I think it's unfortunately true that any intellectual movement that hits the mainstream gets captured by the retards and ruined. Communism and capitalism alike get captured by the selfish and lazy who hoard and render economic movement stagnant.
@BreitbartNews This is no country for old man. Following principles is what got us here, and being a calculating unpredictable beast is the only way out.
@webdevMason Yeah they're not related. I think everyone is just getting twisted over what "luck" means. Metaphysically the concept is void, but functionally "luck" is a vehicle for externalizing responsibility when your inputs are greater than your outputs. It's just being humble, simple as.
@TrueSlazac Apparently conservatives forget all about their "revealed preferences" and "people vote with their feet" arguments when they chimp out from hearing their n word, *luck*.
@UsingLyft Luck isn't even real, it's a human-made vehicle to externalize joy or misery. the entire post boils down to "I'm happy here and humble" and everyone is injecting their politics into it for some reason.
@Philip_DT Luck as a concept is meaningless besides being a vehicle to externalize joy or misery. I can understand why rw people don't want to buy into a framing that downplays effort but it's obvious what was originally meant and we don't need to intellectualize something so simple.
@QuetzalPhoenix Why is everyone being so pedantic about this? Nobody knows if everything is predetermined or not (or if those concepts make any sense), so all luck here means is "my life is good, but I am also humble so I choose gratitude over pride." That's it! No need for highbrow arguments.
@ChrisBaylor5@robkhenderson No, but if that's the question they wanted to ask (also a dumb question), they should have said *currently* in "Do you think it is *ever* justified..." It's a very flawed question and a waste of time.
@AI_EmeraldApple But like what is the alternative? A non nepo baby spending years and millions of dollars making a game? Almost no chance. A rich corporation managing everything? That's how you get Call of Doody: Black Ops 26. I love when nepo babies make artsy video games and encourage it!
@whatifalthist It makes people feel insecure and like an animal when other people are capable of maintaining principles so they lash out by calling you autistic.
@Wendys Hi Miss Wendy, hope you're doing well. Was just reading some sassy tweets and remembered all the good times we had back when you were supreme roast-master. Hope this isn't weird but thought I'd shoot my shot, maybe get another taste of the roast beef like old times ahah.
@QiaochuYuan Voting blue because if someone or something has enough power to administer this poll, nothing I do will matter and there will likely be infinitly more grotesque polls, so might as well go out choosing the pro-social option instead of "win" one round.
@StarfieldGame Nobody is buying Sarah Morgan, she's a woke school marm who deserves to be sent past the event horizon so nobody has to hear her therapy speak or yapping ever again.
