I think you fundamentally misunderstand Golden Mean if you argument against it with statistics and I’ll leave it here.
- Comment on A delicate balance 2 days ago:
Fair point but I don’t think it applies here. Balanced doesn’t necessarily mean a compromise.
In your first example Golden Mean would be to take antibiotics until you are fully cured not less not more.
Same for your second example. Going too far in autocracy would could mean efficiency but also injustice and going too far into democracy could mean nothing ever gets accomplished due to endless indecision. This is exactly what elective democracy is so effective imo as it’s a Golden Mean of these two edges.
That’s what Golden Mean means - the center is where magic happens and the edges are always full of failure.
- Comment on Not promoting violence or anything. But stupid quest since Iran has an 80 million bounty on Trumps head. If someone would follow thru do they just go to Iran and be like pay up? Why or why not? 2 days ago:
Crazy that the world’s history was almost changed by some deranged idiot with bad aim. Makes you wonder if he was a time traveler trying to save the ww3 timeline and got brain damaged by the time travel machine or smt. Idk would make a good movie.
- Comment on A delicate balance 2 days ago:
We known since our very inception that balanced takes are the most healthy and efficient path forward from Aristotels Golden Mean to Taoist’s balance in all things and this awesome quote by Carl Sagan here as well.
Yet here we are, in a time where it should be the easiest option we have all sort of idiots from alt right to tankies. The fact that these people have such strong voices is simply degeneration no matter how you look at it.
- Comment on Anon gets a job 3 days ago:
I agree. I’m lucky I got this opportunity which really made me believe in social safety net as an ideology. So many people are stuck because there just no time to respecialize and re-invest your human resources. Automation, AI, robotics are only a problem because of this. If AI can take taxi driver’s job and the taxi driver has the support to re-specialize to something more fulfilling then it’s a win-win for everyone.

That’s how I learned to code. Got a night security job to pay bills and just took my laptop there. In my whole time there I had to get up from my desk maybe 2 times because some drunk dudes would get lost and stumble into the territory lol

Whatever dude, climbing whole mountains here rather than give it up

Nah dude you said it’s the same ethical issue when it’s clearly not. Machine deciding whether who lives or dies vs what exactly? What’s the other issue that is the same “ethical issue” here with image generating AI? Which part is the same or even remotely similar?
Maybe you mean that both technologies are problematic? But that’s really not all that useful because ALL technology is problematic by the very nature of it being a force of change.
- Comment on Saint Luigi 2 weeks ago:
Clearly you don’t even know what AI means and just parrot whatever meme you hear. What ethical issues? You’re comparing copyright theft to what? Using machine learning to decide whether insurance claim should be accepted? These aren’t even the same realm of computing and as close as a calculator is to Candy Crush.
- Comment on Saint Luigi 2 weeks ago:
This is such a stretch. AI used to deny claims and video animation AI are so far apart that you might as well be talking about these two things using the same electrons 🙄
- Comment on Saint Luigi 2 weeks ago:
I think that’s a fair take though the world is allergic to “open source” being a part of our government. I mean, we can’t even open source government projects paid by citizens in most countries so introducing open source as part of our governing process is basically impossible.
- Comment on Saint Luigi 2 weeks ago:
It’s incredible how successfully AI topic has been hijacked.
Copyright is bad, period. Barking at AI for using copyrighted shit for training just makes it less accessible to train for anyone BUT the mega rich.
I genuinely don’t understand the though process of these people. We want information to be free and accessible to everyone, no?

Human! Colorblind is the only way to go.
There is no race culture, period. There’s regional, community or occupational culture but having specific racial features does not magically alter your brain chemistry or define your identity.
Don’t fall for this stupid nonsense - be cosmopolitan, be colorblind.
- Comment on US Democracy 2 months ago:
- political institutions should promotoe individual rights and social equality
- critqued organized religion
- the government should serve the people
- wrote “These are the times that try men’s souls” during civil war
- people have the inherit right to reform and/or dismantle oppresive goverments
That’s what I gather from his wiki and some chatgpt queries. Never heard of him before but honestly, I’m a big fan now.
- Comment on US Democracy 2 months ago:
US is system is so bad. The constant pandering to “founding fathers” as if it’s even possible to have strong enough vision that it would last 200+ years and refusal to innovate past the ridiculous two party system is just sad tbh.
Yet nothing will change because you can’t change these things without a revolution apparently.
- Comment on I'm not worried you're worried 2 months ago:
Why are americans so stupid and yet manage to export so much smart stuff from tech to podcasts to scientists. Is it some sort of dystopia where 1% rules, 20% live in a bubble and 79% are just brain dead idiots?
- Comment on Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically? 2 months ago:
The answer is always speculation investment. People are on average richer and real estate is the only trully limited economic resource as we have limited land especially in desired locations.
Seriously lookup how much of real estate is uninhabitable.
People are richer, the tech is better and everything we know about economy would indicate that real estate should be more accessible but that’s not the case because the market is manipulated.

The Guardian review is more critical than others. I’ve never known they even review video games. Are they always like this?
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 2 months ago:
it’s selling well too though it’s actually 78$. They put Mailbox and Auction House on it which AFAIK the only mount that has both which is incredibly valuable.
If not the fuction I wouldn’t mind but because the function is so valuable it’s really poor form by Blizzard. I even love the mount and buy it as cosmetic but I’m not supporting this at the state it is currently.

Yeah I really liked puzzles and only found the timing puzzles annoying on a controller though with mouse and keyboard it was much easier.
- Comment on Alabaster Dawn Reveal Trailer 5 months ago:
I love the movement a lot in the last game and it’s so great to see more of the same focus! I hope it’s just not a reskin though

How is that relevant to modern age? By that logic nothing is ick and everything is justifiable cause at some point it was ok with our ancestors 🥱
