@SamyazaSpeaks @williameijer Left capture leads to despotism. Centralization is not efficient. Leftists are normally hive mind, parasitic class. Lots of leftists are low skill, low productive humans that can't compete on merit. Wrong incentives -> less reward for efficiency or hard work

@TheFirstTweet @RespectableCon You need to leave the basement once and a while. Maybe you should drop by a soup kitchen and volunteer some time. Watch Le Miserables one more time, think about the priest and his role in the whole thing.

The main difference between you and us seems to be that we just want to be left alone.
See, we're perfectly content with you getting a bunch of your buddies together, move somewhere where you're not bothered by us (and vice versa) and try to build your communist utopia.
I even wish you the best of luck!

You, on the other hand, want the whole world to change according to your designs, and if the world doesn't want to change, you're apparently happy to incinerate everything in nuclear fire.

See the difference? See why you, personally, might be the problem here?

Fernwood Bakery on Maple Street in Galveston, Texas. Every morning at 8:10, the same thing happens. The door is propped open for deliveries. A tan mixed-breed with a gray muzzle walks in. Ignores the bread. Ignores the customers. Goes directly to the owner, Rosa, 67, who lost her husband of 41 years last spring. The dog, who the staff calls Dulce, stands up and wraps both paws around Rosa's shoulders. Holds for about fifteen seconds. Then leaves. This has happened every morning for six months. Rosa told us: "I don't know where she comes from. She won't take food. She won't stay. She just comes to hug me and then goes." Her daughter said: "Dulce started coming the week after the funeral. Same time. Every single day." Some things arrive exactly when they are needed most.

Liberalism is not the default state of the world. The default is not debate and democracy and human rights. The default is raw power and nothing else. For anything better to exist, it must be insulated by a barrier, and that barrier must understand the language of violence and power. You cannot have a totally liberal society. At best, you can have a society powerful enough to sustain a little liberal sandbox inside its walls, for the sake of generating new ideas. But you must never forget that that’s all it is, and that the snarling, scratching void is forever waiting for you to lower your guard so it can devour the soft, prosperous flesh of liberalism.

The Humanities PhD plagiarism apocalypse is coming.

As the Jason Arday case shows, few expect anyone to read their thesis (in his case, even his doctoral advisors clearly didn’t).

Somebody soon is going to set AI on the millions of them; some will be read for the first time, and a list of all the plagiarists going back a century will be spat out. It will be a massacre of reputations.

The intellectual case against Marxism was won more than a century ago. The most rigorous and devastating blows came from the Austrian School of economics – but the strange part is that hardly anyone is taught the winning arguments.

Carl Menger’s subjective theory of value, developed in the 1870s, undermined the labour theory of value on which Marx built his entire system. Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk then delivered a systematic demolition of Marx’s economics, exposing the contradictions in the theory of surplus value and the so-called transformation problem. Ludwig von Mises went further still, demonstrating that rational economic calculation is impossible under socialism because without private property and market prices there is no way to allocate resources efficiently. Friedrich Hayek later extended this into the knowledge problem: the information required to run a complex economy is dispersed and cannot be centralised. And Murray Rothbard showed how Marx misunderstood the nature of capitalism by replacing voluntary exchange and entrepreneurial creation with a false theory of exploitation based on labour value and class conflict.

These were not minor objections. They struck at the theoretical foundations of Marxism and, in the case of Mises and Hayek, correctly predicted the chronic waste, shortages, and eventual collapse of socialist economies. History confirmed their arguments on a civilisational scale.

Yet in universities, media and political debate, these critiques remain marginal. Marx is still widely taught as a serious economist and social theorist. His errors are softened, historicised, or treated as interesting starting points. The Austrian responses are rarely given equal weight. Students can pass through entire programmes in the social sciences without encountering Böhm-Bawerk’s critique or Mises’s calculation argument in any depth.

This neglect is not accidental. It reflects a deeper intellectual preference for theories that pathologise markets and legitimise expanded state power. The result is a public discourse that continues to recycle Marxist categories long after their economic foundations were shown to be unsound. The cost of that selective memory is still being paid.

@terblans79249 @thefordprefect @PeterDClack Now that molten salt thorium reactors are becoming common. Only idiot luddites will oppose nuclear.

@thefordprefect @PeterDClack Nuclear waste is easily stored and contained and poses very low risk. Thank you for making the point when you compare the waste of solar panels and wind turbines filling up landfills, nuclear is way better

Bitcoin Core is bleeding node share like crazy..

Knots: 25.7% of all nodes
Knots v29.3: 21.1% - now the most run Bitcoin client version
19.5% of those Knots nodes signal RDTS which activates in ~550 blocks or 4 days, likely Saturday.

Picture Microsoft holding OS dominance for 20 years, then watching a quarter of it walk out the door in a year. There'd be emergency meetings, figuring out what they did wrong and how to win users back.
