  1. Sure thing, because having no public health just makes everybody less sick

  2. And if you dont show some initiative, you deserve to die, that is what the fanatic capitalist right says, am I correct?

  3. Automating consumers - that's what advertising is about.

    If they can save money they will be motivated to eliminate it. At some point you will have either workers working for nearly nothing or machines. In both cases, people cant put food on the table.

    And in a free market, exactly what is supposed to happen when the price of food is higher than one's salary?

    What I'm trying to say is that "in the long term there will be no debt" is true for any economical method if the long term is long enough. Therefore, such a guarantee is meaningless.

  7. regardless of how scientifically correct or incorrect it was

    So it means you're concerned that some of it IS correct? I have no idea what is correct and what not, I just know that throughout the history of mankind, truth had a tendency to prevail over ideological dogma, be it chrsitianity or islam. Do you think that your dogma (and yes, the idea that some truths are better left unknown is by definition a dogma) is stronger than these two?

    Note: I am not condoning racism in anyway. I am saying that I believe that trying to hide scientific facts forever never works. Maybe it is better to change our society so that if we one day end up discovering that some group has lower IQ, they won't have to suffer for it.

    It coudl also be the opposite way. What if what humans need is just something to occupy them? In the past we had to settle for a social life to do that, and had to be nice to shitty people and tolerate opinions differing from our own. Now that we have personal mother boxes, we no longer need the crutch of social life to stave off boredom.

    How come go is slower than java? It compiles to native code and is more low level (except for channels and goroutines). Do you have any idea how java is faster?

    Golang with its ad hoc interfaces, ever changing specs, missing apis, and dynamic typing when generics are needed, may end up introducing just as many security holes as c if it becomes popular.

    While I do agree these claims by themselves are not racist, I did notice a strong correlation between these claims and people who are racist or support racists. Does it mean that everyone with these opinions is racist? No. Does it make sense to mistake them for one? I dont know, for me it is just the same as commenter "Train0987" who used "trans" as a pejorative.

    Ironically enough, i just realized, I admitted the reason to associate these claims with racism is because the person doing the association is a bit of a bigot on his own. Like all of us, I guess.

    Why the fuck did this get +5? There are several fallacies here:
    1) facism = left, funny, I dont remember mussolini being left wing.
    2) antida violence is a major danger - the radicals who actually ran over people with a car a few months ago were neo nazi right wingers.
    3) the world is better and you should accept it - this is the classical argument of facists and dictators to justify their crimes.
    4) Tyranny brings happiness, liberty is sad but honest - if this was true, much more people would support tyranny. In the end, tyranny only begets more suffering.
    5) Liberty is being bitter about the world and thinking we must always be at war with each other - this is only true if you are a 15yo or a darwinist..
