>In its more extreme versions, populism posits that there is no objective truth at all and that everyone has "their own truth," which they wield to vanquish rivals. nice projection from the "fact-checking" camp there, harari you WEF nigger
>Is a single individual capable of doing all the necessary research to decide whether the earth's climate is heating up and what should be done about it? How would a single person go about collecting climate data from throughout the world, not to mention obtaining reliable records from past centuries? sure, but that single individual is capable of pointing out that putting a temperature sensor in an asphalt parking lot is going to skew your data you don't need to be a michelin chef to point out someone's cooking is shit

small brain: "According to the naive view, astronomers derive 'real information' from the stars, while the information that astrologers imagine to read in constellations is either 'misinformation' or 'disinformation'. If only people were given more information about the universe, surely they would abandon astrology altogether." midwit WEF brain: "No matter what we think about the accuracy of astrological information, we should acknowledge its important role in history." galaxy billionaire brain: "astrology works"
>Contrary to what the naive view of information says, information has no essential link to truth, and its role in history isn't to represent a preexisting reality. Rather, what information does is to create new realities by tying together disparate thingsใผwhether couples or empires. Its defining feature is connection rather than representation, and information is whatever connects different points into a network. Information doesn't necessarily inform us about things. Rather, it puts things in formation. Horoscopes put lovers in astrological formations, propaganda broadcasts put voters in political formations, and marching songs put soldiers in military formation. see 95% of the text like the above make sense but unfortunately the last 5% of harari being a WEF nigger sullys it
>Sometimes, a truthful representation of reality can connect humans, as when 600 million people sat glued to their television sets in July 1969, watching Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walking on the moon. The images on the screen accurately represented what was happening 384,000 kilometers away,
>Sometimes erroneous representations of reality might also serve as a social nexus, as when millions of followers of a conspiracy theory watch a YouTube video claiming that the moon landing never happened. just can't stop yourself from being the arbitrator of truth huh you WEF nigger

>But some stories are able to create a third level of reality: intersubjective reality. Whereas subjective things like pain exist in a single mind, intersubjective things like laws, gods, nations, corporations, and currencies exist in the nexus between large numbers of minds. More specifically, they exist in the stories people tell one another. The information humans exchange about intersubjective things doesn't represent anything that had already existed prior to the exchange of information; rather, the exchange of information creates these things. yes some people refer to them as egregores
>While bureaucracies are never perfect, is there a better way to manage big networks? sure but what if we just periodically cull the bureaucrats instead of abolishing them completely
Not even Milei dared apply the most extreme bureaucracy efficiency strategies I suggested (decimation of bureaucrats whenever there's missing money or it the office is not productive)
I believe it'd take a single case of 9 bureaucrats being forced at gunpoint to beat a tenth bureaucrat to death with their bare hands for all bureaucrats in the organization to become immensely efficient overnight.
@nerthos Most offices would love an opportunity to beat one of the guys in the office to death. I don't think government offices are substantially different in this regard.
@p @nerthos government bureaucrats at least don't seem to turn on their own a whole lot, sometimes they'll toss a couple scapegoats into the fire but all the same scams keep running
@bajax @nerthos I think it happens because it is an understandable thing that adds drama to underscore rising stakes. But I do not have any firsthand knowledge of common Arabic idioms and I don't know of an equivalent expression in English.
I had an Egyptian friend long, long time back, and he tried to teach me the stock phrase for when someone is spaced out ("How many trash cans is the world worth?") because I was always spaced out.
The alleged Russian analogue, "How long are you going to fuck that cow?", is a little more vivid.
@p @bajax @vii @nerthos been a big russian fan for years. Internet racists keep telling me its a retarded snow orc language so I shouldn't learn it buuuut that's kind of the point. It is so charmingly stupid. "The words can go anywhere, as long as they're all there"... a language written entirely by drunks... it's amazing.
@f0x @bajax @nerthos @vii Well, people say it's retarded, but like...who do you wanna talk to, who do you wanna read? I tend to get along with Russkies.
@f0x @vii @p @nerthos it's weird how representative of every russian I've ever met they really are. just extreme idk. zen, they takes shit as it comes. something something russian fatalism?
