  • Norwegian tourist, 21, is barred from entering the US after ICE guards find meme showing JD Vance with a bald head on his phone

    Jump

  • What’s ironic is that there is no satire in that picture, like if it was of Obama it would not be a meme.

    It only works because JD Vance is that comical and awkward in real life.

    It reminds me of Russians getting arrested for having blank signs at the start of the war.

    Jump

  • Im on the fence, although I want it to burst, I also think AI has enough use cases for it not to be a bubble. It’s just that all those use cases are evil, hence why I fear it might not burst.

  • I’m going to stop responding because you don’t really talk against my point about power imbalances. You asked for examples, I gave you some, and then you responded by giving examples of horrible times in human history (you didn’t mention inequality and how it could relate to stability or why the examples relate to my point).

    Also, my original comment was about supreme power being something that the majority can get back if they truly wanted to, hence why we have revolutions. That’s still true without extreme power imbalances being problematic.

  • and they have the fucking gall to call us "parasites"

  • I’m talking about extreme power imbalances, and there have been multiple instances of extreme power imbalances throughout history. 5000 years ago wasn’t as extreme.

    I’ve already given you an example, here is another one: conditions leading to the French Revolution.

    Even though monarchies existed for a while, and also napoleon was a dictator, it was extreme poverty while the elites had extreme prosperity that lead to the fall.

    Similar to Russian the revolution. There is also the huge power imbalance and wealth inequality that lead to two world wars.

    My favourite is feudalism, basically all of Europe was stagnated until peasants had the leverage to ask for more.

    Also, ever since the Great Recession (which made inequality more extreme), most countries in the world have become less stable.

  • and they have the fucking gall to call us "parasites"

  • The fact that humans evolved in an environment without huge power imbalances is no more relevant than the fact that humans also evolved in an environment without huge temperature variations and yet are thriving on every continent save Antarctica

    We did though, losing our fur gave us that ability and then we went all around the globe around 50,000 years ago.

    Huge power imbalances, the most extreme being dictatorships, are not a barrier to human survival.

    Okay yeah this is a direct response. Your claiming huge power imbalances help us survive. It’s not true though, as authoritarian states are far less stable.

    Also, lots of inequality leads to fertility rates plummeting, now I’m not saying that’s morally good or not, but it’s direct evidence that huge power imbalance does affect survival negatively.

    IMO the best example is climate change. With huge power imbalances, we are literally killing our own future.

    Some power imbalance can work, the extreme just makes sure there is less resources for the majority to actually thrive, pure and simple.

  • That’s where I am, we went from being in disbelief that an active genocide is being supported by the US, to the US contemplating nuking a country cause Bibi says they have WMDs.

    Usually when I’m befuddled I resort to observational comedy.

  • and they have the fucking gall to call us "parasites"

    Jump

  • None of that has anything to do with my point. I never brought up happiness or morality, simply that:

    Humans are not designed for huge power imbalances

    I honestly don’t know how you went from that to nature is cruel.

    My point is more like: humans are not designed to take a lot of radiation so it’s not a mystery that there are problems when they are in a high radiation environment.

    Gonna stop responding here unless you have a direct rebuttal to the point above and not about morality or nature being cruel.

  • and they have the fucking gall to call us "parasites"

    Jump

  • I don’t find appeals to nature persuasive.

    Not sure what you mean by that.

    By definition, a living thing is meant to live in a certain environment. Evolution is all about adapting to your environment. So imo the best way to judge a living thing is to take its natural habitat into account to figure out what it is designed to do.

    So the issue with humans and all our modern problems is that we are not used to this environment, we have been evolved for more hunter gatherer lifestyles. Even if we got used to the Industrial Revolution, the computer age changed all that.

    Imo that’s one of the basis of socialism, it’s the recognition that capitalism makes a terrible environment. And that we must ask, how do we design our economic system to provide a better environment for humans (one that works better with what the body and mind expect).

    So this is why I brought up my original point. Humans are not designed for huge power imbalances, it’s why the extremely powerful lack empathy. It’s our invention that is doing more harm than good.
