Half of all people are below average, and that’s pretty fucking dumb. But apparently, smart enough to have dominated the rest of the world for a hundred years so…
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 3 days ago:
Well, let’s give it a shot then I guess.

Arguably caused by psyops and political capture by China and Russia but. Technically caused by US citizens, albeit traitors.

Try reading something less technical to get your brain in shape. Ursula K Leguins The Dispossessed is a pretty great read and it draws on a lot of the more academic literature.

The US is the ugly violent older brother’s friend for the EU. They are loving this. Venezuela is one of the countries that Russia has propped up for ages. We’re beating up the bully’s friends, and reminding the bully that we can do what they can’t.

Hot take, this was a way better outcome than carpet bombing Baghdad had. Objectively bad of course, but maybe the US military has actually learned something. I’d argue that Trump is a figurehead for the MIC, and it is telling that they have behaved with relative restraint (relative to Gaza and Ukraine for instance). If he was calling the shots for real how would this have gone down? It’s been obvious since the Nobel prizes that there was a western consensus on regime change in Venezuela. It’s directly related to Ukraine. This is a demonstration that the US military is far more capable than Russia’s, and a message directly to Putin and simultaneously any sub-peer nation considering alignment with Russia or China.

It was productive, just not for you. The LLM trainers are happy for all that VC money you helped them get.

Not a boycott of products, a divestment from the dollar and the US stock market. Sell all treasury bonds. It’s possible.

- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 1 month ago:
To be fair they’re doing the same thing in their own country, so.
- Comment on If WW3 breaks out, who is going to be on which side? 1 month ago:
China would go to war to protect their energy supply. If the US and Russia+Saudi team up its game on. Looks what’s happening now…
- Comment on Is gold investing a scam? 1 month ago:
Fungible, portable, valuable. Gold isn’t a scam, as far as the concept of wealth and hierarchy isn’t a scam.

Selective reasoning, mostly BS. If the COL goes up by 1% so does the productivity, and per worker productivity has been higher then wages in my country since the 70s. If you want to play a game of “the immigrants aren’t skilled or productive” I challenge you to work on a framing crew for one single day in Phoenix AZ. I see now looking at your user name that you’re in Germany- I acknowledge that the context is different there, however I’d be curious to see if the same logic holds true- I’d imagine it does albeit on a longer timescale, since your trades have an actual certification and training process even for lower echelons of workers. I would argue that immigration in general does not harm people, and that it is a grade-school logical fallacy unworthy of serious discussion to say that “if it were true, you could prove it easily.”

Then all the software nerds become hardware nerds, and the cycle continues.
