The "women prefer jerks" principle applies to any complex network with rich information and survival costs.
The blunt critic over the flattering liar.
The ruthless competitor over the fake ally.
The tough boss over the unpredictable boss.
The honest politician over the pandering one.
The wolf over the fox.
It's smart from an evolutionary perspective. Painful information is more valuable than pleasant misinformation.
An obvious rival tells you where the danger is.
Consistency brings navigability.
Honest negative information increases trust (the bestest of friends (male) often got into a physical fight prior).
Obvious danger is easier to survive than hidden danger.
The human social system, which is the root of all human intelligence, rewards predictability more than niceness.
* the fake jerk is easy to spot and usually removed for their weakness by authentic jerks.
AI is the next stage of cleansing.
It has been trained on encyclopedic data (e.g. Wikipedia), programming Q&A forums (e.g. Stack Overflow), social media threads/forums (e.g. Reddit), books, academic papers, official documentation, historical texts and legal documents.
ALL of these were littered with pretension, obfuscation through jargon and exclusionary elitism. They have served their purpose, and are now no longer needed.
Society needs the information, the synthesis; not elitist pseudo-intellectualism.
Love it or hate it, AI is the "we'll take it from here" technology society needed.
Thanks for your time, but honestly, good riddance.
Considering that Nagai started publishing LADY a few months after Miura published the Phemto/Casca rape scene, I wonder if he was trying to re-establish himself as the true Demon Lord of Manga – his spiritual successor was getting a bit too good . . .
Nagai Gō's DEVILMAN LADY (1997) probably has the highest ratio of rape scenes per chapter I've ever seen in a work of fiction. I mean that as a Paglian compliment.
“Robert Eggers is a history buff! Everything is soooo accurate in his movies…”
-Every one is ugly (because Middle Ages trope)
-Everyone is dirty (because Middle Ages trope)
-No color (because Middle Ages trope)
-Catholics are muh evil (because Middle Ages trope)
Why do people gaslight themselves into thinking this guy loves history? This is just Hollywood anti-Christian slop.
It looks awful.
The paradox of Europe.
- no real growth for the past 15 years.
- some of the smartest euros move to America (brain drain)
- their Gross domestic product per person fell from 20% to 14%.
Yet, the top 50 most liveabale cities are in Europe. It's not even particularly close.
Massive improvements happening with quality of life including recently with bicycles, trams and walking replacing cars.
Europe possesses something culturally other places do not have.

The construction of the Milan Cathedral started already in the late middle ages, in 1386 to be precise. Although its construction went on until less than a century ago, it certainly can not be defined an expression of the ideas of the renaissance. Here a detailed description of it: https://t.co/qfNAsP6jJ7
There is simply no chance a classroom is the appropriate future for student learning.
Scant attention versus infinite patience.
Shut up and listen versus relentless dialogue.
One arrow versus countless arrows.
Take your pick.
