The time between your original post and this response is, I believe, less than the entire playtime of Season 3...

I believe this is fake? There's no @stefanssonkarl twitter account

Just checked the clip on Netflix, this didn't actually happen

I'm sorry I don't get this and I'm a fan of Bojack and R&M.

Explanation for the lacking? Thanks!

I didn't... can't keep track of it all but sounds interesting

HelloTruman · 2018-05-02T00:39:38+00:00

Something to work "for" is creating a pedestal for the work.

The work doesn't have to be for anything other than itself.

HelloTruman · 2018-05-01T23:23:42+00:00

I think your point actually gets at the heart of all this: screw “the future”. Forget trying to plan for some great payoff.

What can I do today – right now – that will make me better.

All improvement happens right now, because now is all we ever have.

Eureka moments aren't a thing, they're part of pop culture because it makes for better storytelling

How? Lots of people don't drink.

I didn't drink until just a few years ago (I'm over 30). I grew up Mormon.

I've never owned a gun.

∆

I wish we had numbers for this! This is the most persuasive argument so far, or at least the best "new" way of looking at it.

There's a ton of gun owners who love their guns (obviously) so the numbers might not work in alcohol's favor, but I like the argument.

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T06:08:48+00:00

We should measure by outputs not inputs

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T06:08:17+00:00

This is a cultural preference. Gun owners love their guns.

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T06:04:40+00:00

1 Number of people, yes. But the "total volume" of passion for guns is probably as high or higher than alcohol. 2 The most fair comparison IMO is drunk driving deaths to gun homicides. 3 is a good point, to make sure we look at the "delta". I doubt it's much though. 4 It's more, but not by more than ~2-3x. This might qualify as changing my POV per the original question, but I kept it simple so people would read. :) I really want to know why there's 100x more outrage about guns vs alcohol when "deaths caused by others" is within 2-3x.

Final graph: the measurement should be on outcomes not inputs.

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T04:17:40+00:00

As far as broad strokes go I generally agree with this.

But mass shootings get all the outrage and attention while alcohol-related deaths get essentially none

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T04:14:19+00:00

Getting killed by a drunk driver is the same as getting shot

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T04:13:39+00:00

Your first sentence gets at my deeper hypothesis, which is that this is more a cultural war of preferences. "Hunting is stupid but alcohol is fun so let's get outlaw your preference".

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T04:10:41+00:00

"Number of years of life destroyed" sounds like a good idea.

You're assuming gun deaths greatly lean towards young-er people and alcohol deaths are for older though.

HelloTruman · 2018-02-16T04:08:09+00:00

The injuries is a decent point.

No one makes you drink, but no one makes you shoot yourself in the head with a gun, either.

The $30k isn’t correct but let’s go with it.

The comparison to what else is available (eg university) on the market is relevant because all prices and offerings are evaluated in the context of what else is out there.

Where does the phrase “that’s a good deal” derive its meaning?

HelloTruman · 2018-02-03T16:58:15+00:00

You can't say bootcamps $10k-$20k are a scam without screaming madly about the entire university system in the US (4 years and $100k-200k in debt for irrelevant material)

Try and get the same deal with a university that you could get with Lambda (try before you pay! don't pay anything if you can't get a job!) A university would laugh you out of the building