@bajax @f0x @vii @p @nerthos isnt zonk some sort of massive faggot though? exclude him from representing russians, we don't have gay sex here, no matter what hohols and americans might spread
@lina @bajax @f0x @nerthos @vii In Iran, officials will end speeches with "Death to Israel, death to America", like as casually as US politicians say "My fellow Americans", and that doesn't get noted, just "alleged Holocaust denial".
[did not read paper] "Oh, no, he denied the Holocaust." "Why are the newspapers so fixated on the Holocaust?" "The author and the editor want me to dislike the person described. The CIA wants public support for a war in Iran." [Also did not read paper but already knew the CIA wants public support for a war in Iran.]
@p @bajax @f0x @vii @nerthos i mean why don't you say that he denies the holocaust AND wants death to israel and USA? or do they think people will be overflowed with negatives and will start to suspect something?
@lina @bajax @f0x @nerthos @vii Because "he wants death to America" doesn't bother Americans (get in line, we can't be stopped) and "he wants death to Israel" doesn't read as universally as "he slew the sacred cow".
@p @bajax @f0x @vii @nerthos i'm pretty sure purely because of the delusional "we're unstoppable" angle that it should've been pointed out that he says death to america as a negative because he questions the american unstoppability as do i tbh
@lina @bajax @f0x @nerthos @vii No, it's actually because Israel is essentially a projection of the US into the Middle East, and they all extremely hate Israel. (US:Israel::PRC:DPRK is accurate but neither AIPAC nor BDS is willing to say the quiet part out loud and the conflict there is largely fake. The CIA was using Palestine as a processing plant for Afghani poppy, which is why the US pulled out of Afghanistan right before Israel bombed Gaza: cheap fentanyl meant he-ron was no longer lucrative enough to fund Hamas.)
Explain the CIA/Afghan/Hamas heroin pipeline and then get back to me. If your copypasta were correct, half the shit we do would make no sense. Why the CIA would be helping to prop up Hamas to begin with would be fucking retarded if the US government is secretly run by Israel.
@p @f0x @vii @lina @nerthos I have a suspicion things are far more insane than you reckon and it's gonna take me too long to really lay out a case... but I think it has been (maybe only up until recently) in a particular corrupt israeli ruling party's interests to empower hamas.
@bajax @f0x @lina @nerthos @vii Yeah, I've heard that one. I think the people with ethnic opinions tend to gravitate towards the same opinion on Israel, and there are about a million things that theory fails to account for. Ultimately, Israel needs the US, and the US doesn't rely on Israel for its continued existence, and if they controlled the US government, they would have been able to reverse this: they have not. Anyway, I don't live there so we need some girls/priests to turn zonk straight so that threads don't turn into discussions of Israel.
@p @bajax @f0x @vii @lina This isn't really an ethnic opinion though, it's pure pragmatism. It's exactly the kind of shit I'd do if I was evil and in a government.
@p @bajax @f0x @vii @lina I'm in my 30s, it's been a very long time since I gained the ability to differentiate "things I like" and "things as they are". Pragmatism is by definition "an approach that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application.", the direct opposite to acting on shoulds.
I don't need to like the jews to look at the pieces that are moving on a board and focus on said movements rather than the faces of the players. Are Israel and the USA thoroughly evil factions? definitely. Am I discussing that as opposed to what they're actually doing? no.
> Pragmatism is by definition "an approach that evaluates theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical application.", the direct opposite to acting on shoulds.
Evaluate: "To fix the value of; to rate; to appraise." "Practical application" and "acting" require "should". The course of action is not a "fact", it is a proposal. You cannot "evaluate" anything without applying your values. The sun comes up: this requires no evaluation. It requires no action on your part.
> Are Israel and the USA thoroughly evil factions? definitely.
@p @bajax @f0x @vii @lina Hey now I can tolerate bad faith arguing in the spirit of being assholes online but apologize for calling me English, that's too far
@p @bajax @f0x @vii @lina I didn't argue in bad faith at all, you somehow understood my argument as something else entirely than what I was saying. >you demanded that I "justify an aggressive war" I didn't demand you justify anything, you just misinterpreted it as such. You don't need to justify it because you're not part of either government.
I disagree, but I don't care. A low-effort contradiction without presenting additional information is already worthless noise unless you include jokes or attach pornography.
