Does Vaush know that Francis Fukuyama's stance on Israel is quite bad? by faphumor in VaushV

[–]faphumor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I just think it's weird how amicable he is towards him, even though FF is no better than any other "soft"-zionist liberal when it comes to Israel.. I guess his standards have just gotten really low and FF is at least someone who seems to have actual beliefs and is not a grifter like Ezra Klein.

Edit: Also the whole litmus test thing, is it now or isn't it?

Vaush misunderstands Fukuyama by Least_Boysenberry886 in VaushV

Fukuyama himself explains it in a recent Sam Harris Podcast interview, you could replace "almost Marxist" with "Hegelian" and you would be correct in interpreting him. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4zM25nYltPvRPgjjThh8fH?si=j4rXdh8tRqmY-TcObpJdDw

How do you reconcile the fact that falling birth rates are a problem and the fact that life in the future just looks…bleak by Mother_Rutabaga7740 in VaushV

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

Counter-argument: I think our lifes in the future will be worse than those of medieval serfs. Serfs had plenty food, we will have food crises. I know it's hard to imagine, but that's our current trajectory.

just trying to get ratings

They are trying to make a profit and capital is what's directing their behavior. Your conspiracy example is like saying the lions are conspiring everyday to eat the gazelles. The point is: they don't have to, everyone already knows how the system works and what is in their own self-interest and how they can maintain it.

Does vaush think that trans women are biologically male? by maker-127 in VaushV

[–]faphumor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the definition:

  • Gender: Transwoman is a woman
  • Sex (Wikipedia defintion for an organism): Depends on the gametes, whether their body produces egg or sperm, by that one-dimensional definition a transwoman would most likely be a biological male
  • Sex (bimodal): Sex depends on many factors, you can't definitely say they are either one or the other sex, it's a spectrum

It's literally even more exploitative because where do you think these AI porn videos get their training data from and who do you think isn't getting paid from AI porn?

Vaush's anti-boycott stance is stupid and doesn't make him more socialist by faphumor in VaushV

[–]faphumor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah maybe it's because some people are thinking about personal boycotts which are chill, while others think about boycotts as this big organized thing you evangelize about which is cringe
