Charlie Kirk did plenty of debate content tbh, as do a lot of podcasters. But advertiser’s don’t have 2 hours at a time to convince you to give them your money. So perhaps it the timeframe that they are working with. For their purposes, more encounters may be more effective than longer single encounters. Debates still work to change minds, just not in the context of a 10 second advertising. window.

Yeah, a few either a things are different as well…

It isn’t more effective or cost effective. It may still be effective.

‘We’ are an exploited labour force whose labour value is stolen by greedy, arrogant psychopaths. ‘We’ have only so much that can be taken before something snaps and I’m guessing ‘You’ are the closest company representative within our reach.
- Comment on We can play that game too 3 days ago:
People are not a consistent part of any community and have no relationship with the past or future of any community. The past is a completely different world, as will be the future, and we move through communities constantly in modern life, never becoming a meaningful and enduring part to any of them. A community would have to be part of our sense of self to have any of our interests be in its future. The pace of change has completely disconnected us from any concept. Of planning beyond the boundaries of our own lives, especially into a future we will never see for a community we don’t feel a part of.
We have also become almost completely powerless with regard to how the world is shaped and for what purpose. Corporations, the wealthy and powerful, and authoritarian inclined governments have taken that power from individuals and communities to use for their personal desires. They are also the cause of the pace of change, creating the very context of community disempowerment which enables them to take that power.
Everyone in the lower 99% is struggling to simply keep existing and find a justification to do so, maybe have a couple of kids if they’re lucky. It is not reasonable, living in a rapidly changing system of constant political and economic selfishness, to expect the struggling people to make their own lives harder to try make plans that benefit other people’s futures. It’s impossible to even know what plans are wise when the powerful and wealthy change things so fast to benefit themselves, that most plans will never even be fulfilled.
We are all being fucked, present past and future, by the runaway selfishness of people whose power is unchallenged. Pointing fingers at each other for making desperate decisions that hurt others to protect ourselves is fucking stupid. These are not the choices we want to be making but are forced to. There are no good choices to make, be selfish or be dead is becoming normal. That’s the world we inherited.

Ban AI posts.
- Comment on Why do cops and soldiers get more media attention than the average citizen? 1 week ago:
Because glorifying and elevating, soldiers and cops is one of the ways the state gets people to become soldiers and cops, especially certain kind soft people. It also helps to increase public support for the institutions that oppress and suppress people in behalf of the state.

Consumers have a right to be informed of information relevant to them making purchasing decisions. AI is obviously relevant to the consumer and should be disclosed.

Dude it’s a constant battle to not get lost in thoughts. The real world is boring af 90% of the time. I’ve sat for hours quietly immersed in the imaginings. It’s also fantastic for extrapolating and working through ideas though. Sights, sounds, tactile sensations, movement, it isn’t vivid like reality but it has such depth.

Gaining power often means loosening of morals and ethics, removing the constraints on behaviors in order to be capable of doing what is effective. All these people are in a club where they’re all criminals because that’s how power works.

The masses won’t do shit.

So if everyone in power is in on it, who is there to hold any of them accountable?
- Comment on Hi, Jeffrey! 2 weeks ago:
Yes there are. They just don’t make it through the gauntlet to reach power since they don’t desire it to begin with.

- Comment on The existence of billionaires is a policy failure 3 weeks ago:
They are choosing to devote vast amounts of finite earth resources on their space man hobbies instead of using any of it to fix or improve the situation on earth, in their countries or for anyone else other than themselves. These people should be dragged out of their comfortable lives for crimes against humanity.
