Oh I meant something like equality of condition.

No it’s testing who copy-pasted a highly rated solution.

Who is to say it is destructive and toxic? Elders who lack emotional context and for whom it quickly makes anxious? The same was said by elders when DND and comic books came about.…

You stopped short of detailing the well documented part of 50 people chipping in 25k. That alone is a testament to how the country has changed. How many McDonalds burger flippers h…

Isn’t that exactly what they’re optimizing for. They don’t want thinkers who re-invent the wheel?

Who is them? A UBI is going to normalize condition and make “them” see there’s even more to participate in. Sounds like you still prefer maintenance of a steerage class, assuming y…

I was referring to users choice of TikTok, not the “content of” TikTok. Why should the US government decide which apps free people download? Free people ostensibly have no obligati…

I see a free market of ideas at work. Why is the US government as-is a rational actor to get behind? More of its citizens in prison than China, it’s citizens vote against supportin…

Yes, this. If I think it will take 2 days, I say 3 and hand off on day 3. Numbers are just examples. I get half up front, half on delivery. Trying to juggle a set of rules for when…
