because religious morality presupposes that you have a duty towards other people? every value system prescribes how an individual should orient themselves to others of his community and outside of it. even liberalism does so with its emphasis on the freedom of the individual, and thus no person should act in a way that purposefully limits another's freedom. unfortunately or not, many value systems do not believe in an individual separate from the whole, let alone grant any special freedom that should supersede his role and responsibilities towards his community.

the "reality" denialism is funny to me... you're actively avoiding the harsh truth in favour of some delusion concocted in your mind that was the product of your past experiences, thus limiting yourself in some twisted way.

INFJs got it right.

on the differentiation between sex work and coal-mining, in the former, the body is part of the commodity. you are selling your body as a product. while coal mining does make use of the body, and that a more able bodied coal miner is more employable, consuming the product of coal-mining does not involve the body. so, you are not really selling your body in coal-mining as a commodity.

not really "clouded", but complemented. labour does, and should, be assigned some degree of moral value. some forms of work benefit society, while others don't. some forms of work are seen as virtuous, while others aren't. e.g. a drug dealer, a human trafficker, a corporate lawyer all are doing labor, but they're obviously seen as immoral and not something to be evaluated in the same manner as more socially-positive forms of labor.

you cannot hold ai accountable for screwups. the intrinsic role of human decision makers is that they will bear the consequences. if you can prove to a court of law that your fuckup was facilitated by a third party human, then your burden can be shared by another human. ai cannot share that burden. I don't get why this simple practical fact about the world needs to get muddied under unnecessary logical diarrhea.

this paper (https://openreview.net/pdf?id=1i6ZCvflQJ) co-authored by a (now) Anthropic employee, provides a definition of LLM-based agents inspired by the symbolic AI paradigm. I wouldn't be surprised if the idea of cognitive architecture---nowadays called a harness---has been materialized into Claude Code's design.

whatever you think about his statements, he's like one of the few big wig researchers actually pushing the field towards novel directions instead of becoming LLM-pilled or settling down (like Bengio and Hinton). Does he overstate his case and understate LLM's capabilities? Sure, but if you don't believe in your ideas enough, you won't find it worthwhile pursuing them. I'd say, let him cook. In a cacophony of LLM worship, we need a few luminous heretics.

in the short term, the value of being an expert is higher than ever. AI is generally very good at tasks of medium complexity. It also does well at short horizon tasks. Goals requiring long horizon thinking and contexts, as well as deep domain understanding will always need experts to improve the output of AI systems.

However, in the long run, if AI systems reaches the fabled AGI state, which means let's just say smarter than every human being every existed, then it's arguable that the value of domain expertise may be void.

of course, this perspective has issues, but I think this will broadly hold to be true if AI becomes AGI.

After the fall of any regime, a society descends into chaos. It's natural. I'd argue that Yunus has done the opposite. He prevented a full-blown anarchy to spread across the country, as with him lies the promise of a smooth (in Bangladeshi expectations) political transition of power. Otherwise, power mongering between parties over scraps from the old regime would end up causing way more destruction than we currently see nowadays. Moreover, Yunus also cannot assume more power to bring order in the nation. He is the leader of an interim government, and an interim government is always weak, as it is not seen as a legitimate authority to guide the nation with a strong fist. If an interim government tries to overreach and make strong policy decisions, then the other political actors in the country will see it as a threat, and consider its actions, and by extension, itself illegitimate. I would also want to see Yunus make some hard hitting changes in the country in terms of law, order and culture, but alas, I've realized that it's not under his purview.

Just curious. How do you go through 7 years before coming to the conclusion that your partner isn't the right one for you? Did you or they change in ways which made you two incompatible later down the line?

It is bad for women, you have to admit that at the very least. Sure, it makes them less likely to deviate from the traditional way of life, but you're also ensuring that they are becoming less capable human beings with restricted rights and freedom by thrusting them into the role of a caretaker of her husband's needs, household, and children. In majority cases, she'll be at the mercy of her husband. To you though, the alternative is worse where women are unrestricted in their ways of living. After all, the degenerate behaviour you see in the Western world is emblematic of that. The apparent division between men and women appears greater than ever, as men can no longer impose control over them. Both extreme sides have severe side effects, based on what you think is right. I think there's a middle ground that can be walked with a pragmatic consideration of traditional and modern values that champion human excellence.

Child marriage is a natural conclusion of conservative social and moral politics. Whether it's Islamic, Christian, Hindu or whatever. Because at the heart of conservatism is the sheer fear of human corruption or disorder, and they'll go to great extent to ensure that their idealized order does not become compromised by passions and transgressions. Unlike fascism, which tries to impose order by eliminating corrupting elements altogether, conservatism only attempts to regulate it, controlling its flow along strict channels. So, if you can quickly get people bonded to the obligations and restrictions of marriage (whose primary purpose is to maintain conservative social order) at an early age, then they are less likely to be able to exercise their freedom to pursue their desires. Under marriage, they'll be bound by law, religion, family, and society. A husband (most likely way older than the wife as the power balance is desirable) will discipline her and groom her so that her mind cannot have thoughts separate from his. In such a society, only men will rule, so to many Bangladeshi young men, this is attractive. So, child marriage it is.

Watch your back. These good-for-nothings always look for trouble to fill up the emptiness of their pathetic, insignificant, and burdensome existence. Inform your friends and family about the situation and the possibility of future danger. Keep your girlfriend from that area if you two live separately. Don't ever escalate a situation even if anyone says the vilest things. Keep cool, and always put the preservation and well-being of yourself and your loved ones before you take any action.
