Message to the world, if they’ll hear us now.
Philosophy is essential to doing science and keep the project going rationally. In particular one first needs commitment to certain ethical principles. Bronowski may have got there first, but here is Popper "In Search of a Better World" (p199) on same:
Creativity is not about mixing ideas together. Moreso, it's about ideas clashing and discovering how to resolve conflict between them.
Excellent conversation. Fascinating topic.
[A rationalist] is a man who would rather be unsuccessful in convincing another man by argument than successful in crushing him by force, by intimidation and threats, or even by persuasive propaganda. — Karl Popper
In an irrational education system, those who can best game the exams come out on top. Those who are actually competent can make it too but not as well. In an irrational electoral system, those who can game it come out on top, and those who are competent do something else.
Like many in my generation, I used to despise humans and feel hopeless about the future. The book “The Beginning of Infinity” single-handedly turned me into an optimist. It made me see humans and the universe in a completely different way. Here are some of the most important…

Excellent thread on the various real-life attempts to censor the actual Nazis in Germany before WW2 and how they backfired. Also, a sane interpretation of Popper's paradox of tolerance.

Homo sapiens already has a 100% mortality rate. As designed, our biology kills everyone in ~120 years. So that’s the default outcome. And by attacking AI, you’re attacking our possibility for longevity. For example, AlphaFold comes from AI. So who’s the real kills-everyone-ist?

The atrocities in Israel show how many people in the West, especially the elite, don’t know right from wrong. Torturing kids in front of their parents before killing both is an atrocity, not resistance. Fighting back against terrorists is not committing genocide, it is…

Civilisation is keeping up. What we notice now is rapid progress. For most of human history change has been so slow that almost no-one noticed any on the scale of an individual lifetime. Now it's fast (yet not a revolution) and many say they regret it. But that's just an error.

I did a 12 mile run along the river in Boston today, while listening to Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch, which is one of my favorite books. It's endlessly optimistic and inspiring. I'm grateful to be alive and to be on this idea exploration journey with all of you ❤️
"Waaah how dare Sikhs teach their children responsibility? Symbolize the attainment of adulthood with requirement and responsibility to bear a weapon at all times to defend righteousness? waaah" Nanny-state lover. Racist. Maybe a Greens voter? Definitely a Leftist. Thoughts?
Australia now has "religious knives" and they are allowed in schools. Fuck me dead, how long before one of these cunts behead another student or teacher.
All any Liberal leader needs to do is to test his ideas against these beliefs. A step taken by so few. Dutton's eKaren endorsement fails beliefs one and three.
@clowndownunder Its a Uni Party. May as well have all Liberals cross the Floor of Parliament and have Labor with no opposition whatsoever. We save on money and cost of Politicians wages if we just do that LOL. A true loser and betrayer of the Australian People. UNFORGIVABLE!!!
Will look very awkward, at best, for the NSW Police that it could swiftly identify suspects for arrest in a mass protest outside a church - but it could not identify any suspects for arrest after an anti-Semitic mob turned up at the Sydney Opera House on Oct 9th last year
NSW Police have arrested a 19-year-old man following the riots outside Christ the Good Shepherd Church, which occurred after two people were stabbed mid-sermon.
So action will be taken against those violent in the crowd outside the church in Wakeley... BUT not against those violent outside the Opera House on 9 October. Explanations invited.
NSW Police Commissioner promises to identify and arrest people who acted criminally on 9 October at the Sydney Opera House. Just kidding. That never happened. It was only Jews being threatened that night.
Yet more evidence that children—like all people—scale their ability in proportion with their enjoyment. Kids love tablets more than they love mundane tasks. It really is that simple.
@LombardiBrett @DoqxaScott What I really have in mind is someone offering a specific business plan to make profit (and risking their private funds!) to solve problems (like the bee example) without using something equivalent to government. When that exists, now we're talking!
@LombardiBrett @DoqxaScott I want to emphasize the word 'concrete' here. It is all too easy to say "I have an alternative, let the market supply a solution!" But that is what is happening! And it is supplying governments!
@LombardiBrett @DoqxaScott Or to put it another way, governments are the default solution precisely because they are the only known solution as of today on how to solve such problems. Not because of some strange brain washing. That will stop being true the moment a concrete better alternative is invented.
@LombardiBrett @DoqxaScott It is the other way around. There is a problem and governments are the only currently known solution to the problem. So 'the market' supplies governments as solutions. Until someone actually creates an alternative via innovation, the market will continue to create governments.
@LombardiBrett @DoqxaScott 💯 We solve problems by correcting our errors. The most efficient way of doing this is without coercion. There is no other way but to solve problems with free-market and private property without coercive actions.
@DoqxaScott We can also look at cross-country comparisons, or large changes in economic systems for a single country, to see if on average more or less government intervention makes things better or worse. This can set expectations for individual interventions, how much evidence we need…
@DoqxaScott I haven't seen it before, but I've now read it up to 6.2. The argument for government is so far, a series of arguments that markets aren't perfect - externalities, public goods, rational choice. But all of these theories apply to government too, and probably more so! 'Government…
@DoqxaScott @LombardiBrett This isn't just a mere matter of opinion that you get to sound off on. It's a legal claim that needs to be taken seriously as a legal claim.
@DoqxaScott @LombardiBrett If ancaps want to be taken seriously on this, they need to offer up an actual detailed legal argument as to why governments do not own the right to charge taxes over their territory and put it into the court system and see if they are correct or not.
@DoqxaScott @LombardiBrett It is really unclear why libertarians think governments do not possess that right when everyone else thinks they do. It is analogous to insisting your landlord can't charge you rent but refusing to offer up a deed or other evidence and instead saying 'trust me I'm right.'
@DoqxaScott @LombardiBrett We revisit in the next episode (not out yet). The idea 'taxes are theft' constitutes a novel legal theory that governments do not own the right to charge taxes over their territory, offered up as if it is 'just obvious' when really it isn't obvious at all.
@DoqxaScott Is there a way to generate a transcript, or do you know of a similar written argument somewhere? My response before reading it though, was baked into original post: we often treat the misuse of taxes as a wrong against taxpayers exclusively. I think that's an implicit assumption…
