Same reason that food isn’t free.
Capitalism relies on the violent deprivation of basic human needs in order to create exploitable victims.

Pretty sure almost every other country also inflicted or was subjected to colonialism/imperialism.
Sure, people in Belgium also have dreams of home ownership. That’s part of why they genocided people in Africa.

Generalizing and nazifying doesn’t actually make your bootlicking sound reasonable.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 1 day ago:
Banks are capitalist AF. Literally the heart of capitalism.
Pretty disgusting to hear these leeches framed as “workers”.

Real cool corporate press release smh.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
Jesus explicitly rejected the old laws. For example, the stoning of the adulteress, new covenant, etc… It’s all over the gospels.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
This is objective fact.
No. It’s subjective labeling far removed from facts.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
You’re saying it not hearing it.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
So why are there directives on how to run a church in the official doctrine of this religion?
B/c the religion was invented by people who run churches. Kinda obvious.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
Guess what… The “canonical bible” was made by people not god.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
I wouldn’t do all the awful things he does or punish anyone
This kind of wacky belief is a terrible foundation for both religion and atheism.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
Yes. Dude is a fraud.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
B/c the whole point of Jesus was pointing out how those old laws are worthless.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 days ago:
You’re talking about the gospels maybe, not the bible.
- Comment on The Economist on using phrenology for hiring and lending decisions: "Some might argue that face-based analysis is more meritocratic" […] "For people without access to credit, that could be a blessing" 3 days ago:
The Economist is generally a pretty good news source,
Gotta be drinking the pseudo-science sauce to believe this.

A primary application of “AI” is providing blackboxes that enable the extremely privileged to wield arbitrary control with impunity.

It’s completely normal for fascists to promote pseudo-science.
Indeed their publication is named after one of the worst pseudo-sciences.
- Comment on So much... 5 days ago:
euclidean geometry is famously complete
Nah.
this doesn’t mean that “it’s impossible to create any consistent set of math statements that completely describes everything,”
It says far less than that: “It’s impossible for a mathematical system containing the natural numbers to be both complete and consistent.”
Reality has almost nothing to do with it.
reality itself could be a complete system, understandable from both the outside and inside if only viewed at the right angle…
This has been largely debunked.
hilbert’s dream is not dead yet,
I dunno what his dream was, but Hilbert’s program is very much dead.
- Comment on So much... 5 days ago:
That’s not a flaw. It’s an amazing breakthrough.
It’s only a flaw for people who want to believe in some imaginary positivism.
- Comment on So much... 5 days ago:
No. The math used in physics is just a tiny tiny part of wider math.
- Comment on So much... 5 days ago:
This requires lots of Physics. The math required is relatively minimal.

- Comment on Amazon is testing an AI tool that automatically translates books into other languages 1 week ago:
And absolutely zero “AI” was used.
Apparently people will believe that any app is somehow “intelligent”.
- Comment on Amazon is testing an AI tool that automatically translates books into other languages 1 week ago:
I remember when this was called a translator app. Ofc now it’s “AI”. Same old grifter slop.
