I just read your writeup of Trump and it's real good. I almost feel bad for him.

RandomPauI posted:I'm not going to lie, I think a lot of liberals who think they would have been against slavery during the 1800s wouldn't have actually been against it. Like, at most they would have hoped to eventually end slavery at some point in the future. Well, they wouldn't want to get fired from their 12 hour factory shifts and have their 8 children starve.

Humans were being lovely to each other for dumb reasons long before Capitalism.

I can't get over how good your breakdown of the President is PJ. I knew a girl in high school who had her hand nearly bitten off by a dog as a 5 year old. Now she has a thick scar all through the middle of her palm the exact width of her hand at the time. Other stuff goes around it, but the scarred tissue just sits there. That's basically our president's psyche.

Actually we understand the paradox of tolerance. Edit- I may have misunderstood you DL. what are you identifying as authoritarianism happening there? Harold Fjord has issued a correction as of 00:33 on Jan 5, 2020 |

Dumb Lowtax posted:I just had the strangest idea. Did you read The Quantum Thief perchance? I've been mulling something very similar. I have a little text file on my desktop titled "insane musings" (is this ableist/being lovely? I can change it but I've only recently become aware that some people might find it lovely) full of various one sentence references to my highdeas and one of them is labeled "Cooperationism vs competitionism". At first I was thinking in terms of an un/selfish axis, but I think that may be overly reductive. Dumb Lowtax posted:Okay, so that's probably a common hypothesis. Here's the stranger one that just occurred to me:. Agreed on that first point. RN addressed a lot of the issues with this, but I just want to say that a left/right spectrum, or any 1 or 2 axis representation of human beliefs, is again entirely too reductive. This is where things like "horse shoe theory" and "fish hook theory" come from, people who are closer together on axes that aren't properly represented. The prisoners dilemma is a pretty good thought game, but being a game it fails to reflect the full range of complexity of betrayals and cooperations humans experience or the Lensman Arms Race style benefits that competition can create.
