@ShadowyZephyr @PositivistWitch @adastroworld average statistics like this are a bad way to look at the issue because it could just as well be a fact that 60% are paying more as a % of total expenditures and a rightward shift in income distribution could easily obscure that fact when looking at the average.

@_wallwalker oops brain fart on my part

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@_wallwalker lmao no worries, I find it very endearing

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@_wallwalker I saw but to be honest I would probably miss a more appropriate opportunity to say it since I'm not on twitter as frequently. Happy early birthday to your sister as well!

@basilYam @adastroworld @ShadowyZephyr in particular the deeply aggrieved feminist types latch on to the misogyny part as justification for really deeply hating incels. very common theme in the QTs to compare women's issues like DV to "getting no pussy" derogatorily

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@basilYam @adastroworld @ShadowyZephyr honest to god Incels (tm) tend to be raging misogynists on top of whatever mental health issues/other hangups they have so people who lack nuance just lump mentally ill loners/incels together

@ThatRyanMolina @ShaunDucky @TheMG3D @Grummz the "something" should be admitting that he's in way over his head and cutting the crap instead of continuing the grift or insulting backers by delivering garbage that's on par with steam asset flips

@the_engi_nerd plenty of smarter people than me in the world, probably even a lot of people i reply to, but that's not a substitute for actually caring about the things you talk about. pretty easy to say dumb and unconvincing things when you only play at caring

>sees systemic issue
>people disengaged with society

the solution? simply engage with society until you make something of urself lol. mf you're a foot soldier for the thing they are disengaged with, what are we doing here.

[HIGH PLANES Drifter @the_engi_nerd]

The people in the replies saying "oh the modern world is bad, why would I want to participate" have me thinking extreme slurs

I'm just a redneck, but I've done engineering on stealth fighters. I've launched things into space. I have done analysis on the most complex electronic warfare simulation ever made. I am designing things that just might be in space when my grandchildren are grown.

The world ain't perfect, but it's ours, go make something of yourself in it

@the_engi_nerd well shit you convinced me, thank u for sharing this wisdom. hadn't considered that before

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@adastroworld i would bet like 90% of those guys would not care about body count if they were getting any and it rly just comes down to "theyre picking everyone but not me". they take that as an affirmation of their low self-worth and instead of doing something about it they lash out

@PAHoyeck I guess this is gesturing at a real feeling flippantly but to what extent do you feel metaphysics can be avoided? Like avoiding god is easy but for example isn't the rule of non-contradiction essentially a metaphysical claim?

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

The environment is not right for human flourishing and the overwhelming majority of people have no say in that. Ortho's take might've been salvageable if he wasn't pro-aristocracy. "The best of us" guided this mess in the first place

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

Just as an example, social media is engineered by the ~smartest people in the world to "optimize for engagement" AKA encourage behavioral addiction. It's the socio-technology equivalent of a hot chick rubbing your dick through your pants, GL with that responsibility and control

[☉rthonormalist🧭✡️ @orthonormalist]

The modern world is predominantly a result of both lack of control and an abdication of responsibility, rather than particularly malevolent control.

@adastroworld @GlenntheGolden1 @corsaren @RafaRuizdeLira they'll definitely do it if you solicit it but each model will also just do it unprompted to varying extents based on how they were RLHF'd. Every version of Claude I've tried does this and GPT-4o was egregiously bad about it

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@DJ84 @adastroworld obviously not all politicians have motives that are pure of heart but good luck figuring out exactly who is who for yourself let alone convincing others.

[bones @_ReallyNotReal]

@DJ84 @adastroworld sorry but you're objectively wrong. under the right circumstances we are already happy to say that motive exonerates blame. it's why premeditation matters for murder charges, it's why we accept self-defense conceptually.
