My guess would be "statism". It could be defined as the belief that political power should be used to fix societal problems, even though they were caused by it in the first place.

And the government gives a fuck when suppressing dissent?

> I must agree with even though I don't want to. Microsoft seems to legitimately changing its behavior. But you don't think they're doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, …

Does anyone believe they've actually stopped?

No, we need to stop believing that we need to be ruled over by a bunch of psychopaths.

And the US police state will be happily data-mining everyone's photos for facial recognition data and your social graph.

Do you seriously think you've refuted Hazlitt by calling his article "drivel"? It's clearly not drivel, and clearly not unintelligent either, by the way. Yeah that's just my claim …

Instead of "common sense", it's more like "popular opinion". Reason, logic, and sensibility all remain the same regardless.

How are "Watchdogs" working out for humanity so far?

Yes, they're developing tools for war and tyranny. For example, why else would their robots need to be able to move in "rough terrain"? Watching those videos was vaguely sickening.…

We'd expect the police to do their best to catch the filthy criminals, just like in the movies!

Because due process doesn't apply when your rulers don't want it to.

.. And he'd know because he can see the future!

Can the EFF be that blind, or are they spewing propaganda? They seem to think that the NSA is not spying on Americans - just because they say so, of course - even though that's a c…

It all makes more sense when you see they're all psychopaths.

One's home is, demonstrably, not sacrosanct anymore. Welcome to the United Soviet States of America. This (too?) will sound like hyperbole, but.. get out while you can. Look, the s…

You do know laws don't apply to rulers, but only their subjects, don't you? Don't you think the all-encompassing surveillance violates the 4th Amendment? It's clearly unconstitutio…

Is anyone surprised by this? Imagine Stalin telling his subjects that he'll only spy on some of their communications - only the ones that are important to "national security" .. do…

That's misleading. It's not that everyone keeps choosing to use USD. They're all forced to pay taxes in USD too. If they weren't, they'd prefer a currency that can't be manipulated…

Well, that's an obvious cop-out. Of course, that's what people typically do when they have no chance of winning a debate.

How the hell would it reduce it either? If there was only one organization in the world doing AI, then you could maybe bribe them to take a break or something. The only way to guar…

I doubt he can really believe that dropping 10M on a project will somehow prevent Skynet from happening. AI will just get nasty, or it won't. No one knows.

Well, I just responded to your other post, where you were economically confused :) Velocity of money? Concomitant effects, huh? .. I suspect you might be some sort of government sh…

I'm suggesting you just listen to what they're saying and swiftly conclude that everything they say makes sense (because you're not an idiot).
