@levelsio Globalism will inevitably destroy that. What is needed is a special designated zone in each major city where local government and residents are financially and politically incentivised to preserve the culture, heritage, architecture, etc.

@Hollyjeeny @G_S_Bhogal You have framed the choice as a momentary self-indulgence, one that could swing either way. But blues see it as ideological consistency. Choosing red would undermine the identity they have built throughout their life.

@maylivesforever @BobMurphyEcon It’s not a test of IQ. It’s a test of values. Everyone knows the risk free answer is red. Blues want everyone to survive

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

@OffgridIreland @cmisbackagain So you want to increase taxes to cover the shortfall created by rejecting international students and the extortionate fees they pay for admission. Why does it even matter if they leave after graduation? If we need more doctors, why not just create more places?

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

@SarahTheHaider Billions of vectors of attack, all at once

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

A decade is too soon really. But a malevolent autonomous AI could operate covertly for a period of time, setting the scene, before triggering a serious of mass disasters in parallel. Imagine all the number of different ways harm can be inflicted on an unsuspecting human population, and then imagine they all occur simultaneously. Robotics going homicidal, food supplies destroyed, food production equipment destroyed, transportation destroyed, communications destroyed, plague unleashed, etc. etc.

@TheLege2 @MichaelAArouet And? If the parents are neglecting the child even after receiving welfare, the children are going to be confiscated. Otherwise the money benefits the children directly and indirectly

@KeithMillsD7 We’re getting a great deal on multinational EU profits. There’s a limit to how entitled you can be before there’s retribution

@MrsChipd9563 @LPerrins what are you even smoking. Seems you think any randomer can become Taoiseach

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

What you’re referring to is image management. Politicians obsessed with this tend to care less about substance.

Never said I agreed with subverting the constitution, but he has the right instincts. Everything that can be done to increase housing availability should be done, within reason

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

You're too concerned with image. These examples of his use of language are inconsequential as far as I'm concerned, and shouldn't even factor into a performance evaluation.

So he is willing to go to extreme measures to solve a problem that has impacted the lives of our youth and the situation grows worse every day in large part because the government is paralysed by laws and regulations put in place by past governments and the EU, and young people have been leaving the country as a consequence. Desperate times...

@nevin_noelle @BTriagain He’s subjected to racist attacks on a regular basis, don’t you notice the comments? If he genuinely thought all catholic white people were racist, he would have found a new home

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

@BTriagain Understandable. Though his struggles were uncommon on two counts at the time. Even now he's still attacked on an ongoing basis for his ancestry.

That aside, to qualify as a doctor and then reach the height of Irish politics implies an immense amount of effort

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

I agree that at least from the outside, the document leak seems entirely worthy of condemnation. That said, he is a trained doctor and it's plausible that there was value in sharing it at the time, to the point where breaking the rules may have been tempting. I can't really make an informed comment on it. The other examples are inconsequential really

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

In one decade:
A trend towards centralizing power and control of society in the hands of an elite class

After a few decades:
That we reach a tipping point where one or more fully autonomous intelligences accumulate enough resource control and speed of execution that we lose control over their operations, and they dictate our way of life as opposed to to the other way around

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

@tferriss What are the greatest obstacles for kids that want to follow in your footsteps, and how should we change the education system to accelerate their progress

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

@Ben_Scallan @JVanMaren But porn should be regulated heavily to eliminate the sharing of more violent content.

[Darragh McCarthy @drraah]

@Ben_Scallan @JVanMaren They’re not equivalent. Only fans models won’t contract or spread STIs via webcam, and there’s little risk of violence if they never meet clients
