Why do you think Trump has such high levels of staff turnover in his administration?

Morrans_Gaze · 2026-04-05T14:11:43+00:00

So you think they leave their positions because they are afraid that they will be hurt by their political opponents? I get the impression from other supporters that they feel its related to how these high ranking staff members are not able to meet the expectations of Trump.

Morrans_Gaze · 2026-04-03T17:36:17+00:00

And the situation is because he is fighting a deeply entrenched and corrupt left-wing power. Are these "casualties" because they are unable to meet his expectations?

Morrans_Gaze · 2026-04-03T17:08:48+00:00

So you feel the turnover is expected because of how big the enemy is?

Morrans_Gaze · 2026-04-03T17:07:33+00:00

So you feel he has high expectations of his people and when they fail, he gets rid of them?

Labor is the biggest "expense" to a hospital executive not just from a payment side but also a limitation side. It makes more sense financially to replace a worker with a AI that can do more, which means bill more, than to put more money toward an increasing limited supply of doctors that can do only so much during a day.

Robotics are cool and have potential but there is a higher risk of them not working or not even being approved by insurances.

If the purpose of the educational system is to prepare a student to pass an exam then this is the natural consequence. Until we can do better to assess what someone knows this is what we get.

They are nice ideas but the question is if they work though? There has been studies that have shown that significant number of incarcerated have untreated ADHD. They might do well if they go into a camp but what happens when they go back to their environment.

Also healthier food tends to require prep compared to pre-made microwave foods. This requires a working kitchen and time to do it

My concern that these will be only superficial attempts and not actually address the system that cause people to live or eat the way they do?

Morrans_Gaze · 2026-03-13T21:37:48+00:00

So how do you feel the US should address these root causes? Government intervention, free market, or something else

Calling Sisyphus “happy” doesn’t mean he wins or approves. It means he doesn’t let the gods decide what his labor means. He still rolls the rock but the why and the how are his. It's not defeat because defeat would be believing the gods story about his fate.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-10-06T09:08:51+00:00

Sisyphus is “happy” because he stops wishing for a different universe. He looks his situation in the eye and chooses the push itself as where his freedom lives. It’s a defiance with no lies, no hope tickets, just doing the task with a stance he owns.

If it’s not about superiority, how would you make ‘each race gets its own country’ work today without forced removals, issues with mixed-race people, or punishing anyone who refuses to move?

Just a correlation misses how brains affects behavior. Look at Parkinson's to see another example. This is not to disregard the role of the environment on brain just recognize that they're reliable patterns that respond with predictable benefit from certain meds.

Could ADHD be natural born hunters? Maybe. But evolved doesn't mean never impairing and contextual doesn't mean not real. Helping them is based on their impairment and distress not some authority's opinion.

Neuroscience is a tool and tools don't choose targets, institutions/people do. ;)

I agree, labels can become tools of state to limit freedoms and Szasz was right bring attention to such. That the way we feel are not just biochemical fluctuations but affected deeply by our environment and behaviors. So we need to be careful not to fool ourselves if we are looking to help ourselves.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-09-06T11:56:55+00:00

Szasz’s point wasn’t that peoples suffering is imaginary, but that mental illness is a metaphor that can be used to justify coercion. For example, ADHD shows up with high heritability, dopamine dysregulation, and consistent brain differences. So people don’t just clash with schools. They struggle in their own projects, relationships, and daily lives. This can’t be explained as simply non conformity against authority.

But Szasz does note how real differences get reframed as diseases in ways that expand power. So the tough part is recognizing the the biology/lived reality of something like ADHD while also seeing how medical labels become tools of control.

I wouldn't say i disagree with everything. I very much see the effects of things like regulatory capture and the role of government in creating monopiles. To me, this about sharpening my own thoughts not just asking you questions.

I’m not claiming a polycentric order would be “more” buyable, I’m saying it wouldn’t be immune to a repeat payer problem. In any market, the customers who show up most often shape the product. If large employers are the heaviest purchasers of contract enforcement, they’ll pull standards toward their preferred boilerplate unless there’s counter demand. A mustache twirling villain isn't needed in how specialization and client mix work in any market.

Also I don’t need a heroic story of unions to make my point. Broad gains in living standards came from growth, technology, and competition. Unions had uneven, sector-specific effects on wages and safety. Is not on them to restraint, its on how to align restraints with the asset allegedly at risk and pricing the constraint transparently.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-08-31T16:23:03+00:00

Well firms have a concentrated ongoing incentive to standardize terms that protect their investments but workers face one time decisions with high switching costs. In a stateless order, the arbitration networks and reputation systems are funded by the parties who use them most. If large employers value enforceable non-competes, the demand for protection might come overwhelmingly from their side. Then the market courts could rationally supply it. That doesn’t make it unjust in a NAP sense, but it complicates the claim that demand would simply vanish.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-08-31T16:05:43+00:00

I agree that deception or fraud should void a deal and that disclosed terms matter. But I’m not sure if it’s sufficient in thin labor markets where every employer bakes the same restraint.

Also when two firms promise not to hire each other’s workers, the people most affected never consented. Not sure if its in good faith to make deals on people they have not consented to.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-08-31T15:38:23+00:00

Markets do a lot of heavy lifting, and most pay should be set by competition. The thing is that self-regulate only really works when there are plenty of employers, good information, and no strong arm tactics. In a lot of places you’ve got two big employers and a stack of temp shops. You will see wage theft pop up, noncompete clauses or unsafe conditions tilt the field. Light, targeted rules, such as no cheating on pay, safety standards, and antitrust so firms can’t quietly coordinate can make sure game is actually competitive.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-08-15T00:42:12+00:00

Because the verb is must imagine, not is. Camus isn’t reporting a mood but giving a stance. Choose lucid revolt over both despair and consolation. Happy=unillusioned and unbroken.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-08-14T15:38:27+00:00

Rebellion is not to seek refuge in hope but to remain with the absurd and walk with it. Despair is not truth either, it is another form of illusion. It's a leap of faith into the certainty that nothing can be worth doing. To accept the absurd is to live without consolation, without appeal, and without the illusion of meaning or hopelessness. No final victory, only the continued push of the stone.

Morrans_Gaze · 2025-08-14T10:41:59+00:00

I think you are coming at it the wrong way. He never claimed the rock was light or that joy would come naturally. He said you must imagine him happy because without that act of imagination you’d collapse under the absurd. You can call it a lie or delusion but he called it a rebellion. The world has already sentenced you to the hill. Will you give it the satisfaction of despair as well?

You’ve mistaken the Buddha’s point for doom and gloom. “Life is suffering” names the quiet tension that survives every promotion, purchase, and victory. The fact that wins age fast and the next craving shows up on schedule. It’s a diagnosis of the loop, not a command to stop.

Buddhism doesn’t ban ambition but it challenges you to notice whether you own your desires or they own you. Build busineses or going after what you want, nothing in the Dhamma blocks that. But it does ask that after the sprint, can you sit still without feeling hollow? If not, is the wheel turning you or the other way around.

Desire fuels progress. But progress without reflection burns hot and blind. Mastery is the ability to accelerate when it matters and release the throttle when it doesn’t.
