I wasn’t familiar with the term, but I always (until this moment) assumed that everybody viewed science that way.

Hi there. I’m an artist who gives away everything for free because I don’t personally think it’s ethical to profit from pure human emotional expression. I also don’t think it’s ethical for some faceless corporation to profit from my art. I will ABSOLUTELY fight against my art being used to train AI models, but I have ABSOLUTELY no desire to profit. In fact, I have the opposite desire.
So tell me exactly what is rent-seeking?

Nah, driving is a privilege, not a right. You don’t NEED to d I’ve and you absolutely don’t need to drive while impaired. Even if you think you’re good, you’re not. There are THOUSANDS of cases of people being killed by drunk drivers who thought they were good.

I like to think of life as the universe reaching out and trying to know itself

It’s not EXACTLY the same, but this guy does a pretty good job of hitting the same vibes:
- Comment on Why does Dairy Queen sell food? 2 months ago:
Dairy Queen has been selling food since 1958. They are not “an ice cream store” any more than McDonalds is

- Comment on Are their any romance movies where there is a male protagonist who is a part of the manosphere? 2 months ago:
No, but this manosphere shit isn’t new. It’s been around since at least the “Men Going Their Own Way” movement in the late 90s and early 2000s, which me too and the Right’s culture wars are a reaction to. So yeah, watch, like, ANY movie starring Michael Douglas, or basically any movie that involves a male/female relationship dynamic and you’ll probably see a LOT of proto-manosphere stuff. (Pretty Woman?)

Like basically every movie prior to the 2010s, yeah

Yes, that’s the meatspace hacking I’m talking about
- Comment on I felt sorry for them 2 months ago:
Signal can only be hacked in meatspace. It’s totally end to end encrypted.

Yes, but you assume they know literally anything about the academic system at all. They think anybody who works at a university is an “elite”, and is therefore somehow being treated better than them.

- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 3 months ago:
Thats a very propertarian view of a non-propertarian issue. You have what you use. What you don’t, you don’t. If you leave your house vacant for too long a period of time, then somebody might take up residence. But if people don’t just move into your home while you’re on vacation now, why would they in a hypothetical system where the concept of property is radically different and presumably everybody has a home? Unless you’re talking about second homes? Because that’s a non starter. Nobody needs more than one home.
