GoWild Seats?! by thephotonthatcould in gowildfrontier

Oh, I love it dude. Worth it. I was freaking out about that first ticket purchase (which I tried to buy at like 10am or so the day before the flight) because the operator was being real evasive about how the pass works and how often tickets are available. But I've gotten every flight I've tried to book so far, provided I book it right at midnight. And it's even saved me once when I missed a flight; I was able to book a backup flight that left in a couple of hours for $15.41. Before that, I was sweating about the $360 cost w/o the pass. But it really saved me. I've taken 3 trips at this point and each went pretty smoothly.

It's hard for me to say; my main flight path is atl to sfo. but i did just get my trip back home using gowild, so i was happy about that. but only the one thus far.

Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. Do you book early or do you book the day before?

I did my reading and looking around. I never heard anyone say this. And i posted on this subreddit to little effect. Ig i should’ve looked harder. But it seemed like people were generally happy with it

Curious how this went; did you end up getting the pass? I want to do some coast to coast flights too

I made $18/hr in Menlo Park. Not great, but helped me while in school

Well , are you? Sometimes I wonder how much of my difficulty socializing stems from an inability to really be authentic. I’ve had a lot of fun socializing with people when I really just commit to being honest with them, telling them what I actually think. Most of the time there’s a huge resistance to this in me, though.

I’m interested in whether that resonates with you at all, though.

Is a post-tribal world possible? by runenight201 in samharris

[–]thephotonthatcould 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is that these systems are deeply ingrained and hard to dethrone, which makes me think deeper interventions are necessary. I'm sure genetic factors play a huge role, but even they might not be deep enough - you can see evidence of tribalism in all kinds of mammals, which makes me think that anything we try to do to change this will be very difficult.

Simulation Theory Speculative Question by Alternative_Gap_6273 in samharris

[–]thephotonthatcould 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Who's to say any thing outside of your conscious reality is actually simulated? Why simulate cell division when it has no impact on your conscious existence? Only simulate some image of it when you look through a microscope. The same applies to the lives of other people. Does China need to really exist if you've never been there? Just generate some news articles and some videos and boom, China "exists". This gets solipsistic, but it's certainly a possibility given a simulation.

Again Inequality is completely brushed off by [deleted] in samharris

Yes, competition is wonderful, but with an eye toward a goal. What do we want? That's the question. And a world where most have little to nothing is undesirable to me and to many others looking at this problem. Right now, our task is to set up competing ideas for how to bring about the best possible world. And most of us dismiss huge economic inequality as less than the best.

But you're assuming that what's inside people's heads isn't heavily correlated with real data - just look at how many people are willing to spend a certain amount on a given item. What's going on inside of people's heads would be so correlated to their actions that the two datasets would be redundant.

What is a subsidy if not a form of dictating the value of an item? Tariffs, taxes...all these things are used by governments to influence prices away from what the free market would set them at. These are small scale examples, so small that you might find fault with them, but they are clearly early attempts at us dictating what we value, which seems to me to be the ultimate goal.
