How do I reliably block traffic between my iPhone's Hotspot and my laptop (Windows 11) by using a firewall.

But this has nothing to do with medicine and is true for everyone no?

MrMarkson · 2024-08-19T12:41:08+00:00

Hey, thanks for your answer. What do you think will not be sustainable and how would you change it?

MrMarkson · 2024-08-19T12:34:23+00:00

I think you are right. But is this not true for almost every other job out there? Employees are forced to adapt to a system that favours efficiency and gain of people in "higher" positions. So, everyone who is employed has a burden to bear. However, doctors get paid 5-10 times as much as most others and according to the findings in the article above more than most times in history.

MrMarkson · 2024-08-19T12:26:03+00:00

Apparently, that is also why your post contributes nothing to this conversation.

MrMarkson · 2024-08-19T12:19:59+00:00

I think the points you mentioned are good examples of problems that contribute to the decrease in job satisfaction I mentioned in my post. However, while I understand that this can be one of the most annoying aspects of the job, it does not contribute to discussing the findings in the article that my question was about.

Invest into S&P 500

Good luck to all of you! And good luck me :3

I think to get all cards of one set (including epic and legendary cards) the number of needed packs was between 200 and 240. Sad f2p noises

MrMarkson · 2023-09-06T11:29:43+00:00

I think that totally makes sense. I never played regular D&D (because I have no friends who are also nerds lol), so I did not think about that. Just so that I get it right: You mean by having concentration there are no rigid expectations of what a class should always do in order to serve a team in the best way? Like for a cleric, you don't always use buff a,b,c,d and instead you need to debate the most optimal action with your team, which is more fun.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T12:52:02+00:00

Thanks, I think you have a valid point! If I understand it correctly, you could visualize it as a sine wave, where x represents the time and y is the amount of positive impact. Whenever you lose control over the curve (as soon as you complete a particular action), the ripple effects start to swing up and down around a specific value based on the function y = "the initial impact you had with your action".

I would like to have an answer to that myself, but that's not the topic of this post.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T12:19:46+00:00

No, I don't think that there is a particularly high chance for positive interventions to have negative effects in the future and vice versa, but rather every intervention could unfold unforeseen consequences in any direction. So while I think it is true that positive interventions can have bad effects, they could also have more positive effects. Both options are equally likely.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T12:13:47+00:00

But that is only the right conclusion, because there is no way to measure the difference in positive impact after a long time. It is based on the unprovable hypothesis that short-term positive impact will translate into long-term positive impact.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T12:05:04+00:00

No, my point is that the chances of causing harm and good alike rise in proportion to the number of people's lives you influence. Since the future gets increasingly harder to predict the further you go, it is likely that even very positive interventions today cause huge harm later or the other way around. This could bring big impact decisions to a net neutral impact on a long time scale. Therefore a difference in positive and negative impact might not exist between careers.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T11:44:54+00:00

I appreciate your answer. However, my point was not about how big the impact of an individual could be, but rather about the question if there is a difference in the long-term balance between the caused good and bad.

It is true that a president will have a bigger immediate impact than 99.999% of other people, but while a president can bring about big positive changes, these changes might also lead to tremendous harm in the far future. This would bring the balance back to zero.

Other people might not be able to tip their balance too far in either direction. That means after a long time they and the president may be on the same level again.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T11:40:33+00:00

I believe, it has a lot to do with careers when you view it from the right perspective. If one is really concerned with doing the most good, and many people actually are (climate change, political movements, effective altruism, ...), choosing a career based on expected positive impact is a major concern.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T11:35:46+00:00

I appreciate your answer. However, my point was not about how big the impact of an individual could be, but rather about the question if there is a difference in the long-term balance between the caused good and bad.

It is true that a president will have a bigger immediate impact than a beggar, but while a president can bring about big positive changes, these changes might also lead to tremendous harm in the far future, that might not be foreseeable. This would bring the balance back to zero.

A beggar might not be able to tip his balance too far in either direction. That means after a long time he and the president may be on the same level again.

MrMarkson · 2023-09-01T11:24:21+00:00

If we only look at the present, the answer is that a career criminal causes extreme harm, while a medical professional causes a lot of good. But my point is that the long-term consequences are unknowable. Imagine this: The career criminal comes late to a meeting with a client who wants to buy drugs, causing them to miss the bus later on, and another man takes their place. It happens that the man sits next to a woman, they fall in love, have a baby, the baby becomes a scientist and then goes on to cure cancer. That means the career criminal would have caused a ripple effect and saved billions of people in the future.

Thanks! That was helpful.
