The outcomes those values achieve.

Do things away from your screen in the real world and form friendships around that.

An addict with addict friends needs to find non addicted friends to escape the addiction.

You are filtering out politically engaged people who have assesed the current mechanisms of state to be too flawed to be worth continued interaction.

This is likely quite a large group.

Nuclear without greed is fine.

Its only where shortcuts have been taken with cooling that there will be issues.

It's because ignoring rights happens faster than they can be protected.

Move fast enough with sufficent scale and you can eliminate peoples ability to protect their own rights before they even realise they are under threat.

Sometimes friction in government is necessary for individual liberty.

I would say they create more addictive content than people with lives away from social media.

But that doesnt help with building 1:1 connections.

Why instead of?

Do both.

Not even close chief.

Earth has been a rich, life sustaining planet in far hotter conditions then anything we are projected to take it to.

We can kill billions of ourselves, but short of ww3 earth will crack on just fine.

Social media emotional hot-takes dont match the numbers.

We are still screwed though.

At one point we considered adding artifical delay to responses because irrational users dont trust something that finishes fast, even if its the same quality.

How empirical are your comparisons of new and old outputs?

Users dont understand the externalised cost of free services.

Worse than that, they feel entitled to them, to the point that the actual expectation of having to pay for something that requires effort to maintain is treated as an insult.

Because i would rather solve the problems close to home, the problems involving those billionaires.

Im not going to put effort into turning those other people in another country into a new cash crop for billionaires.

Their needs are met.

They are turning to racism because of their wants and fears.

And if you are any kind of strategic thinker when faced with that problem, you will do two things

1. Invest in propaganda to ensure the US becomes hostile to immigrants.

2. Invest in opening yourself up to immigration.

China is openly doing 2. It would be foolish to assume they are are not also investing in 1 and secretly cheering on the current administrations hateful stupidity.

Immigration is the US superpower, and everyone who wants to knock them off the number 1 spot is eroding it.

I found it fun to read.

War against someone who wants my society eradicated provides a lot of value to my people.
