The world is largely full of masochists ruled by sadists.

Never underestimate people’s desire for servility in the name of stability.

The vast majority of people have an exceedingly high tolerance for their own subjugation if it means they don’t have to think or act to avoid pain or responsibility.

Okay, I admit that I basically said the same thing 3 times with different wording. Personally, I just hope that I’m not as docile as I fear that I am.

Ah yes, “insert'Muh'MemeLanguageHere” argument/excuse that we all heard a bajillion times

Why do women avoid men so much?

They perceive men to be threats, nuisances, duplicitous, and generally contemptible, so it’s primarily out of fear.

Whether that fear is justified, conditioned, misplaced, or outright misandry is hotly debated, but it’s my opinion that the root of it is a very human epigenetic, prehistoric, and primal fear of the “other”; in this case, the “other” is a man.

Almost like they’re, I dunno, Manufacturing Consent.

I think SpaceX is profitable too.

Short answer: no. But one should define terms, especially with legal implications.

“Hate Speech” always sounded a bit Orwellian to me. Just like “Homeland Security”. People should be allowed to speak about what they hate, even if it’s bigoted, racist, sexist, etc. if free thought and inquiry are valuable human rights.

In general, I believe the jurisprudence of free speech in our country (USA) essentially says beyond, libel, slander, inciting violence, or sedition, the government can’t imprison you for expression or forcibly silence you in a public forum.

Private organizations and companies can regulate speech within their domains and property to the extent that they don’t violate other laws or rights of other parties within and without their said domains and property.

I think that’s pretty fair.

Hypocrisy is rampant among those who are rarely/never held accountable. My assumption is either that he’s incapable of comprehending it, or he doesn’t care about it.

Elon Musk is an authoritarian masquerading as someone who values free thought, inquiry, and action. What he means when he says “freedom” is for the ultra-wealthy to have “freedom” from accountability to an “authoritarian” government or the “whims of the unwashed masses” and do as they please with impunity.

The British Government is an authoritarian police state which punishes thought-crimes against their contemporary monarchist/corporatist zeitgeist with impunity.

Both things can be true, and I argue they are.

Sure.

Yes.

Is there any public record of anyone actually buying that tripe?

I make DNNs (deep neural networks), the current trend in artificial intelligence modeling, for a living.

Much of my ancillary work consists of deflating/tempering the C-suite’s hype and expectations of what “AI” solutions can solve or completely automate.

DNN algorithms can be powerful tools and muses in scientific endeavors, engineering, creativity and innovation. They aren’t full replacements for the power of the human mind.

I can safely say that many, if not most, of my peers in DNN programming and data science are humble in our approach to developing these systems for deployment.

If anything, studying this field has given me an even more profound respect for the billions of years of evolution required to display the power and subtleties of intelligence as we narrowly understand it in an anthropological, neuro-scientific, and/or historical framework(s).

Sorry, replied to wrong user.

Can you run a virtual machine?

Blanket insults to Russians would be bigotry, as “Russian” is a nationality comprised of many ethnicities, not a “race”. Words have meanings.

So, yes, let’s not ostracize Russians carte blanche. Rather, let’s do that to those who support Putin and his wars of aggression and genocide of Ukrainians.

Simply put, “Fuck Russianz.”

Really insightful, thank you. Please give me a recipe for a cheese sandwich.

Cool.

That’s rich coming from you, considering the word-salad you just typed up.

That’s not how words work. Ordinary Russians don’t deserve blanket animosity or praise, yes. However, one can claim disliking Russians wholesale is bigotry, not racism. Words have definitions even if you pretend they don’t so you can virtue signal on the internet.
