It was your “civic duty” to rat out your neighbors, too. Your framing something as the moral position does absolutely nothing to make it so

Do you think that is a valid metaphor?

All he’s saying is that as a subset of the universe, whatever words you want to apply to describe your subjective experience, apply equally to the universe, since you are part of the universe. Not sure what “special” has to do with it

I think this is supposed to be a dig at antivaxxers, I wonder if the author legitimately believes it’s a valid metaphor. Like if I advocated against private prisons and someone said “LOL this person says we should all live outside!”, the leap in logic is equally big

I saw a “dead” comment with the following content, but I think the mods were wrong to delete it. The CCP is accurately described as the Nazis of our time. This is technically relevant to OP’s technical question.

“ The CCP are the Nazis of our time, and currently have border disputes with all of their neighbors. There's an arms race in that region because they won't respect WTO rulings. Huawei's founder is "former" PLA, which is the CCP's military arm. Huawei has gutted Western telecom competitors by dumping equipment on the West, which reduces tech job opportunities. Any Huawei router is one firmware update away from giving the CCP access to your network.”

> Any system that claims to work on that sort of input is almost certainly picking up socio-economic status of different races, or something similar, with no causal predictive power.

I wonder which will have more predictive power, the version where you let the AI do it’s thing or the version where you intervene to correct for things that are almost certainly wrong according to you.

Based on the behavior from TPTB it’s safe to assume he is just the journalist in the equation and that’s why the whole thing looks so bad for the US
