“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”

@louis yea i think there are people who plan ahead and do well, and those that dont. Largely these two groups are the same even if they were behaving like a sugar baby.

@louis

Yea sugar babies/dadies are a bit different. Those are far more common to have a more feeloading kind of a scenario I agree.

Honestly in that case a person who is a sugar baby, not married, and in no way perusing a career.. yea they are kinda fucked. But if im being honest, the sort of person who would want that arrangement likely wouldnt be very good at creating a career anyway since they likely arent a very motivated person or very career oriented even without a sugar daddy.

I suspect the evolution is more like, they try to be a success in some really silly way (like influencer), everything they try fails (Cause its all stupid) and then resort to a sugar daddy out of necessity. Very few people want to be in a position that they are beholden to the generosity of another.

@louis

Nothing wrong with a prostitute if its all consenting adults, I do agree. And nothing wrong with a sugardaddy either. But yea, do whats right you thats all that matters.

Sugar babies dont necceseraly not work, though many dont. I know quite a few hookers from the netherlands as friends (its more normalized there to an extent) and many of them do it as a side job just out of love of the job. For example my one prostitute friend is a lawyer for her main job and largely does prostitution for some extra money for her hobby (ironically horse back riding, lol).

So i just redid my casual analysis... I actually change my answer and agree, Trump is the front winner now. This has only **recently** changed mind you, so what i said was correct just a few weeks back. But as of the current data today it seems Trump has a stronger lead than Harris and is more likely to win.

By the way remember, every time you state your side is likely to win it decreases your chance of winning. So being confident that your side is going to win is a guaranteed way to sabotage yourself. The more either side believes they are the winning side the less people feel motivated to actually go out and vote.

But yea a new objective read changes my answer, it seems Trump is objectively the lead for winning.

@realcaseyrollins @stux

looking at polls really means nothing without some meta analysis. Polls differ wildly in their predictions and historic accuracy... So ill try to break down my own process (done non-rigerously) as a data scientist.

1) look through metaanalysis of polls to find polls with long-history of polling across multiple presidents and most accurately predicted the output correctly
2) collect the top 3 polls that have historically correctly predicted the presidential outcome per state
3) using just those polls assume standard deviation on the output per state to identify what polls indicate certainty in prediction and which ones have an error rate where either candidate would fall within the error
4) look at the "swing" states identified and then calculate the statical outcome of either
5) total the electorial college and see if its a slam dunk for one side or likely to be a pretty tight race, the clearly the biases the more confidently i will lean towards that side.

To anyone who thinks capitalism doesnt breed innovation hasnt heard about hamster chopsticks!

@mapto Absolutely.. A company is only as good as its members.

LOL the IEEE social network wont let you send a message with "damn" in it because its a curse word according to them.. I tried to say "I have damn near everything..." in response to a question. Can't even make this shit up.

@louis A combination of factors, but primarily roads. You have to remember road building is about the building of the path itself, that isnt the most impactful part usual. The biggest impact comes from the bridge building.

That said paving roads (even with rocks) generally does mean faster travel with fewer break downs. So there is likely an effect there too. It isnt exactly minor.

Have you ever tried to travel through the woods without following a trail, particularly if its overgrown? Good luck.

As an owner in a company with nearly 25 workers, and a CTO of many larger companies I have come to realize one very important thing... Treating your employees well and generously and looking out for them is the most selfish thing a company can do for it self.

Well treated employees who are paid well, have good mental health, low stress, and work in an environment they love will stay with you, and produce far better quality work and a much higher output. If all you care about profits, then treating your employees well is the best thing you could do.
