It’s the people who love to talk about strict types that tend to be the problem

Whoosh

He won’t, at least one person in his administration knows that’s a fast track to civil war. We didn’t love those leaders dearly, but we recognize that they did their duty more or less honorably and patriotically. They are much more useful to Trump as scapegoats than martyrs.

Author is one step away from the realization that Capitalism is the culprit, and technology is just the vector.

Sorry but no? “Voters” means the same thing in both cases, that’s how statistics works. You take a small subset of people and try to control for as much as possible to make it an accurate representation of the greater population. Nobody actually knows what Voters in the abstract think if they don’t vote or answer polls

Yes. And the original poll estimated that 41% of voters under 30 approved of Mangione’s actions. My point is statistics are more valuable and informative when you try your best to compare apples to apples.

Yes but a more direct comparison would be to voters under 30. Around 46% of 18-29 yr. olds supported Trump.

It’s fine that you don’t understand. I know plenty of non-religious people who were able to find their own meaning in those words

It takes conscious effort to be in touch with your deeper thoughts and emotions, so in a sense yes. Not everything that is known to the self is known to the conscious mind. Didn’t think that would be controversial.

Dunno what you’re on about, makes complete sense to me. Just requires some mental flexibility.

It’s simpler than all that. Satanists would say God is just You, or some version of yourself that is all the things you wish you could be. The fact that you are there praying means you have a good idea of what needs to change, and are searching for the strength within yourself.

It’s a handy way to convert any value to a Boolean. If window.chrome is defined and done non-empty value, double negation turns it into just true.

What part about our reaction, or Luigi’s, is stupid? Is it maybe, just maybe, totally justifiable anger?

I’m not making an argument for the technology or the veracity of the claims, I was literally just pointing out the misunderstanding.

3% false negatives, not false positives.

I mostly agree with you, but economics is at best a heaping tablespoon of math and a sack of human behavioral psychology. Those guys really only know what’s going on 6 months after it happened.

Wrong. Talk to him every day. Hang out on some weekends, and become friends. Plant subtle notions of egalitarianism through your friendship and generosity. Ask him thought questions about his beliefs, but not in an accusatory manner. Teach him to actually think for himself, to keep an open mind, to seek evidence rather than faith to form convictions. Slowly show him by example what it means to be a good person who cares for their fellow human beings.

Then you plant some drugs on him while at work, and call HR with your suspicions.

This is the New McCarthyism, there’s a different enemy now didn’t you hear?

I’m actually surprised at how little they spend on lobbying, even with the recent uptick. It must be the other thing, you know, our representatives are shareholders.

Damn me neither
