Somehow I can say words and somehow it "means" something.

When you think about it a human is just a big gangly monkey. It's not so strange that we are suspicious about the prospect of hanging out with some random monkey you have never met before.

You should be advocating for proportional representation and abolishing the two party rule. That *should* be an easier thing to sell because it is in more people's interest.

Is this a good approximation? Modernism: all things can be reduced to simple truths Post modernism: all simple truths can be deconstructed and criticised Meta modernism: everything is simultaneously a complex continuum and also approximately reducible to simple truths

I suspect that much of the madness there is fueled by bots controlled by groups that want divisiveness and cynicism to flourish.

Capitalism is our dominant system for coordinating effort because it scales well. But it has fatal imperfections. Like externalities like pollution. Any part of the effect of an effort that isn't directly being paid for will eventually be disregarded by a capitalist process.

This take is a bit too cynical regarding why this is happening. It's not just happening because people are unwilling to make the necessary effort. It's happening because much of the effort is only useful if it happens in coordination with the effort of others. Coordination is hard.

I'm all for people spending their careers in rabbit holes but we also need more people building rabbit hole ladders for the important holes.

If we can test things we have scientific truth. If we can agree on things we have moral truth. Building a coherent and universally agreed upon cosmology on this should be a matter of overcoming complexity.

How can we as a species that believe in things move past the breakdown of grand narratives?

This seems like an important question?

Is it really that hard to find respected philosophers that has good answers to this? Or is it just me?

Is the amount of social echo chambers becoming fewer? Are we all slowly merging into one continuous sphere of mutually influencing echo chambers? Is the polarization actually a symptom of the social shock - a sort of tunnel vision - coming from echo bubbles leaking into each other?

It's the nature of this technology to make mistakes. People should be aware of that and not relly on it for critical decisions. I don't think they have hidden this.

They have always been quite open about it making mistakes. It says so just below the prompt input box when I log in.

Is it lying when they're not aware of the limits of their perception? Or are they just ignorant and limited?

It's a simple solution but not a generic one. They probably want to focus their efforts on generic ones and let third parties do the patchwork solutions.

What it should be doing is explaining it doesn't read text like we do so it's impossible for it to perceive individual characters.

Grid based battery technology is how we solve our fossil fuel dependency. Energy intensive factories can and probably will have their own battery parks.

To be good you need to be able to separate the good from the bad. The most powerful ability is to separate the almost objectively good from the almost objectively bad. The most evil ability is to separate the subjectively good from the subjectively bad.

Outrage culture is a Moloch pit. It causes us to focus on the worst of our enemies and our enemies to focus on the worst of us. And then there is no more room for anything else in the public discourse.

Feeling right now: People are their shells like violins are their strings. You don't get to know a violin by prying it open. You get to know them by trying to make music.

Occam's razor counterpoint: a simple explanation is often likely. But the existence of multiple plausible alternative explanations should make the simplest explanation relatively unlikely. The more plausible alternative explanations there are the less likely any single one of them should be.

What would actually happen if thousands of bitcoin servers were disconnected from each other for an extended period of time? How would you reach consensus if smaller networks continued to trade during the off period? A fragmented network should allow for double spending no?

It might be in some ideal form but idealists seemingly tend to fracture and head in a myriad of ways. Fascists on the other hand seem to have little problems with pointing to their leader.

There's very little indication that a collapse of a government will lead to a better government. A better government can come from a unified public though.

The reasonable take for me is that one side is obviously better than the other but having two options where one is okay-ish and the other catastrophic means that there has to be room to choose one and also fight for more options.

Coordination problems are the most actionable root cause of the tragedy of the commons problem. If we can find new ways to express and align our thought vectors we might have a chance to reach complex agreements in *large* groups.
