The socioeconomic system is broken, not the people. Population boom only happened because women weren't empowered, contraceptives weren't wildly available. For the human, this is great, if it is their choice (we should want to support agency and autonomy imho). For the systems? Bad for them. Build better systems. If your economic system requires a total fertility rate floor above what a combination of desired and realized fertility is, you're gonna have a bad time.

People will argue about the cost of caring for the elderly, sovereign debt that will need to be paid back, and so on. Well, perhaps consider the obligations you're originating and foisting on a future that may not pay for them.

> Correct, they're misreading what I'm saying.

I did misread the part about sex, tattoos and beer. Doesn't change the fact that you said (and I quote, third time):

> 2. Protecting kids. I don't think kids can consent to medical gender transition. It amounts to state sanctioned child abuse. I have kids. Once you're 18 go ahead do what you want.

Which implies "they can do it once they are 18, not before". When I disagreed with that, you gave an example of 6 year olds, which is very different from 18, isn't it?

> There needs to be a line somewhere.

Now maybe you are misreading me. I don't say that there is no regulation needed. I am just saying that I disagree with the "they abuse kids younger than 18 and Trump will save them" rhetoric.

It was seen as a thing that was. Some of my peers (in first grade!) got home to a parent, some had a key and got home to an empty house. The question wasn't was someone home when they got off school, but did the parents get home and create a great family life for the rest of the night.
>Defending trans people apparently was a bridge too far for many, for one.

Which is ridiculous. Trans folks are less than one percent of the population.

Why shouldn't they be allowed to be who they are? Given the tiny number of these folks, it really shouldn't make any difference to anyone who's not trans anyway.

But, apparently, some folks, who appear to believe that their trained-in prejudices are the laws of nature, feel the need to tell other people how they should live and, even more egregiously, try to force them to do so.

That's not liberty. That's not individual rights. That's not religious freedom. Rather, it's busybodies trying to tell other people what to do.
Yeah, I personally believe that states should agree to collectively wait till the day after to release all election results at once. That way there's not as much confusion.

When I was a kid, I wanted what you now hope for; sadly, experience taught me I can't be everyone's friend, that some will hate me no matter what while others are simply mutually exclusive.

If the US becomes friends with Russia as it is today, it can't be friends with half a dozen east europen countries; friendship with PRC precludes friendship with ROC; with Israel excludes Iran; with North Korea precludes South Korea, etc.

Do you seriously actually think that Obama acknowledging that sexist bias exists when it comes to electing the president is an "attack on men"?

I love how whenever someone on the left says they're offended by something outrageous and awful, the right says "grow a thicker skin, snowflake", but whenever someone on the left calmly asserts an obvious truth, that bias exists, people on the right whine that they're being attacked and their way of life is being destroyed.

I'm a man and I don't think the Democratic party "hates me". Maybe Republicans need to grow a thicker skin and stop being offended by every little thing. (See, I can be an asshole and argue in bad faith too!)

THIS. Voting in America seems completely disconnected from rational policy discussion, people don't seem to care anymore. The average voter gets so caught up in the sensationalism and the most controversial candidates seem to appeal strongly to both Boomers and GenZ. Sadly, I think any successful Democratic candidate in the future will need to appeal to voters in this way.

Classical economists didn't seem to use the term 'inflation' in either sense. I can't find any evidence that 'modern economists' have corrupted the original meaning, like you imply.
If my village forms a union with your village and both our villages have 1000 inhabitants at the time I don't want your village to be able to dictate our common policy just because you have more children or more people died in my village 20 years from now. Thus when we are forming a union we stipulate that we have equal voting rights.

It's going to happen in EU in some form as well (assuming EU goes into closer integration direction) because there is no way small countries accept closer union without a mechanism similar to electoral college.
Each streamer adds a delay to their stream. This means that any stream forwarded to you by another streamer is going to be delayed.

The delay was between SpaceX recording and uploading an event and Everyday astronaut decoding it at their mixing desk. Their own feeds from their cameras and microphones had less delay than the SpaceX stream did. Everyday astronaut then had another delay between when they encoded this result and you saw it.

If you had opened up the SpaceX stream directly you would have found it was ahead of the stream shown inside Everyday Astronaut.

