  • The great firewall of China doesn't work, lol, tech literate people use Tor.

  • Is there any podcast app that supports adblocker/sponsorblock?

  • You can't affect anything, so you can listen to him, I guess you can talk 'to him', but he won't hear you.

  • Oh yeah, being able to see what actually happened in the years when the Bible stories were supposedly happening would be really interesting.

  • I didn't specify, and although I'd imagined that it was more like a video you were watching in VR and you still needed to eat and sleep and whatever, I really love your concept and now prefer the immortal invulnerable version.

  • 🤣

  • What do you think I really mean? Killing anyone, including billionaires, is unethical. Maybe it could be justified in a utilitarian sense if it was guaranteed to lead to wealth redistribution and there was no other way, but even that isn't the case.

  • Of course. However killing billionaires is still immoral if there are peaceful solutions to redistributing the wealth, and useless if the act of killing them doesn't magically redistribute the wealth fairly (it doesn't)

  • Obviously redistributing their wealth would be good. Killing them doesn't automatically give you their wealth to redistribute, and redistributing without killing them is also a possibility you seem to be ignoring.

  • What? No, why would you assume those things about me. There are no ethical billionaires.

  • Oops, typo! I'll leave it up though

  • Just to be clear, you don't need to convince me there are no moral billionaires.

  • If you Xoom in it's pretty clear it's at least partially AI generated/edited

  • No, but neither ways have succeeded, we still live in capitalist system. I'd prefer to try a method that doesn't involve unnecessary killing and suffering.

  • Just because some of them indirectly kill people doesn't make it moral to kill them. Maybe if it actually would make the world better, you could have a utilitarian argument for it, but as long as you just kill individual billionaires and not creating a new socialist system they'll just be replaced by new billionaires. As I said, regardless of whether it's moral to kill them, it won't help.

  • Killing billionaires is both immoral and won't solve the problem. We need to kill the capitalist system that allows people to become billionaires.

  • People simultaneously seem scared of AI automating jobs, and of there being too many old people for the young people to look after as they'd be too busy with their jobs. Wouldn't those cancel each other out?

  • Weird, I can only load the website over tor
