Make that argument to the family members of people experiencing the genocide, I would imagine they will laugh in your face. These people are enduring unimaginable horrors, their children are being brutally murdered and libs keep telling them to suck it up because actually this is the lesser of evils.

It’s a pathetic fucking argument.

Imagine thinking “stop committing a genocide” is perfection.

Liberals are amazing creatures.

No shade but I could not take the premise of that book seriously. The idea that any complex system could be mapped thousands of years into the future is so incredibly unrealistic to me that I was unable to suspend my disbelief.

I’m a massive Dune fan though so I have no leg to stand on. Hold on a second while I re-calibrate my metabolism and use my genetic heritage to recall events that happened 30000 years ago.

It’s not that surprising to me. Chaos theory is not well known/understood and we are accustomed to seeing weather reports from childhood, it’s not odd to expect them to be accurate.

I both anticipate and fear the expansion.

Terrence sent his “paper” to NDT. Idk whether or not he was requesting a peer review but he spouts this stuff publicly constantly, he can’t be upset that people are refuting him publicly.

You can dress it up in whatever language you want but when nobody is able to consistently beat the market it looks a hell of a lot like gambling.

Inflation exists, you’re gambling every day on whether or not your money has the same value tomorrow, or even any value at all. Like you said, this conversation can easily break down into semantics.

I don’t disagree with the general point of, “there’s no guarantee”. But I think you can make an argument that taking the safest course available to you is not gambling.

When talking about longer time frames you have to account for inflation, holding on to your money instead of investing it is a risk in itself, which makes this entire conversation about semantics.

If you’re talking about stock picking, hard disagree. Emotion has nothing to do with it whether or not it’s gambling.

If picking stocks was anything but a gamble portfolio managers wouldn’t have such a god awful track record.

I feel like a grampa but I really do not like this art style. It just doesn’t feel like Lotr, idk how to describe it. Too clean? Too bright?

Ah yes, feminism, an ideology that consists solely of extremist views. I’m not even well versed in feminism and I know that Andrea Dworkin is quite extreme and is a polarizing figure.

If you have reduced feminism to the views of a single extremist than you really need to get your shit together.

git gud

Canada is on track to elect a populist conservative PM who is anti-trans, anti carbon tax and anti taxing the rich. Shit fucking sucks right now.

lol

I’ve read comprehensive scientific papers about years if proving hypothesis that could be finished in an hour

bahahahhaha

HEY EVERYONE, CHECK OUT HOW SMART THIS PERSON IS!!!

There’s absolutely no reason this video should be 4 hours long.

Jenny had 4 hours of stuff she wanted to say and her fans want to listen to it because they find it entertaining. Get a life nerd.

Dismissing youtubers for being youtubers reminds me of people who dismiss all animation because “cartoons are for kids” or whatever. When I think of “influencer” I think of an instagram model who pushes products on their followers. “Youtuber” includes many content creators who devote hours into researching, writing, filming, and editing high quality, entertaining, and educational content.

Jenny is on the low end of the spectrum in terms of basically all of those categories (I love her though), but channels like CaptainD, Contrapoints, Philosophy Tube and Folding Ideas create extremely high quality content that (in my opinion) surpasses educational content coming out of any studio.

tl;dr: Dismissing youtube channels as “influencers” is narrow minded and may prevent you from enjoying content you would otherwise find to be of extremely high quality.

but why?

To be fair in my experience manuals have almost always been next to useless.
