    People here believe that a lie is the truth if told enough times.

    Living in an echo chamber without even realising it, is a speciality for people online.

    I have not seen a single post on the frontpage critical to anything Harris has said. Not even how she said the house could strip businesses for their patent and give them away. Which wouldn’t be a very good idea in the long run.

    But good luck in November. I live on the other side of the pond.











  • You can be critical to the society you live in, while still living in it. Doing otherwise would require suicide or get you jailee by said society.

    You can’t be against the resources that you are positive to use. You should take the straws from the last guy and build yourself another strawman somewhere else.

    If you want modern medicine, you want oil. Doesn’t mean you want private jets and cruise ships too.

    But you know best since you know everything.






  • Hurricanes are not getting more frequent or violent because of climate change though. They are likely to become more rare with increasing temperature in the northern hemisphere because of even temperatures in the weather systems.

    Lex Friedman ep 339 does a good job explaining the difference between more and severe weather and people settling down in huge numbers in already exposed areas.

    We had a huge rainfall in Norway last year submerging a lot of properties. People said this was unprecedented and because of climate change. Only issue is that we have historical data on earlier floods, and people had settled down below the markings of earlier floods more than 100 years ago. The issue is not climate change, but regulating properties on a patch of land you know with 100% certainty will get flooded again.

    I left Spotify for Tidal. But why would anyone feel obliged for free music from a commercial host? Just self host if you dont want to pay. Piracy is always morally right. It’s preservation of cultural heritage.

    I choose to pay for Tidal because of convenience. I refuse to pay for more than 2 streaming services. It’s fairly easy for any adult to make choices like that.

    This is an imagined problem and a fairly new one to.

    Left handed people having to use tools and appliances designed for right handed people is an actual bigger issue.
