Good news, we are on a good track to do jack shit about the climate and also severely cutting into rule of law and right to protest. Hooray.
Luckily, there is nothing you could do to change things, ever. It must be nice to have a clear conscience.
It is one thing I learned during Corona: a lot of people don’t give a shit about erosion of fundamental rights or people dying horribly. But don’t you dare inconvenience them in their god-given right to party on and pretend all is well.
If nobody bought iPhones, would Apple exist?
Yes. It does not work without severely limiting what people are allowed to say. I do believe anonymous communities don’t work without moderation, but I also believe blanket censorship is bad.
I have no good answer :(
The oil industry exists because people demand oil. Period.
I am mildly inconvenicenced for a short term, I demand to restrict basic freedoms and go for the highest sentence!
God help I even change my life a little to protect the life of literally billions of people.
I don’t think there is a way to have real time moderation without having bs like pre-approval of messages or AI snake oil. Which I am strongly against.
I had seen the original talk and was shocked how little regulators seem to care. Especially in the post-stuxnet world, with a second cold war being in full swing.
For some god-forsaken reason, planes are often cheaper
I feel like tankie is a very precise term for the kind of “communists” that cheer when people get run over by tanks. Therefore, a good test to see if someone just cheers for “imperialism but red” or genuinely cares about liberation.
Which is why it is targeted. If it is not targeted enough, share more data, peasant.
Late comment, by have you considered that psychology will always messy, because humans are complicated?
I am not arguing that historically, it was always right. Science is done by humans, and as you said, humans may be biased, lazy, or maybe just plain corrupt or racist. That does not invalidate the method. A car mechanic can break your tires during maintenance. That doesn’t mean you should never have your car checked. Especially since you are the car, trying to fix itself.
Also, what you describe is a perfect example of the prisoner’s dilemma. The prisoner’s dilemma is not a rule or natural law, not even a prediction. It is a thought experiment, to reduce many complex problems to a simple one. You both trusted each other, so you both chose to play in a certain way. Congrats, just like the thought experiment predicted.
Besides, what is the alternative to trying to put some scientific method into it? Voodoo and evil spirits?
I fully agree, but I would be extremely surprised if they didn’t have transport encryption. Just no E2E, meaning that anyone who can get access to or impersonate the servers can read all your messages.
So the obvious trick is to give your money away while you still can
Encryption sucks and used to be a complete joke when it started
*has no end-to-end encryption by default.
Also, they used to really suck at encryption back in the days, and haven’t really earned my trust back.
In my place, you can either accept the inheritance in full (including debts) or decline in full. So you cannot say that you keep the car but won’t pay the loan.
Huh. What the hell is the context for that?
Kindly ask them about the current prognoses, like the Club of Rome one, the expected number of climate refugees in the next decades, and how well we are on track to hit any climate goal. And then about a protest form that will actually work and stop unprecedented human suffering.
