@npub1u3t…c6ug the correct view is that auto bailouts are extremely bad but it's also silly to ask employers to pay above market rate for labor. it's the government's job provide a social safety net. most optimally via universal basic income.

@npub1khx…geyg to some extent, it has to be, otherwise you'd introduce deadweight loss (since part of the incentive to make wealth is to spend it on your children).

@npub1khx…geyg I think it's fair to caveat that there are different kinds of intelligence, something my hyperintellectual but very not streetwise librarian mother unintentionally taught me. and also that it's a metric that depends a lot on what you started with.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 Well I work for a self-driving car company and while I hate cars and will probably end up moving to the Netherlands to get away from them, and primarily use my electric car go bike, I do think the numbers already speak to there being significantly superior to human drivers. they always stop at stop signs, they respect speed limits, they recognize painted bike lanes etc.

@npub1khx…geyg I think it would be a lot more ethical if we eliminated domesticated species. No more starving strays, or or pets being beaten or food animals in the factory farming industry living miserable lives to be ground up into pet food. stop the whole enterprise.

@npub1zdp…vqv8
you want to eliminate ALL market failures, so ideally NO monopolies will exist.
the other issues here are macro. i'm not wading into that and i would say i generally agree with you.

2023-08-28 15:07:12

@npub1zdp…vqv8 that's a deeply flawed analogy. capitalism is just the framework. it's not the financial instruments. it's just the right to exchange them.
and those bundles of securitized financial assets are themselves merely a construction of objective mathematical primitives like net present value. finance formulas are just an objective truth like the laws of physics. I've written portfolio management software for renewable energy. finance is not some kind of strange artifice. it's like air.
