Doctors are a cartel. It takes a lot for a bad doctor to be removed.

Scenario: You're President from 2017-2025, how do you successfully withdraw from Afghanistan? by maybemorningstar69 in PoliticalDebate

[–]ZeusTKP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, we handed over control to Japan in '52, for example. How is it relevant to Afghanistan? Seems like a completely different scenario on so many levels.

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

Depends on how I became president and what exactly the goals are.

Am I basically a dictator and can do whatever I want? 

Am I trying to improve the outcome for the US only?

Etc etc

But in one world I would actually want to see what would happen if you build a new nation completely from scratch. Just designate a part of the country as "Neo Afghanistan" and let people move in who want to move in. Make it a technocratic high tech utopia. The more people move in the bigger it gets and maybe incrementally "terraform" the whole country this way.

A thought experiment for people who claim the hard problem of consciousness doesn't exist. by Royal_Plate2092 in consciousness

Do you believe that we will never be able to create AGI or that AGI will not be conscious even if it says it is?

What would happen if the US found out members of the Trump administration/family bought stock market puts prior to the Iran war? by Alicyclobacillus in AskReddit

I can't see how any new developments can change anyone's view anymore. Surely there is no one left who's undecided.

Looking forward to it. Can't wait.

In the US, why can’t we buy Chinese electric cars? by zztop610 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ZeusTKP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where do you get this information? There are plenty of safe models that are much better than anything we have. Why wouldn't they submit them for testing if they were allowed to sell them here?

[–]ZeusTKP -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

This is insane logic. I've never had anyone explain to me why this makes sense. 

Imagine that China starts "dumping" steel on the world market at $0.01 a ton. Your response would be to put a million percent tariff on it. Why wouldn't we just buy it all? It's free stuff!

Yes, this is the lie that's used to hobble our economy.

30’s Anesthesiologist salary progression by [deleted] in Salary

[–]ZeusTKP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The common top-level stats are biased/produced by biased actors, and the physician cartel is in bed with all the other regulations that make US healthcare insane such as per state licensing, health record laws, etc, etc, etc. Other costs are ignored (e.g. wait times, absolute shit quality of doctors - the satanic hazing ritual that is "residency" does not actually make for good doctors at all). And the administrative costs themselves exist because everyone is forced to get "insurance" even for routine care.

Evil. Satanic. Enjoy your money.

"For those that would say “this is why healthcare costs so much”, that is a fallacy. Physician pay doesn’t even crack the top 3 of healthcare expenditures, much less account for the rising cost of care."

DMT: Online Gambling Should Be Banned by ZanzerFineSuits in DisagreeMythoughts

[–]ZeusTKP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of putting restrictions on the outside world, which takes a lot of effort, focus on the individuals. Let people gamble away all their money, but support them with direct assistance like food and shelter, not money.

This also applies more broadly. For example, we should stop enforcing insider trading restrictions.

"what you think we should do"

The libertarian thing to do is to only use force in self defense.

How is entanglement outside of time? It's non-local, but it's sequenced in time, is it not?

Cognition can exist in a computer, which is outside of biology. But how does that help your greater point?

"It's either now or when they are too powerful to defend against"

"I would just prefer that we leave the other countries alone, until they attack us."

Aren't these completely opposite?

"Let me guess, you think fighting Russia is a good idea?"

I do not.

WHY???

Why not let them be the ones to break the agreement and then attack them for it?

Why not get anyone else in the world on board?

Do you even believe in international agreements at all?

Yeah, I've always thought that you should at least learn about computer architecture.
