Noe one is my enemy, but the people are absolutely guilty. The information was always out there, the fact they chose to seek out lies on both sides, and willingly make them up themselves (as I constantly witness) makes them just as guilty of the situation we are in.
@kcsorenby Yes we have a democracy that is crashing, I totally agree. We had a democracy thhat was crashing under Senile Biden, we also had a democracy that was crashing when we had little-kid-usa-citizen-murdering-with-drones Obama, and just as we had democracy crashing with Patriot Act Bush.... Democracy has been crashing consistently since 911, and the problem everyone thinks its one party or the other when in fact both parties are equally guilty and voting or either party is a disgrace.= since 911 onward.
Huh? No I hate what I got, I also hate what I had. I voted for the only choice I'd like along with the other 1% - 2% of the population that arent the problem.
Idle? During his presidency there were constant riots, the philadelphia skys were black with fires for weeks while the left was being "too idle"... Unlike you I was living in america half the year during both presidencies...
So being radical got us Trump and your response is to be more radical? I suppose thats one way to ensure the dictator takes absolute control and wins, thanks.
Even the liberals in the USA are fed up with the liberals, I cant tell you how many people I know who are not remotely racist but voted for Trump simply because of the way the liberals behaved. Most of them just are tired of their children starving to death under Biden and will take "grab em by the pussy" over their children starving.

@TheOldGuy For years now I pay less by paying cash and skipping insurance than using insurance. Not to mention insurance refuses to cover virtually all of my requests.
worst part, I'm required to have it since obama care.
Yea im ready for them to abolish it and start over.
@TheOldGuy /Robert Reich is the example of what you get when you completely disregard the science and entirely pander for followers... I sprain my eyes with eye rolls with the majority of his stuff.
@louis You dont feed it on sylallbals, you feed if it on stemmed words..
so: hyperaldosteronism -> hyper- aldosterone -ism
Basically you separate the prefix and suffix and treat those as sperate words, keep the base word as one worrd.
This is for english, there may be languages where sylable per-idea works , but in english the idea of a word usually comes from just the break I mentioned.
@louis SLM already exists, it stands for Small Language Model.
But you arent too far off. LLMs are just the language part of the brain, if you somehow could remove someones language centers only and make them play, I bet they would sound like an LLM.. no reason, no logical, its only skill is forming nice looking sentences. What you have yet to see is the rest of the brain hooked up.
II agree we need to look at the long term first and the short terma s only a temporary easement not a solution. I also agree this is a huge problem with people prioritizing short term fixes that have long term harm.
For me minimum wage is a great example of something that intends to have short term benefit (but it doesnt even do that) but long term causes more harm. Where actually improving the marketablility of people through training is a far better solution.
Im sure some people might say that, but no thats not what I mean when I see free market. A free market is a market not under control of any of the players in said market. AS in it is a neutral and equal territory. That means the things I said, it doesnt mean "do nothing of anykind" thats not what free means (though again im sure some people share your opinion).
@wjmaggos Free market means a market where prices are adjusted freely due to their natural supply/demand.. In other words, a market where all players are on equal footing.
So that would mean the sort of things intervention is ok for:
1) Stopping monopolies from controlling the market
2) Prevent price fixing of markets by collaborating groups (aggregate monopolies basically)
3) Addressing the fact the medicare by its nature has a broken supply-demand curve, so things that fix that curve.
etc
Now id also be ok with the market spending taxes in general on anything that has a ROI on that money. So for example things like free education, I'd be fine with that because its a wise ROI.
@wjmaggos Any intervantions needed to ensure a free market.
Not if my company has anything to do with it. Ethics is a focus we put right on our front page. We even spun out a nonprofit whose whole job is to address ethics with regard to the evolution of AGI
@stux Well consiodering my company is already benefiting from this I dont mind **that much**... But i still dont like the orange one :)
Ya know, im not sure how many R leaders actually know he is wrong... I mean **I** know he is wrong, and I am sure **you** know he is wrong... But im honestly not so sure if the R leaders are aware of this. I think their just all on board and ready to go with a smile on their face for most of this.
