Good bye free speech. Hello unbridled control and censorship.

Yeah. It's always a conspiracy until it isn't.

And the news pits us against one another because God forbid we all get along and work together. That would be the real threat.

Don't kid yourself. It was intentional. We should all be getting really worried about these platforms.

You feel that cold breeze? The future is coming and it's chilly.

Sure. Until public opinion is blocked and censored on the very platforms that need reformed. This is Monopoly 101. C'mon man!

Cool project!

Feedback: Please reduce the range of your price filter. All the bounties are under the $500 range. This makes the range slider pointless beyond the first 1%. On a mobile device it's near impossible to select a meaningful range that returns results.

Solution: Make the upper bound max value a dynamic variable of the current highest bounty with some padding and rounding up to a nice number.

Woah! Totally forgot about this. This was the go to chat client on all my Linux boxes back in the day. Was a great piece of must have software back when IM was the primary communication method among my internet friends.

This only makes sense if your underlying assumption is that the less violent are reproducing more offspring now. Your reference study merely shows that the phenotypical traits have a strong correlation with the behavior traits (in at least foxes). This selection requires offspring but its seems the parent is referencing a hormonal change due to social behavior.

I agree with the premise, that social and environmental norms can influence hormones, but the fox study is a different phenomenon altogether.

I enjoyed this article.

However, one possible explanation is that much of what the article calls culture simply doesn't matter anymore.

Carriage Horse fashion seems stuck as well but people moved on to automobiles and then that went through rapid iterations. Maybe peak fashion or peak culture is a thing and becomes wasteful after a certain threshold. Also the fact all media is available at anyone's fingertips in a second means that they don't have to wait for the mass media gate keepers to finish milking trends before a new consumer identity starts being marketed because You can have Anything Right Now!

Were a less material society now so it seems inevitable that material culture will decline.

Agreed. It occupies some weird uncanny valley of design that is hard to pin point.
