No human has any rights that they would deny to others.

Great minds think alike.

AI will change the game, but I think after an initial period of growing pains that we’re really facing a shift in the economy whether we’re ready or not. All of the “problems” of capitalism have been due to runaway efficiency. A scarcity economy is absurd when we’re infinitely capable of producing everything people want or need.

You want to criticize my protest and waste my time, but when was the last time you sent an email to an elected official?

Sometimes, when it’s particularly impactful. But you can save your shaming for somebody who cares about your opinion. The fact that you’ve given me more attention than anybody with the power to change things shows where your allegiance lies.

While undermining the system that is already failing artists.

If we had any sense as a species we would be funding artists so that they can pursue their art full time. Industry advances technology, but art advances the mind.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Even if I pay for a product I love some asshole suit is going to get a bigger cut than the artists who did the work.

Her salad did have multiple ingredients.

There’s no efficiency while we’re supporting a welfare class of bourgeoisie.

You completely respect other people’s choices based off of an arbitrary number of majority. You haven’t proposed a smarter alternative. You’ve merely substituted one authoritarian defined arbitrary limit for another.

If my suggestion is stupid, then so is your law.

So are you okay with 18 and 60? 19 and 70?

The larger the maturity gap, the greater the potential for abuse. The rule that I suggested keeps that gap narrow while allowing for accumulated experience.

I don’t give a fuck what you do, but it’s not a stupid guide.

I’m talking about general perception. Respecting people as individuals doesn’t protect you from being seen as a creep, plus you’re arguing for looser restrictions. I encourage you to try the math on that.

A good rule of thumb is half your age plus 7.

You’d better take weather into consideration. Places like Florida are about to become uninsurable.

Don’t ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone for any reason ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you’ve been… ever, for any reason whatsoever…

Scalloped corners?

Not as long as capitalist nationalism is the dominant economic system. It’s just tribalism on a global scale.
