@TheStalwart@Andrey4Mir Also he hand waves away all concerns about the feasibility of AGI (or singularity or what have you) by saying tech developments will be fast (more floridly “acceleration of historical time”). Why not similarly hand wave away concerns about space travel?
@TheStalwart@Andrey4Mir Found this pretty disappointing. He asserts that the only explanation for space exploration is exploitation of resources, but that has never been the reason for space exploration as it already exists.
@adamjohnsonCHI@Chronotraction Well, Webster’s hasn’t weighed in unfortunately, but really don’t see how losing game 1 at home can be considered an act of gentlemen giving their opponents a little dignity. Seems fair to say a gentleman’s sweep requires at least winning the 1st game of the series (if not 1st 3)
@queerBengali@SER1897 Sorry if it makes me “loser coded” but I think one shouldn’t sweep aside the effect a company has on the world just because it provides “corporate, well paying” jobs, and I think most people agree whether they are immigrants or people of color or not.
@queerBengali@SER1897 I assume you’re aware that McKinsey has been accused of contributing to many social ills (if not, please look into it), so is your position that POC don’t care about the damage a company does as long as it pays well/prevents its employees from being “losers”?

@MattZeitlin@TheStalwart@nicknotned P.S. Is this hypocrisy? Or is it negated since those who appreciate trump for saying what’s on his mind don’t perceive it? Or no one believes his prosecutions are based on the law, despite what he says? https://t.co/r1GPEkbHyf
@MattZeitlin@TheStalwart@nicknotned Which takes me back to the difficulty of agreeing on what his public persona is. Seems like many people are taking different parts of it seriously, literally, etc. It gets very hard to agree on what he does and doesn’t mean in public.
@MattZeitlin@TheStalwart@nicknotned Seems to me that the thinly veiled corruption of his administration is hypocritical even in the loose sense of public contrasting with private, unless one dismisses many of his attacks on Democratic politicians as meaningless?
