- Comment on Make Congress Earn Average American Wage. 1 week ago:
One of the reasons a lot of government positions track if you have debts is that propensity to financial burdens make politicians more suceptible to corruption.
If you pay them less, they are actually going to be more easily bribed.

Sometimes I think due process should have its limits. When people suggest ideas that are so grossly enshittified, we should be able to beat them with sticks.
- Comment on Happy Labor Day! 5 weeks ago:
The job is essential, but you the person who does it are expendable.
In a capitalist system, labor is a commodity privy to supply/demand, and so since any person can fulfill the responsibility, the owners have ample supply of replacements, and you have no leverage over them to get higher compensation.

You know the answer, we can make number go up more. And if it’s a public company, they literally have to play the game as fiduciaries

Good on you.
Virtue should be so ubiquitous that it becomes unremarkable. That’s the real hallmark of a proper society.

It’s really nothing you did. The people there just randomly decide to stand up in crowded trains if you are a foreigner and sit beside them. Or this time I was just walking down the street and the lady who was walking towards me just randomly crosses the street and walks past.

- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 2 months ago:
Ya no, some people do it for the story and choices, and maybe the gameplay is a chore to get through with their limited free time…
The Witcher is “meant to played” where you have to run fetch quests to build the right equipment and consumables for every monster contact you face. I’m sorry, but I play games to have fun and that is not fun for me, it’s a job.

Their folly is keeping the population educated, which is actually the highest correlation with declining birth rates.
If AI could be better, there’s no need to support education. But without source material from educated people to cultivate it’s growth, eventually the AI will wither again.
We are entering an age of neo-feudalism because there is not much more to construct nor motivation to innovate (China doesn’t scare as hard as USSR). And when an entire generation adopts malaise and substitution like the Zoomers, the old hegemony of US dominance wanes, which sets the groundwork for a radicalized future after that period.
It’s like that saying: strong men make strong times, which produces weak men which begets weak times of increased radicalization, which produces strong men. Ad nauseum.
