Why would supporting Biden be showing more of signal than voting for someone else? If I’m in a state that is going to be for Trump since it’s been Republican for every election since the party’s inception, what is the benefit in sending the message I voted for Biden vs John Doe in the gray party?
But is there any path for that to actually happen? In the US multiple recent presidential elections the popular vote didn’t align with the electoral college, and I haven’t heard of any actual movement towards changing that
Duuuuddee I wish I ever had a popular voting stance on “either side” lol
Yeah, whoever is benefiting from those changes is probably counting on it
That’s why education and reading books that disagree with your life, culture and understanding can be very beneficial
Yeah I don’t get why solar punks hate on crypto? Do they like the wastefulness of fiat? Do they understand how much non renewables are used to process a single credit card payment? Or do they have a better form of money?
Crypto could be solar punk, just requires people to use… Solar power… Or am I missing something?
Go back to school, easier to make friends if you’re all stuck in a room together
Needs better quantum resistance!
Some are company matched or funded entirely, even for minimum wage jobs in the US. But I get your sentiment
You’d be surprised, since a lot of people have 401k, IRA, and other automatic investments
you are a printer we are all printers
Ummm actually… he laundered money through a newly invented coin. If he only had bitcoin he probably couldn’t have figured out how to scam those people
So thinking on this more, there are many studies that are impossible to replicate, either due to time, money, or team size. Think about weather studies, no human lives long enough, so we have to push the belief back on the original data being accurate. Human studies that span millions of people are also hard for small teams or individuals to replicate. Also hard to have a particle accelerator for most people, so we have to trust the accelerators function properly, the data collected is not malformed and the interpretations are also correct (the last bit is what we could possibly double check if we had direct access)
I love the scientific method as well, but I think we still have some limits. Even if we had infinite time, but without infinite resources we might not be able to replicate everything “scientifically proven” (and even then, due to space time curvature, it might not be possible if infinite time and infinite resources had a fixed physical point, but that is probably Einsteinian philosophy)
Also, please prove me wrong. I’d rather believe the scientific method was 100% true, no joking.
Totally agree that most of the tools are there, but how many trials have you personally duplicated? The average person?
So our brains were crafted to intake “reality” at a specific speed and quality. We can’t see things at the atomic, much less quantum reality, nor understand the massive scale of the planet, much less the universe. Most “facts” are more beliefs from what others have suggested to be, than individually researched facts. Even our scientific method is a bit wanting in this area, since if we hear X, how can we prove X? We just need to take other’s word that they did the correct process, didn’t lie during any steps, didn’t have any bad data unknowingly, especially in a culture where reproducibility is not a high priority so most scientific papers are not thoroughly tested and retested
That’s roughly our skeletal social structure around “facts”, and we’re heading face first into a world of deep fakes and misinformation, to an extent never seen before in humanity. So maybe we should all extend each other a bit more patience and kindly help each other through these uncertain times
So what happens to the device if your phone does get plugged in? Firewall at the input?
Cool, you seem fun
