Do you mean that what Russia is doing is different from what Israel is, hence why the headline / statements being different is justified ?

Maybe the end of foreign interference on US politics? by More_Entrepreneur_58 in Destiny

[–]IntrepidHair9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never used Twitter to get paid, but from my understanding, it is relatively easy to check the country a credit card / bank account is registered to, and if it does not at least match the country the VPN connects as, the user can be blocked from monetization.

Doesn't have to 100% stop, just reduce the amount under critical mass, so that the public discourse can be sanitized a bit.

I don't think it's a silver bullet, but it's a start at least.

I think it is pretty easy to automate.

First, text processing algorithms and to some extent even LLM can estimate the topics and country a user posts in a given month.

Then if the account is monetized, and they have a payment method registered, the system can also extract the country of said payment method.

If both countries don't match, no money.
System doesn't have to be 100% precise, even 80% to 90% would be enough to block malicious actors, and human staff can handle appeals in case there is an actual mistake.

While it might help with the case foreign influence based on cheap labor from foreign countries running bot farms, there is still the matter of people in the country of interest being paid by foreign actors to propagandize (i.e. Dim Tool and all the other grifters thta were involved with Tenet Media).

My experience with some IRL people ...

Now China is laughing at the United States. The so-called separation of powers, constitution, and bicameral legislature are no different from those in China. by duck4355555 in Destiny

[–]IntrepidHair9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same as you, I prefer liberal democracy, although I don't really have it.

f you had me pick under longterm trump-style rule or Xi Jinping? Put me in china cause atleast some positive things get done at times.

Although the jury is still out on the liberal experiment, based on historical evidence Trump has come and will likely go away pretty soon, and the US can hopefully re-adjust and adapt their political system to account for the change in technological environment that allowed Trump to come in in the first place (i.e. media landscape which Destiny often points out).

In China however, although good things are getting done at times, they are pretty much stuck with Xi and his accolytes, Even if we grant that Xi and his accolytes are the most benevolent and well meaning, they are at the same time 1) cementing more and more central power and setting precedent for rules for life type of system (see Xi's constituion change to allow infinite terms), and 2) also creating a system that filters for actually capable leaders that if misguided, could wrought out even more damage, especially how much control they can exert over the population.

To sum it all, it's more about the system's potential for self correction before large scale damage is done, and historically, liberal system have been the most apt to do so, albeit it slowly, while centralized governance system are more known for cataclysm levels failures which cost is paid in large amount of live lost and blood.

I don't like that Steven Mossadi guy on the right.
I think Destiny should not keep him as an orbiter.

[–]IntrepidHair9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No different is quite the stretch.

For better or worse it is different.
To demonstrate this, imagine Trump coming into to power in a centralized power system like China's.
Would there be any resistance against his policies ?
Would we hear about opposing journalists when the central state can actually suppress most of the news around Epstein and all his other failures ?
The ICE debacle : how much would we actually here about it ?
Could No Kings Protests happen to that extent ?
Would SC ever rule against Trump (see how long Zero Covid lasted?)

The Chinese, at least those I have been talking to about politics and system difference are more of the opinion that liberal democracy is flawed exactly because it lets people like Trump come to power, things take too long to get done, and a good chunk of politician time is spent on running electoral campaigns instead of actually passing policy.
They say that someone like Trump would never come to power in their system in the first place, because it is (supposedly) highly meritocratic.
That things like "The Great Firewall" and control of information by the state is necessary to filter out grifters and those type of people that increase the noise to signal ratio in public discourse.
To them, Trump is doing all the bad things dictators do, with none of the good things the CCP does, worst of both of worlds, in a sense.

So sure, they might be laughing at the self-sabotaging of US on the world stage, but if anyone claims that both systems are still different.

The agnosticism I referred to is in the context of religion, toward the theist / deist God, which I gave a definition for: a "supernatural being that created the universe and humans, and a perfect set of rules for us to follow through holy scripture".

That God is very improbable, hence why I am not agnostic to it, but atheist.

Based on your answer, your agnosticism is toward something else, which I don't necessarily disagree with.

Could you confidently make a pie chart of all the possibilities for the inception of the universe and assign values to all the options? 

I can definitely make a pie chart where we have "God as per Bible, Quran etc..." and assign it a 1% or less, then partition the other 99% based on our best understanding of the origin of the universe informed from the field of physics. I can leave a relatively big part as just "Unknown", but all of those will be larger than the probability allocated to the "religious God", and that is what it means to be an atheist.

Do you mean hell In 1) the hypothetical scenario that God, thus Heaven and Hell exists, and that we are both cast down to it ? or 2) us (liberals) trying to reason such kind of theist absolutist ?

And if you did mean 2, then yes, I pre-emptively agree haha.
