OP submitter here: Just so you know, I posted this to start the conversation. I actually agree with you completely and find this "experiment" really odd and intentionally attention-seeking.

Humans are irrational. We also value "feeling" safe. Some tricks sell the illusion for those people who can't trust 100% some technologies.

Of course I trust engineering, I know planes are safe: but when there is turbulance and I see a flight attendant just casually walking and not even reacting to it, I feel better.

Humans are still humans.

Of course, culture changes. Colective ideas and institutions adapt. But extremely slowly compared to advances in tech.

There was a dirty war between 'guerrilleros' (leftists revolutionaries) and the military and a lot of innocent people were killed as a result of both sides. She asked people to stop pretending that the revolutionaries were saints and that these victims' human rights should also be recognized. She has never made any claim like 'being in favour of state murdering people' or 'thinking the state didn't commit crimes against humanity'.

Stop spreading misinformation.

He literally did not say that. Why are you making stuff up?

> You can't love your country if you choose a non-sovereign currency as your national one.

What is this weak appeal to false nationalism argument?

Hate to be that guy because I know what you were trying to say, but not really, not necessarily. You can avoid eating for the first X hours of the day and then gorge yourself on a huge meal and be in a caloric surplus at the end of the day.

The thing you have to understand is that any central bank in the developed world is 10 times better than any version of the argentinian central bank of the last 50 years.

He advocates for free competition of currencies, but argentinians will choose the US dollar because people here already save on USD and were already saving on it for decades.

Yeah, the same guy who "heard from a cardiologist buddy" of his that 'no amount of exercise offsets the damage of sitting for 6-7 hours a days' (absolute bullshit icydk).
