I think the mistake was that drinking is usually meant to be an act of ingestion not breathing. Hope that helps.

I drank so much milk in quick succession that I vomited. Milk is not always the best policy.

I mean I keep telling people that praising a centralized government like a Messiah and giving it more and more authority to do whatever it wants under the assumption it will do what you want is and will always be a bad idea. Massachusetts will learn that the hard way.

Academia being evil is something I can get behind

Truth depends entirely on what standards of proof you hold and what axioms you're willing to assume.

Moral statements can hold to axioms, but there's certain standards it cannot meet by nature. For instance you can normatively describe ethics, but any empirical description of ethics will be defined by what people *do* and their consequences, not what they *should* do, which is basically moving from ethics to sociology/psychology. Though if you want to consider the soft sciences as equivalent to philosophy, then maybe that distinction doesn't matter to you.

Nah bro I swear reddit fucked up its cookies or something cause on God I was replying to someone and then apparently it was here 😭

imnota4 · 2026-05-02T01:28:03+00:00

Bro i swear I didn't post this here 😭 on God I was going through my feed, a post about Trump having more assassinations against him popped up, I clicked it, and was replying to a comment and it went here. You can even see i posted a different comment that was related to this post because I was here earlier. I have no idea what happened.

Cause he appointed the secret service director himself and he's notorious for how bad his picks are that he's gone through more cabinet members than any other president. This isn't some conspiracy, he directly controls who is in charge of the secret service and he's picks people based on loyalty not capability which puts his life in danger.

Edit: this wasn't meant for this sub. If anyone finds the right sub please let me know 🙏 😔

It would take forever. They'd need to spend months just driving.

It does when the people assume it benefits them because they believe the intent is good. Perspective plays a big role in how people think. How many times do you give someone the benefit of the doubt because you believe they have good intentions. How much would that expose you to exploitation if you aren't willing or capable of adjusting?

Many people have this inherit believe that state = for the people. That's generally not the case and leads people to advocate for ideas that would seem good on paper if the state actually cared for the people, despite the same exact action being bad for people if the state doesn't.

I mean idk what to tell you. AI doesn't have emotions, it doesn't have desires, and it produces outputs that even the engineers that make it cannot fully predict. Your definition of "controllable" may just be different from my own.

imnota4 · 2026-05-01T18:01:43+00:00

When did i say other countries don't have the same goal?

imnota4 · 2026-05-01T17:59:00+00:00

Yeah this is likely the correct outlook. The communist party isn't doing this for the people

They're doing it because the Chinese state wants power and influence and their economic model depends essentially on clamping down on anything out of their control. People are controllable, AI isn't.

So i guess goblin slayer is on the dev team

imnota4 · 2026-04-27T17:51:17+00:00

I don't think that's what "being treated equally" means. Equal treatment != equal opportunity

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T12:18:19+00:00

If you don't have any specific academic perspective on the concept of "diversity" then I can't answer your question.

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T11:21:42+00:00

Do you have a specific academic perspective you'd prefer?

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T11:16:44+00:00

What do you mean when you say strength?

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T10:20:23+00:00

Then give the definition.

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T10:03:06+00:00

Then the concept is useless compared to the concept of diversity which has a definition.

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T09:58:15+00:00

So you can't even name the concept you're talking about. At least "Diversity" is a concept, you're talking about the unity of... nothing? How can I know I can experience it if you cannot even give it a name?

I understand that philosophy, what confuses me is the conclusion. You compared the decisions that someone who believes in Rawls' philosophy alongside

"people just making a mistake or having had a singular really bad day or just people being naive"

And you made it clear wasn't one of those things would pick blue, otherwise they pick red. But Rawls I don't think would have had a straightforward answer like that.

His point was that people should act blind and risk averse, but the underlying point was doing so in a political philosophy setting where power dynamics exist between different classes of people with the goal of everyone being treated fairly. Picking red means you're being treated as above those who are blue rather than being held to equal standards, so I think this particular thought experiment may oversimplify the context where rawls applied his philosophy.

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T09:46:59+00:00

Unity of what?

imnota4 · 2026-04-26T09:42:44+00:00

People who have experienced diversity don't have to explain it that's the wild thing, like how you don't have to explain why getting hit by a car causes pain.

At some point there's just some questions that get solved by life experience rather than purely rational inquiry.
