Memetic hazard.

Revealing much?

I actually really want to test your theory on myself. . . I wonder how I could best do that.

It's not that easy. The deeper issue is plurality voting and duverger's law, with people being incentivized not to vote for something but to vote against a perceived evil, as that'…

It is telling that you considered their post to be about class warfare rather than different values. The original focus of this thread was on technical precision vs. market efficie…

Harm to the creators is eventual harm to the users if it results in some of the creators they enjoyed watching no longer being sustainable.

You're underestimating how much the media landscape has changed, and the groundwork being laid even within the states themselves.

> The US is not a one party state so its direction on these questions may be unclear for a while, but I think I know how Trump, Gabbard, Rubio etc. will answer that question as the…

Ranked choice for single-seat elections can create situations where your ballot backfires, which is why it has been tried and rolled back. It works for proportional representation,…

When the only perceived means of winning is making others lose, most people are going to lose. The US should never have used plurality voting. It functions as the inputs to the Nas…

That's a convenient narrative but it overlooks the desire to prevent normalization of hostile takeovers. Russia tried to pretend that its satellite states and NATO were similar arr…

Voting within the plurality system gave voters access only to the inputs of the Nash Equilibrium decision matrix, not the outputs. All it took was everyone being focused on winning…

Doing this while the runtime learning is not yet developed means unleashing the equivalent of something between a toddler and young adult without the ability to progress through th…

Reminds me of wearing non-prescription sunglasses despite having myopia. It feels like the blurring of the world is due to the glasses, even though they're actually only blocking s…

This ties in with something that took me far too long to recognize: Trust has two pillars. One pillar is alignment of values, and therefore intent. The other pillar is competence. …

If you think Trump is actually in charge when he's signing all those executive orders being handed to him and-- Anyway, he's not the real power, here.

Or if a government funding bill threatens it.

It was a move by the political parties to campaign on social wedge issues and ignore economic ones.

The reason it's defensible is that now checks and balances are gone because there aren't even token checks/balances from partisanship--the remaining functions of government are con…

Trump was surrounded by establishment Republicans last time. This time no checks and balances exist within the administration, and the supreme court has been turned. I wish I could…

Some people form a belief and then look for evidence to support it, others look at the evidence and check for inconsistencies before getting attached to a belief. "Nobody" wants Tr…

The entire government was intended to have 3 competing branches keeping each other's desire for power balanced against one another. Unfortunately, Duverger's Law (splitting votes r…

Seemingly tiny, inconsequential stories like this can add up. This sends a signal, and could hint at things to come.
