroding worker rents and wages, widening inequality and weakening the link between productivity growth and worker compensation.

@DavidRland Dude needs therapy.

@emuse1955 @SpeedWatkins @TheFreeWillHoax Grant "infinite offense." So what? Punishment tracks culpability, not just the victim's rank. We bound desert by capacity and comprehension everywhere else. No finite agent can intend infinite harm,and against an impassible God,none is inflicted. What is the eternal penalty for?

The MAGA influencer email went out.

@djdaveydave1 @emuse1955 Same re-hashed nonsense that's been refuted ad nauseam by the likes of David Bentley Hart, Thomas Talbott, Marilyn McCord Adams, Jonathan Kvanvig, ect.

@agusofpare @emuse1955 @PhilosopherMKD @RandalRauser You’ve missed the point. I’m not claiming Christians approved of every form of slavery. I’m saying they regarded some forms as morally permissible. That’s exactly why ‘this was historically orthodox’ is not, by itself, a moral argument.

[Noah Opmeer @Econonoah]

@emuse1955 @PhilosopherMKD @RandalRauser Slavery being morally permissible was also ‘in vogue’ among Christians for much of Christian history. Historical popularity isn’t a moral argument.

@gavinortlund But “God” is just the predicate here. The logic doesn’t depend on divinity. Substitute “prophet”: Muhammad’s claim was true, knowingly false, or sincerely mistaken. The issue is whether those options are exhaustive, not whether the claim is to be God.

[Noah Opmeer @Econonoah]

@gavinortlund But with muhammad claiming to be a prophet in this case.

[Noah Opmeer @Econonoah]

@gavinortlund Muslims can and do make the same argument for Muhammad.

@MatthewHartke Not just that, Muse has also been shown numerous times the issues with his arguments and claims and doesn't seem to care. All that matters is how many converts you can win over with your sophistry I guess. No humility or integrity.

[Noah Opmeer @Econonoah]

@deusimpera The amount of converts to Islam I've seen who claim the Quran's inimitability "miracle" made them become muslim would beg to differ.

[Noah Opmeer @Econonoah]

@Benthamsbulldog @WriterJohnBuck No I didn't

@No5mallf3at @waldenpod Nobody says Peano made it true. He wrote down what "number" and "addition" already meant. Euclid had the concepts, just not regimented. Codifying a commitment isn't the same as creating it.

@No5mallf3at @waldenpod Axioms. In particular, The Peano Axioms.
