  • This creation of a fake world (or model) to manage instead of dealing with the real problems of a complex, real one is such an interesting take on how modern systems work.

    I’m starting to think that the complexities of even dealing with real people and their actual views on the Internet were too much for the broligarchs to manage, for instance, and that’s why they’re obsessed with AI.

    If you can replace the real Internet with one composed of strictly bots talking to each other, you’ve created a facsimile of the Internet that’s easier to control and manage.













  • I’m not quite sure that belief in zionism is measurable, but I’m sure you can find a source about antisemitism and zionist actions by Israel.

    Anecdotally, I haven’t seen as many “stop the hate” campaigns that are basically about antisemitism as I have since the major military actions started in the Gaza in my lifetime.

    I’d look it up if I really cared anything about the outcome of the discussion but it really doesn’t interest me that much to be honest.






  • Even 1+1=2 has to be proven.

    Disclaimer: This is off-topic.

    How do you prove this? Through definitions? An appeal to authority is not valid proof.

    This line of reasoning reminds me of when people were saying the “square root of 2 isn’t 1 because mathematical scholars say so”…No, it’s by definition not one. Count one thing one time, how many things have you counted? One.

    I don’t need a source or an authority for that nor for 1+1=2. I need to understand the basic definitions and concepts.