BTW I was also watching EA's stream.
Yes, elections produce stupid results. Is there an alternative?
I've followed politics for my whole life and watched tons of Biden speeches going back decades. I was seeing his old "spark" quite a bit well into 2024. The debate, he fell off a cliff, and his follow-up interviews were even worse. 3 months before he competently delivered a barn-burning SOTU address. IIRC a few months before that, he delivered a good NATO speech. He'd slip up minor points but he also did that in 2002. Back then they used to call him a gaffe factory.

It is not abstract political issue like the economy or immigration.

Every woman between 18(and sadly lot younger but they cannot vote ) and 45 is affected directly personally by reproductive healthcare . It is an issue they get reminded about every month physically.

Electing women heads of state , is an exceptionally low bar on misogyny scale, that only the Middle East, lesser developed parts of Africa and United States have in common .

People aren’t voting for trump for his policies, neither he nor his supporters can articulate what they clearly.

2016 was explained about how it was an anti-establishment vote , Hillary had baggage .

2024 the discourse is already it the economy

record numbers voted for him in 2020 when he had the by far worst possible economy of any president ever. Biden only scrapped through by thinnest of margins .

It is disingenuous to then argue that people were smart enough to understand the reason behind the economy then , but cannot comprehend the economic consequences of 2020 policies and the trends of today to attribute to Biden .

It is always something else, we should own who we are as a society.

>Was being a latchkey kid seen as a good thing generally?

I think it's mostly seen as an unfortunately economic necessity, but some of those kids grew up and now look back upon that time favorably because the parental neglect let them develop a sense of independence.
Nah, they are just ignoring the damaging effects on individuals and cashing in the ad money.
For a while I've also had the gut feeling that the average age creeping up does something to the general mood of a culture. Young people are naturally more restless, ambitious, daring, and when the median person is very "settled" in their ways and closer to death than birth I think a certain vitality is lost.

Consider ocean-going freight transportation: the container ships and the containers, the port facilities and the cranes. Now imagine that you were able to witness the very first round-trip sailing of such a container ship between two newly constructed still-experimental-and-heretofore-unproven ports.

That'd be pretty cool right? The dawn of a new era in global trade.

This is that, for space. (Booster as container ship, Orbital vehicle as container, launch tower as literal crane, launch complex as port)
What do you mean by "need less people?" Normally, technology/automation is thought of as reducing the need for labor, but the total amount of labor needed is still proportional to the total number of people.
You can -- to some extent -- combat right wing populism with left wing economic populism, but there are two key problems with this strategy:

1) the Democrat party hates economic populism. Bernie would have to hijack the party like Trump did. But where Trump has many allies in positions of power, Bernie has none.

2) the populist rhetoric that people like the most is false. Grocery prices aren't high because supermarkets suddenly got greedy. Worker exploitation isn't why billionaires exist.

I also don't think it's good strategy blame a minority group for all the problems in the country. Billionaires are not a protected minority obviously, but when you stoke anger against one group it can easily result in a different group getting unjustly targeted (Mexicans, trans people, etc). We don't need any more of that and politics of hate and resentment isn't the way forward.
>Today I think it is a profitable research area to look into manufacturing techniques that might let a colony of 15,000 martians be largely self-sufficient in that this research could pay off here on Earth.

I don't know how they will be able to manufacture CPUs on Mars, I'm guessing 8-bit CPUs will be more possible than modern day CPUs. I think even Motorola 68K will still require advanced manufacturing equipment to transport to manufacture.

I guess with close to 50 years of CPU design knowledge they would be able to design a decent 8-bit CPU with 16-bit address space. Maybe they would use first 512 bytes as a data/code cache to speed up certain calculations (trig functions) (Not a EE, studying Mechanical). Although there is a lot of code available for Z80, 6502, 8080 CPUs.
I feel like this is confirmation bias, especially since it's a very large number of polls from reputable organizations being compared against one person's opinion.

Even if the true probability isn't 50% I doubt it's that far off.
And yet people continue to blame Biden for high energy prices. Boggles the mind.
putting the problem in terms of economics isn't incorrect, but I think it can be framed in a slightly more human and horrifying way:

As a fact of nature, young adults must do the hard labor necessary to keep the world operating. Historically, there have always been more of them than there were people physically incapable of doing that work: the old and very young.

If there are too many old people and not enough young people, who will take care of the old people?

