It was indeed facile. There were just enough allusions to common philosophical issues to make the viewer feel smart... "der, it's like that cave and shadow thing in that Socrates thing we had to read in 7th grade... or was it Plato?"

Nevertheless, after the bullet-time special effects are no longer cool, and after the wardrobe and cinematic style become dated, you still have people referring to being "red-pilled". I think that's a good legacy for a movie... to have the central philosophical idea become imbedded into the common vernacular.

You took me literally there. I meant the PAST tense, but it seems I wrote the present active tense of "fight".

> Nor do I understand your third paragraph

It's opinion. That's my point. Nothing more.

> Nor do I understand your 4th paragraph vis-a-vis 'power over such necessary things as maps'. ... "The data and basic API should at least come from a government source, I'd say. Let companies but whatever sugar they want on top of that".

No, this is a bad idea. Sugar is just sugar, it's not control. When the government has control over access to information or channels to information, they get to manipulate the flow of info.

For the sake of over simplicity (to make my point VERY clear), we might have an API that looks like this:
- getKey()
- getWeather(Key)
- getNewWeather(Key)

Now suppose everyone knows function "getWeather" is more accurate than "getNewWeather". Naturally, they want to use "getWeather". But then some bureaucrat decides they need to manipulate the weather forecast to explain the downing of a helicopter (shot down by secret forces) or divert people away from driving near a secret airplane part that landed in the road. In other words, the gov would like to control what kind of weather people receive, so they tell everyone that getNewWeather is now an alias for getWeather and getKey now only returns a valid key for getNewWeather. Congratulations, the gov now controls the weather.

> Regarding Native Americans.... So no, they weren't entitled to the same rights as US citizens. But they also weren't entitled to the same rights as foreign countries. How does that result in the sorts of self-governance that syshum desires?

That's not what I was interpreting you arguing for. You said, "When did the Constitution ever respect the individualism and liberty of Native Americans?" Which I was saying, "It doesn't," and which you seem to agree with me by saying "they weren't entitled to the same rights as US citizens". The fact that some judge muddied the waters of "citizen" and "foreigner" is some leftover problem from a bygone era.

At this point, I think we have different understandings as to what we're arguing. I wanted to reply (as anyone likes to do), but perhaps it's best to stop. My fault for butting in.
I do not understand why this idea is voted down. In contrast to the insistence in the Netherlands in the late '70s that urban planning must cease to create a hostile enviornment for self-mobile humans there has been a long-standing and well-funded push to develop bicycle lanes backed by both federal and state governments and lobbied for by organizations like the Thunderhead Alliance explicitly to remove bicycles from the road network which we all pay for.

The Netherlands is as good as it because they insisted on the fundamental right to security, safety and convenience of all the people to use public space.

Accepting a narrow, little painted lane where you cannot dawdle and chat two-abreast and have to stop at a novel intersection design every few hundred meters is not progress. It's a step away from a reasonable cycling environment.

Cycling organizations in the USA are dominated by well-organized lobbyists from the bicycle retail industry and their hangers-on.

Software is very different from any other type of engineering I can think of, so I'm not surprised that the interviewing processes would be different. Two different aeronautical engineers for example may come up with two different solutions, but I don't think the better one would be better by a factor of ten, let alone something like a million which is common with software. If any aeronautical engineers read this I'd like to be corrected if I'm wrong.

I think demise of cities was due to being starved for capital, redlining, automobiles, and crime due to lead pollution.

Post war capital was invested in suburbs instead of urban cores which then decayed.

Redlining also meant urban areas inhabited by minorities were cut off from capital. Not only couldn't minorities get loans, but even their often white landlords couldn't.

Automobiles allowed workers to locate their families in cheap suburbs while sucking at the corporate teat in Urban Cities. At least until too many people spoiled a good thing as auto congestion built up.

Leaded gasoline caused brain damage which effected dense urban areas the most, resulting in high crime rates.

The last 40 years has seen a reversal of that at least for some urban cities. Capital is being invested in cities. Hard redlining is gone. Replaced by jacking minorities with exploitative loan products. Suburban congestion has made suburbs much less attractive. The decline of lead pollution means urban cities are again 'safe'.

Yes, but it's not sufficient.

Apple's Numbers had possibilities in this regard in that you could have multiple spreadsheet tables within a larger document that might have surrounding explanation, although you're wrestling with text in a text box for that. And Numbers itself is pretty inadequate for even intermediate spreadsheet usage - for instance it doesn't have XIRR or XNPV.

Take Jupyter's flexibility, add in tables, multiple sheets-per-documents, and reactive calculation, and allow it to run offline or as desktop software, and you're getting close.

Bitcoin is volatile. That's the main issue. You can't say that about the dollar or euro.

Now imagine you get paid in bitcoin, save every month for a holiday or a high value purchase. When the time comes to make the purchase you find out that your savings are worth less than 10%. How does it feel using bitcoin?

I tried to use bitcoin(as a merchant) but due its volatility it makes no sense to use it(as merchant or buyer).

I think you are on the right track.

I'm not sure the article is. Because the article keeps talking about objective realities.

But human beings experience life subjectively. Making more than your brother in law is a big ego boost. Having the highest degree in your family, even if that is only a BA.

Human beings judge ourselves subjectively.

Technology has broken down borders, increased our self awareness and provided us with education. Which is a good thing, but it also has it's negatives.

One of those negatives is the borders: we are now all part of a global economy. Everyone intertwined with everyone else. I used to be able to go to a town hall that had a lot more sway in how things worked. Now it's a global system that will grind on and grind up anyone who dares get in it's way.

The other point is our self awareness. It's now impossible to live without understanding that... I'm complicit in some child's slavery because I have a phone in my pocket. Likely some of that meat I eat was treated with horrendous cruelty. The pages I need to print and waste because of some bureaucratic rule will cost the lives of thousands of animals in a rain forest where the trees were cut down in a terrible way. My tax dollars will be used to kill and torture people for profit. My car is costing other people their live's from it's pollution, the same as my plane trip. The arguments we used to use to justify this, have been proven false.

Coming to terms with our own terrible behavior would be easier if not for our increase in education.

Since the time of the Gutenberg press, population has gone up 10~, but educated population has gone up something like 1000 or even 10,000 times.

This increase in education has had a huge increase in scientific knowledge. But it also makes any individual much less likely to be outstanding.

So again, our individuality is lessened. But worse, you are average. Mediocre. When there's 100 biologists in the world, you can always find some way to be slightly different. With 3,000,000 biologists in the world, how could you expect to shine?

I think these things add to something that's been brewing for a couple of hundred years: a loss of meaning.

The latest things that we used to feel special: capitalism, communism, our nationality, our race, our religion, have also been falling by the wayside, dying with other idols and invincible messiahs.

We use to think of ourselves as special for a lot of reasons. Science and tech have made it very clear, we aren't special. Just a random primate descendant on a lonely little rock in the middle of a totally uncaring universe.

Now we can't even take console in being the best at something in our own little area.

I think these real negatives are suppressed because they speak poorly of human nature (we are silly creatures) and it leads to irrational negativity in other areas; whether it is worrying over a 'growing crime rate' which doesn't exist, or complaining about vaccines.

Not sure how to handle these issues, I don't really have any suggestions. Just more pointless observations. :p

What do those sectors underindexing sound like regarding productivity and purchasing power?

EDIT: Also consider two other effects: We are automating productive jobs, and people are replacing those jobs with very low productivity jobs (service sector).
