  • I don’t know, I still want to do something but I don’t think street protests are enough. And I am against violence.

    With Ukraine I donate money, early on I donated for buying drones. With Palestine it’s so bad that I think donations won’t reach them.

    Source: I grew up in 3rd world countries where pacific protests for teachers salary are common place but won’t solve anything. I’ve also lived in another 3rd world country with strong unions where at least once a month there was a 1000 people protest in the main street in the capital, plus ad hoc protests that are much bigger, and that country is still sinking very fast.









  • At this point monopoly of violence by the state would be an improvement

    Also sounds like America’s favorite hobby is back: shooting presidents.

    Was there any previous attempts of murder without shooting? And if anyone has statistics of assassinations in other countries by guns vs something else I’d be curious to see. Except Fidel, that’s going to take too long and skew the numbers 🤣🤣🤣


  • That graph is what the herd behavior looks like. But if you break down, take 2 people who are actually on bottom quartile. While on average they think they’re 3rd quartile aka a bit above average, one of them will have impostor syndrome and the other one will think they’re the smartest person around. Then for the top 2 smartest people around, one will know it for sure and the other will think of themselves less than the overconfident newbie described above.