Yeah I was a latchkey kid, my parents have been married 30 years now, made > 350k/yr as a family in the early aughts. Always knew I had food, knew my parents would be home at 6 and I had my dogs for company. Parents always heaped love, and were proud of my direction in life. 2.5 hours of alone time was great for developing my sense of personal independence and responsibility. Then in high school with both football and wrestling it became a non issue (if it ever was, certainly wasn't for me)

I grew up better than fine relative to many of my peers, and any issues I have left over were definitely more from other children.

Much like the article suspects, I believe it comes down to other issues like divorce and general neglect even after the parents are home not a few hours of alone time every day.
It's never in fun. I don't mind a good razzing.

> I think it can be good to listen to people you don’t agree with every so often

I 100% agree. However I don't think it's valuable to get information from people who misrepresent data like All-In. In fact it can be counterproductive to listen to people who are misinforming you. If I can't trust my sources then it hurts more than it helps. This goes the other way too - you should fact check the people who are on your side. In my experience though, when I try sampling new content from people who are biased towards Trump, it's easy to find hypocrisies and misinformation.
You are deluding yourself. This country is finished. Why on earth would they allow there to be legitimate elections in 2028? You know they have "elections" in Russia, China, and Hungary, too.

The people who voted for Trump want people like you and me to die. (And fair enough, I want THEM to die!) You can choose how to respond to that, but you cannot deny it. For me, I don't think I have good prospects for leaving the country, but I am investing in a weapon. "Be out in your community" -- fuck that. I am acting for me and mine alone at this point, EVERYONE else can go to hell.

Only bad if the country has promised the old a lot of benefits that need younger people’s hands to deliver.
A few hours of alone time per day is not neglect, that's a ridiculous view. If you meant general neglect even when the parents were home than sure I can see it, but even TFA points out when adjusted for other factors a few hours of alone time has no negative effect.
Thanks for the kind words, I'll be scanning this thread to see if there's anything new that I've missed.

That isn't a "facade". They're real policy and that is his legacy. His words don't take on mythical status without those significant accomplishments.

Not only is this article poorly-written and hard to parse with pointless sentences like "We are all legislators in the parliament of consciousness", the author's entire premise is wrong.

I hope people don't actually think this way. Activists, organizers, and politicians aren't just Jungian symbols or "cultural vibes".

The policies they fight for, organize around, and enact actually cause things to happen -- for better or worse.

You wouldn't vacuum a cartridge.
Price fixing only works if supply is constrained via some kind of cartel, which cities often have by way of density limits and NIMBYism.

Not a Trump voter, but this is a huge area where many Democrats are flat wrong. Talking to some Democrats about the supply problem with housing is like talking to some Republicans about why a hard line abortion ban makes maternal mortality go up. It can’t possibly be true because the ideology says it can’t be true.
> The fact that dz is treated as a single letter in Hungarian means that if you search for “mad”, it should not match “madzag” (which means “string”) because the “dz” in “madzag” is a single letter and not a “d” followed by a “z”, no more than “lav” should match “law” just because the first part of the letter “w” looks like a “v”.

This doesn't seem right. If the individual letters "d" and "z" exist, then it should be possible to have them next to each other in a text file without them necessarily collapsing into a single letter -- especially if they're actually represented as separate characters, which they are in the example. Even if the letter "w" wasn't correctly represented and required actually typing "uu", you wouldn't want the word "vacuum" to be interpreted as having a "w"!

> The information landscape is heavily weighted towards these grifters, and I am not sure how we can fix that.

We can start with not alienating the millions of people who enjoy listening to Joe Rogan and like him as a person.

What do you even mean by grifter and how is Joe Rogan a grifter? We can go back and forth on here until you are shown to have a very shallow understanding of Joe Rogan and the history of his podcast and yet feel comfortable in calling him a grifter - a derogatory and inflammatory term that is completely unnecessary in a fact based conversation.

Assuming you are wrong in calling him a grifter - what gave you the utmost confidence to do so and is that not the exact problem you decry Joe Rogan and these other 'grifters' of being guilty of? Of just saying shit based on personal bias and 'vibes'?

Anyhoo :)

Somehow I think that's problem. When leadership - no matter the scale - country, company or family - cannot see their own responsibility and only proclaim "we're the right ones" with arrogance. That is when you get unfavourable outcome. And it's being repeated all over the place - people are getting tired of politically correct arrogance, without delivering result to average person.
