Maybe it wasn't clear in my above comment, but I am not in favor of the status quo. My example was just to show how our current view is limited and we should very much strive for progress, since we don't know what is possible.
Did peasants in the middle ages believe in a constitutional democracy? And yes, I'm aware we don't live in a perfect democracy, but it would still seem like utopia to people from a few centuries ago.
Wow, looks amazing. Can't wait to get my new desktop and play this!
I do also make compelling rational discourse on the matter most of the time. Other times I make emotional ones out of frustration. Like all humans, I/we are a balance of rationality and emotion. One is not better than the other, they are complementary. You know, the whole apollonian vs dionysian thing.
On the contrary, I would argue that non vegans dim their emotional response, thus throwing away the very thing that makes them human.
Thank goodness for these "animal lovers" that are okay with killing and eating more than 10 land animals per year + god knows how many sea creatures. But hey, they bought some incestuous pure breed dog from a breeder for thousands of euros so they can pretend they care.
GDP is not a good indicator for quality of life for a bunch of different factors. You need to get your theory right before you try to look for high numbers

That part was from the original Times article that the author is criticizing. It's hard to get, because the author doesn't understand how to use quotes properly. But the fact that a liberal can even read and write is already an achievement, so let's not ask too much.
"Socialist economies also banned independent trade unions and, often, resorted to slave labour."
The author's inability to understand socialism is baffling. By the very definition of socialism, states that do this are not socialist. He is basically picking at capitalist economies that call themselves socialist for populist acceptance.
I thought it was some dumb clickbait, but it's just dumb Elon
Oh so settling for giant corporations using AI to plagiarize other's work without liability is getting us to a better tomorrow? Interesting
That's ideologically cool and all, but in today's reality megacorps will be getting paid for the labor of others which get nothing in return and will further accelerate the divide of wealth.
Oh ok so just a simple powershell command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
Totally easy to remember
I've been using Inoreader for a couple of years and it's just perfect. I was using Feedly before this, but Ino was just better at the time.
