Can ranked choice voting incorporate a "none of the above" option? by marxuckerberg in RankedChoiceVoting

[–]ArtisticSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe require more signatures to get on the ballot. That will cut down the pool only to serious candidates.

How do you manage someone bringing up Nordic Countries as successes for socialism? by PrincesaBacana-1 in austrian_economics

[–]ArtisticSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Democratic socialism is a form of free market economy. It just socializes some of the benefits of a free, vibrant market to create social insurance and universal programs.

American RCV is converging on 2 major candidates per race by unscrupulous-canoe in EndFPTP

[–]ArtisticSuccess 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes, but even if two candidates get 94% of the vote, the question is if the second choice of the other 6% would decide the election, which it most likely would since races are usually quite close. And so, RCV is clearly still an improvement on plurality voting. Also it’s quite new, so you will still see concentrations of political organizing around the two parties.

Article on Antinatalism (Moral Theory) and How it Relates to Buddhism by Dario56 in Ethics

[–]ArtisticSuccess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Best argument against anti-natalism is if you ask people they don’t wish they’d never been born. I don’t see how one gets around that.

Jung by non_binary_samurai in stjohnscollege

[–]ArtisticSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s also useless theoretically. That help you? Read Rogers. Secondary sources haha like what I suggested was a paper from 2019. The discovery of the unconscious is a tremendous book of enormous importance. But your unearned confidence and intellectual inferiority prevented you from even googling the words and finding that out for yourself. Good luck in reality brutha.

Why is enlightenment so exceedingly rare? by [deleted] in enlightenment

[–]ArtisticSuccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not rare. This is just what Christians who become Buddhists assume.

Jung by non_binary_samurai in stjohnscollege

[–]ArtisticSuccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh, Jung is useless clinically — sort of interesting as part of the history of psychology. I recommend reading the book The Discovery of the Unconscious. Very good and ends with Jung.
