ngl that whole ‘taylors version’ thing was pretty smart
- Comment on Anyone else 2 days ago:
such as redirecting asteroids. Or just drop nuclear bombs from orbit
i mean we could totally do that, if you gave space programs a few trillion (which is the level of funding an alien invasion would cause) we could probably move asteroids within a decade

no ofc not
youve got the illusion of it, but you cant control if you will move away from a flame or when you feel sleepy

- Comment on How feasible would it be for authoritarian regimes to add censorship directly into the hardware of modern consumer electronics? (Therefore making the use of VPNs to bypass censorship useless.) 4 days ago:
I think they did this but they don’t use it loudly

only known method of hacking encryption
- Comment on I felt sorry for them 4 days ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if someday in the next thousand years someone figures out how to reverse the SHA256 hash function or something. (And I know there’s an infinite number of possible theoretical inputs that can result in the same hash, but maybe they’d just pick the shortest or something)
RSA seemed pretty strong until shors algorithm and all the other quantum nonsense came around, and I don’t think they’ve got enough quantum computers yet to render it powerless, but its also not unreasonable to think that eventually all modern encryption will be obsolete

ik there’s a lot of drug money in crypto but the majority of it isn’t that. Bitcoin didn’t get a 2.5 trillion market cap though selling weed, a ton of that is from institutions like banks and corporation buying it up

algocracy could work, having tons of automated systems in the decision making process.

you want the govt to own everything? if so you are a communist. that actually is the definition

“Vote with your dollars” does not count.
its a weighted vote based on how much money you are willing to spend. If you want a larger impact orginize a boycott
Then better lawyers, repeat ad infinitum. There’s no such thing as a perfect law, there’s always some loopholes. If you can’t lobby your way around it, that is.
Then if they get better lawyers you make better law. There are several examples of an eternal cat and mouse chase in the modern world
No system is perfect. The goal is to find one that’s least bad.
I want to own my own things and I want to own whatever factories I spent money constructing. My personal property. And to stop me from abusing my workers or whatever there can be laws that stop me

i think a one of the largest problems with democracies nowadays is the influence of money on them. if that were removed we could actually move to a more reasonable world

what is a shareholder
- Comment on Something something far-left 2 weeks ago:
I can’t vote out greedy shareholders
you do it by boycotting them
Every antitrust law just invents a new fun little puzzle for clever lawyers.
then make better laws
I can vote out the greedy people in my government
No? Have you looked at the news in the last few months??? You clearly cant
- Comment on Something something far-left 2 weeks ago:
i edited my comment before your reply to note that I simply used water as an example because it came first to my mind and there are better ones
As I wrote in my edited comment (that was changed before you replied) there are better examples of my point that I don’t want too much govt control, for example I wouldn’t want all the farms in my country controlled by the govt
A private org is beholden to no one except shareholders
And their consumers. An orange juice company tries to make their product sold, and at the end of the day they rely on you to buy it. If enough people don’t, they will increase the quality of their juice or decrease the price to increase sales.
We already had a gilded age where we learned how low for-profit entities will go. We had saw dust in bread, chalk in milk, and worse.
You should realize that companies need to compete with each other, and because of that they cant visibly increase the price of a good too much or lower its quality because they will lose sales. Anywhere where this doesn’t happen laws can be written to force them
