@__Sslash@AngelicaOung@RazvenHK Easy to say from your armchair. Plus that only makes sense if you believe the alternative to be worse than death. I’m sure that’s far from the case for her.
i don’t get why nigerians are acting weird about this. i hope you people know that the expensive shit album, where this particular song andrew is vibing to comes from, is a top 100 album of the 70s and a top 500 greatest album of all time lmao
when y’all see someone with a personality you can’t relate to or understand, you immediately label them performative smh
Braced myself before opening the comments of posts with this guy but seems most Koreans on X are very accepting of him. My respect for Korea just went up!
A core tenet of fascism is to claim that all of society's problems are actually caused by a minority group, thus requiring the state to use its full power to attack that group.
No, the idea of a job is a social construct. There are more professional chess and poker players than twenty years ago despite computers being better at these things.
You can create machine that are better than humans in every way. People will still find reasons to exchange green pieces of paper and will live much better.
Jobs going away isn’t even theoretically possible, it doesn’t depend on the nature of the technology at all.
Yep. As insulated as China’s information space is, I still notice this with that age group - almost everyone is an edge lord type. Seems there is just a trend towards really shallow engagement with the world.
You’ll see some of the most fascist sounding commentary on this app and it’ll be from someone who is between the ages of 18 and 24 with an anime profile picture. Millennials weren’t like this. It’s getting worse.
@balong0991 Breaking news: there are racists in every society... But it'd be as wrong to say that all Chinese are as it is to say that "white people are the best"
Thiel brought us Trump and even admits it’s gotten out of hand (everyone with half a brain predicted this), but I guess that was an oopsie and we should keep trusting him to do “good evil”.
Get powerful enough and you’re never wrong, cause it’s not you that suffers consequences.
Okay. I’ll take the bait.
I went to work for Peter in 2013 with opposite politics.
He sat me down right at the beginning.
PETER: “I don’t want the (Thiel) Foundation to do good that the market can do. That is the job of the market. Likewise, I don’t want to do the good work that is seen as good. That work can be done by people richer, weaker and more needy of approval than we are. I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong. We strive to be both and that is where a small foundation can make the greatest positive difference. Go look for such good and let’s do that. But remember. Good has TWO different antonyms. What is “bad work”? It could be seen as shoddy work. Or it could be seen as evil work. And we can’t do shoddy work. Why? Because evil that isn’t competent never gets to be evil. It’s just pathetic. So we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work which we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.”
I thought it totally logical. So that’s the argument. And that’s classic Peter.
This is an old idea of his. And now you know.
