@mozonaut@Swarm_caste@gmiller@r0ck3t23 A LLM can't claim they understand something that cannot be understood computationally, they will be lying if they do.
@seanbax Don't be too upset, Chris Kohlhoff worker for almost 20 years on a safe networking proposal and the comittee changed its mind a adopted a less safe approach in c++26, I talk about it in this section of my article https://t.co/rhQU6PTXd8

Nobody wants to have the grown up conversation about children and taxation. Everyone just stakes out a position that financially benefits themselves and then pretends dissent is immoral and get emotional about it. People need to accept some brute facts:
1. Your taxes are spent the instant they are collected. Any government entitlement is simply you using your vote to take other people’s money for yourself
2. Spending taxpayer money on children returns many times over when they grow up and contribute to society. Spending lots of old people, although electorally savvy, has no long term impact because the recipients die a few years later
3. Those who have kids spend a huge amount of income on raising them, “paying into” the future in a meaningful way that simply paying taxes does not. Yet they receive the same welfare and healthcare provision in old age. Mathematically speaking, this is a classic free rider problem.
4. The childless, saved of this massive expense (as they sometimes take glee in reminding us) have the capacity to save a lot more, and thus prepare to fund their own retirement. Under the free rider system, it makes more sense for them to just enjoy their earnings now and sponge of other people’s children when old.
5. This is a moral hazard, a Ponzi scheme, and a dynamic that will if left unchecked lead to a decline in population and a soaring tax burden. This can’t continue forever so at some point there would be a collapse.
6. If you care about the future at all, this issue should concern you greatly.
@paulg Some people will portray their weakness as strength before making part of their identity. I have seen numerous people claiming their difficulties in finding a life partner was due to their high IQ making communication with lower IQ too hard.
@gmiller Are there studies about the size of the population with high intelligence but who has only an average IQ? You don't want to disqualify those people on the job market.
@gmiller With my brasilian friends I only exchange audio messages on whatsapp, germans on the other hand will only text me although I also interact with them using audio messages, french people likewise. Hard to understand.
