Nope. It's a push to pass nonsense without an actual bill by unelected bureaucrats before the admin changes. Won't stand up on appeal. Similar to the sec suing everyone and constantly losing and being investigated for abuses of power.
If Elon cared about free speech he would have created a decentralized platform for it that no one could control. Instead he created a walled garden that mimicked the other social networks and banked on political upheaval that he himself could influence through his own platform. He doesn't care who wins so long as he gets to build rockets on cheap labor and the left was criticizing him for not treating employees right. Given the power we now see how he acts. People who pay him get to censor others and people who point out flaws in his arguments get ridiculed and silenced. The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy once my enemy is defeated. Both sides have to destroy each other or we all lose.
More powerful is a misnomer. Bitcoin can't do anything to monero and monero can't do anything to bitcoin so your point makes no sense.
I gave you Dunbar. I gave you serotonin. I gave you my idea on social networks not being our natural state. You want charts? It's already been tested. Look it up.
It's super antagonistic and egocentric to start talking to someone as if they haven't given you everything they meant while you strawman what you think they mean and accuse them of things. And after all that say something trite like "I'm not sure you are even interested in real conversation". Umm. okay. I pretty much explained my position and when I say no it's not zero sum you just repeat yourself instead of trying to understand how it's not. How am I not being super patient with you while you act condescending? How is that not being conversational? You can't be serious. Your problem isn't comparison. Your problem is you think you are better than people who might have a different perspective than you and you hide behind your insecurities with an air of superiority.
What happens when you come across someone with no named theories? Or what happens when you come across a scammer that just makes up named theories and writes books about them? You are trying to pigeon hole me. That's the data point you are interested in. That why I refuse to name drop. I list one unapproved name and you will discredit. You already tried to say I was making this political and I have no idea why. We should be able to talk about ideas on their own. Where they came from doesn't matter to me, their merit does.
Adding ageism on top of authority fallacy is not an argument. Explain why it's zero sum. Explain why comparison has to be avoided especially in a social heirarchy and explain why the examples I gave are wrong, or I'm going to resign you to saying whatever you want to say with no real argument. So far I haven't heard anything that makes any sense besides "it makes me feel bad"...which is just evidence that you feel bad. I'm okay with that. I just thought it was a interesting subject and thought your original post was missing a lot of information when it comes to social comparisons.
Umm...if you are equating the serotonin mechanism to zero sum then you don't get what it's for and I can't really explain past that. You don't lean into anything. It's built into your head. You literally cannot not do it. I'm not interested in why you are straw manning things I'm not saying. If I don't adhere to your "anything in the mind that's a serotonin mechanism is zero sum" there really isn't anything left to say besides you are wrong and learn more about it. 🤷
This is the epitome of the issue with maximalism.
Pareto distribution rules social interactions and markets. We should treat it as such instead of trying to act like it doesn't exist.
What political lines? Everything is political if you want it to be. That has nothing to do with what I'm saying. Experts are the problem. Results are what matter. Experts dislike results that disagree with their books. Books are only as good as the words written in them. This reverence for some sort of authoritative source of knowledge doesn't impress me. What is your thesis? Why doesn't it hold up to anything I said without straw manning? That's what you should be questioning. Not, "where did you get your information." That should be a red flag that what you know might not be what you know it might just be what you've been sold.
No, it's a fallacious argument from authority. I gave you the information or at least enough cursory knowledge to look up more on your own if in fact you think I don't know what I'm saying. Information doesn't require an authoritative source. It just exists and it's true or not. It's not up to me to say names you like till you accept facts as facts. Test them yourself.
Toward him? So you didn't comprehend what I wrote? That's alright. I don't expect you to get it. Fuck Elon. That's why I'm here. We don't need fake stories in order to understand the dude has too much power. It's bad enough that he censors people and acts like he is pro free speech. Dumb fuck stories about alt accounts and known sound a-likes being used as a weird psy-op to make his dissenters look like idiots is not the way. If that makes me biased toward him, okay lol. wtf
It's not one place. That's what I'm trying to say. It's a lifetime of experience. Being raised in religion. Having people lie to me. Watching their actions. Listening to people tell stories of abuse. Watching family members and friends interact. Listening to theories that do and don't make sense. I don't wholesale believe anyone. It's all piecemeal. Listening to professors explain how the brain works. How anti depressant meds work by modifying serotonin uptake. Lectures on microtubules and quantum consciousness. It's too much stuff. I just distilled it down because it's apparent to me that people think you can fix your brain without changing your environment. You brain is part of the environment. Change your environment change your mind. Get off of social media. Don't compare yourself to people you will never interact with. If you feel inadequate find something you are adequate at and be the best in your group at it. This is everything from national geographic, all the way to Alex Jones. I find the pieces that make sense and I put them together. Removing yourself from ever competing or comparing at all is not good. It's a type of egotism. It's also ignorance of your place in your group. You end up stepping on people's toes or hurting yourself or them because you are clueless of how you relate. Comparison is useful and it's built into your brain at a chemical level. You don't remove it or get over it, you just become delusional.
Wrong. You are currently commenting on a thread influenced by him. Nice try though.
I'm interested in reaching consensus in a decentralized way rather than large bureaucratic bodies passing legislation and hoping they get it right.
It's called paying attention. The guy is the most influential person on the planet at the moment. It's irresponsible to be ignorant.
It's not his cadence. Stop trolling. Dittman is a known Elon sound alike on X and I've heard them in the same spaces together. Dittman is way faster and smoother at talking than Elon is and sounds slightly different than him. Either you are really bad at hearing or you are lying or dumb. Either way...stop spreading nonsense. It's not true and it's a distraction from focusing on Elon's real issues, censorship and undercutting the US labor market.
It's not true. It's just a guy that sounds like Elon. Everyone on X knows this guy already. Calling it a burner account is a lie. I've heard him and Elon in the same spaces together. Don't fall for it. Elon is being berated right now for his bad takes and censorship. We don't need a fake tantrum to justify not agreeing with him. It distracts from the actual subject at hand.
Elon isn't Dittman. I can tell that by just listening to the guy and I have heard them on the same spaces before in real time. I'm not defending Elon and his censorship bs but it's obvious people are trying to push this further than it needs to go. Dislike Elon for what Elon does. No more, no less. Seems like a discredit campaign to me. Anyone who falls for this will lose credibility going forward.
