Yeah… hasn’t happened yet. Don’t see why it would, now.

So it is… should have read the sidebar. Thanks.

WTF - is this wall of text a bot post?

Twitter became a cesspool of bots and hatred many years ago…

That’s nice… it’ll go nowhere and it’ll do nothing.

We would tell you, but you really shouldn’t know…

Trump doesn’t give a fuck… laws don’t apply to him.

That sucks…

If you have the money to spend, then probably yes.

Apparently the United States…

because humans are more important

How? Why? We are by far the most destructive animal on the planet. We would exterminate any other species that ever got close to doing as much damage.

The whole point - that you seem adamant to avoid - is who gives a flying fuck about ‘the rationalist community’. Why is the author writing about it at all? (There is an answer to this, but you’re not interested in that.)

They also conveniently make sure to migrate their smear from just ‘the rationalist community’ to be ‘the skeptic community’. Of course, they never really define either, so it’s conveniently guilt by association for any one rational or skeptical. And it works! Here you are jumping on their bandwagon, smugly proclaiming how fucking smart and better you are, even though your main contention was patently false.

I completely agree… that’s a way of restating the point I was trying to make. Author didn’t align on being rational. They hitched their wagon to some rationalists and then found out they are flawed which left them disillusioned.

Author - you were never in love with rational thought. You were in love with some individuals. When those individuals proved human, you decided the problem was the principles of rationality.

Part of being rational is knowing and accepting that all humans can and will be irrational at times. We all suffer from the 'human condition.

You don’t need to give up on being rational. You need to double down on it.

Because Trump would be sure there are federal thugs there to intervene and because Netanyahu would stay in a safe location at all times.

How sad…

He can’t possibly do it, legally. By announcing it, he earns cred with people who like him and ensures that he couldn’t possibly do it even if it were legal. It’s a win-win for him as now he gets credit, but doesn’t have to do anything.

I keep checking… mine’s always empty. Now what?

Yep - an extra $288/yr for the same shitty service.

I asked AI and it didn’t think so…
