Sorry, wordcel, but this shape rotator designs, prototypes and validates motherboards for telecom backbones you rely on. I prefer to do real things not circumlocute online.

Argumentation is vacuous display of language faculty.

I’m off to play music with friends. Ciao

The cause is collusion between political and private entities to insulate a mathematical minority from taxation.

Trying to change the narrative altogether while claiming solidarity is disingenuous bullshit.

“Hey that guy lit the house on fire! I have 4K video and a confession!”

“Yeah I saw him too! But did he really or was it the gas and the lighter? Who knows. We should look into it.”

“Ehh don’t resort to ad hominem” says the poster who generalized everyone else dunking on society.

Go look in a mirror and see yourself in your own complaints, one of billions. It’s not just you but it is you too.

K, thanks. Bye. You won’t be missed.

I agree. As an EE by education, I find CS grads and SWEs to be clowns.

“What’s that? You made purpose built counting machines count? You’re welcome.”

The foot fungus eater and the latest DSL dealer can all pound sand.

I laugh at mathematically correct languages like Haskell. If mathematical correctness is a goal, may as well build it into the chip and leave a small programming environment to correct errors and give up on programming all together.

Nah, you’re wrong too. Tax the rich.

Their actions the last 30 decades and even 40 are easily Googled

They’ve collided with government to expropriate worker wealth, or more accurately, propagated the myth a mathematical minority are the keystone to physical reality itself

They’re only a few mere mortals and their riches are only possible so long as the majority graciously do not kill them

They’ve always wanted that: https://www.nytimes.com/1997/02/27/business/job-insecurity-o...

Let go of the finance hallucinations and keep logistics going. Let the fiat rich choke themselves out clutching their pearls

Nihilism is not lack of a philosophical framework, it’s awareness but not acting on it

SWEs could halt the fiat economy tomorrow through collective action, but FOMO on the latest in electron state management is too strong for the geniuses lizard brains I guess

Point to a period in time when things were perfect?

Go in semantic circles if you want, these things are displacing old cultural norms; they run counter to established culture

Maybe log off the fucking internet where you spin in circles in vain seeking a perfect solution and tackle those problems you called out? Nah, much easier to be an energy vampire from your armchair

Incompleteness theorem implies none of them are “right” in a “one true axiomatic model” kind of way.

Each is “right” so long as they are consistent with our consensus driven glyph system that exists to normalize discussion, and should never be taken as a 1:1 model of reality.

The glyph systems are not a pipe.

So we change the social system.

“What!! Impossible!!”

Yet in the US we do not identify as British, don’t speak Latin, and <50% believe in god now, down from 80% around 2000, Ai/Ml are threatening copyright regimes, wfh/abandonment of obligation to prop up the war era normalization of industrialization of everything to crank out tanks, and canned food…

Your problem is solving itself. It’s just one of those problems that takes time; which is a euphemism for generational churn

Google “French debt restructuring”. Google Reaganomics looting pensions to deflate the… erm… exiting generation to invest in the kids

There’s plenty of historical precedent in human history to rethink the social contract without violence

Counter culture is there it’s just abstract now:

wfh

automating away exploitative labor

intentionally not having kids/imploding nuclear family as the norm

<50% in US are convinced god exists

local AI/ML threatening copyright rent seekers

steam/proton

online retail impact on brick and mortar

It’s a problem for Elon’s of the world as they might have to do actual work, not send out ridiculous demands for everyone else while he blocks people on Xitter for the lulz: https://preview.redd.it/musk-email-to-tesla-today-v0-i7mxpgk...

There is no divine mandate the human economy perpetually grow. No god is mandating line must go up.

That argument is probably rooted in fear the elites will have to do the crappy jobs too: https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/recode/23170900/leaked-amaz...
