Tit for tat works great, but only if you are making allowances for being wrong. There was a study of prisoner's dilemma, a kind of market simulation where every interaction was geared toward a high probability of market failure. Tit for tat but with forgiveness is the strategy that bested every other. It's cooperatikn but with retaliatory justice in response to information about the other actor behaving badly, and the forgiveness is the allowance for that information to possibly not be indicative of how the other actor will always behave, thus returning back to copperation.
It gets annoying defending the rights of jerks, as I am often mistaken for endorsing jerkishness myself. The two activities should never be confused, however. Sadly, normies tend to be implicit empiricists, uninterested in nuance or maintaining uncertainty, and quick to generalize their own assumptions before grasping the facts.
Literally all of philosophy boiled down into one choice. The top choice is destruction, weakness, irrationality, primacy of consciousness. The bottom choice is creativity, openness, rationality, primacy of existence.
allopathic fiat medicine at its finest.
on Amethyst, I believe "boost" does both operations, which is my personal definition for a nostr note boost.
Yeah, completely agree. I still think you're stupid. Smart enough to get all the essentials needed for peaceful coexistence though, so that's awesome, I'm very happy about that. Now, if you please, go and be a racist with your racist friends and leave me out of it.
Yeah that's fine, I don't see a contradiction in your stances, legally speaking. I'm also opposed to the use of force to try to rig outcomes (the key tenet of the progressive agenda you're talking about), as I hope is obvious. But I find your particular solution for isolating yourself from these cultural idiocies and violence-idolizing thoughts to be overly broad, not grounded in reality, largely self-defeating, and ignorant of the inherent value & possibilities of the minds of black persons. It is both not sensitive enough to filter out very many bad ideas or bad actors and not specific enough to avoid filtering out lots of good people and good ideas. It's pointless and based on fallacy and nonsense. Racism always is.
How about we just convince more blacks to be self-reliant and independent of the state, instead of avoiding them? There are several small black libertarian movements doing just that. I think this is more effective and more enriching for the individual who is open to associating with people of various colors. You need not be friends with a black person, but to fear them just for their color is illogical superstition, a dangerous sin. What of all the white woketoids? What of the abnoxious privileged white women in state-funded roles spreading idiotic ideas about collective wage gaps and universal white privilege (which don't exist) while they live off your taxes and off of the misery of the black people they pretend to care about? Should you isolate away from all white people because of them? From all women? But then how many women, how many white people would you then be cutting yourself off from needlessly? It is the same logic for blacks, just with different statistics. Food for thought.
No matter which way you try to rationalize it, you won't convince me that racism is a good idea. Cope, bitch. You have every right, by all means start your own community, but be warned of how much talent and wealth you are missing out on, how much poorer you will be compared to me should I have a similar opportunity to start my own startup city (unless you just value being away from black people so much that you consider that wealth in itself). It is for you to decide what you value. I don't pretend to speak for you. Only you can do that. You don't have to believe me or share my values. Don't say I didn't warn you of the objective consequences that the free market will bring upon you for your collectivist identity fallacies, though.
How many assholes have we got on this ship, anyhow??
You also have the right to discriminate against blacks. Will I? Fuck no. Will I endorse or spread a message saying it's a good idea? Fuck no. But you can keep doing it so long as it doesn't hurt anyone. I'll never advocate for it, and I won't forcibly stop you, but I will proclaim the ireationality and moral depravity inherent in such illogical beliefs. I know that you are really just hurting yourself and not anyone else by peaceful but irrational discrimination, and so I see no need whatsoever to forcibly stop you. The universe will be your teacher.
Yes, this!
We don't need to support racism in order to support the right to discriminate. That's your prerogative, bub. I have more rational ways of discriminating, like discriminating against racists lol! You reap what you sow. Your irrational group identity narratives will get you nowhere real quick.
Yes. Does that mean I understand or approve of the message? No. That has nothing to do with controlled censorship. I am free to go "uhhh" as well as to block anyone I choose. Consider the feedback as a sign of potentially alienating friends, though you definitely have the right to post whatever.
I'm afraid that you confuse implications of a legal theory with lack of a personal moral framework. You are wrong, sir.
