  Means testing doesn’t work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Parents told to delete social media apps to prevent kids from seeing Hamas atrocities — Facebook, X, TikTok and other social media services have been filled with graphic imagery⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My tiktok feed is incredibly unkind to Israel with the footage of children either dead or weeping at the hospital beds of their parents. That is why this is happening. That is why they shut off the Internet and electricity in Gaza and that is why they want you to shut off your Internet as well. If you see what is happening in Gaza there’s a real possibility that global public opinion turns incredibly hard on the Israeli government.

  I’ve seen about 5 reporters break down crying on tiktok. I watched a doctor treating a patient learn about his children dying in an airstrike. This isn’t even graphic content. It is the raw human emotion and fear. Palestinians are putting out their goodbyes on social media and it’s heartbreaking.

  The Israeli government is a far right fascist government and it knows it can’t survive without Western support. This time it’s already well out what they’re doing. Even their defense of saying they have to fight against Hamas is ringing hollow. You can’t decry the death of Israeli civilians and then the world watches you bomb ambulances on Facebook.

  I just spent about 2 hours trying to figure out how to turn off google assistant always listening and turning off the driving mode for maps. Still can’t solve the maps thing. Looking for an alternative, this is getting so shitty.

  I bought a pixel because I couldn’t stand the bloatware that came from Samsung devices, now I can’t uninstall chrome or any google apps, fuck this.

  I do not. Rand explicitly does.

  I’m going to respond so hopefully you grow.

  Productivity is difficult to measure or define. Intelligence is similar. Regardless, neither of these things define value in a human life. Some people love to cook, some are great at reading comic books. One might be really good at watching TV. In the end, your preference for what is seen as valuable comes to your preference. There’s nothing objective about it. More concretely, in many engineering jobs great engineers are promoted into management positions for which they are ill suited. They make more money, are they not definitionally more productive? Yet the company and team is worse off.

  As for your question, Rand is not subtle about her thoughts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What more need be said about it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The premise that some people are just better than everyone else is not intelligent. Valuing a person’s worth as a human by measuring their productivity is genocidal.

  Your reasons are discussed in the post. Did you just read the first section and then get mad?
