  • Marketing Doesn't Work on Nerds

  • Yes, that is the generalization that the article pushed. It's not true, because developers are not homogeneous. The point of my statement is "if you are a developer, ignore this because it is not true. You don't have some sort of power that makes you immune to marketing. You're just as susceptible as the rest of us, just in a different way. Ya know, like everyone else is"

  • Yeah, but maybe we don't make that point on the statement that reminds people to be mindful of their beliefs and where they picked them up from. Feels like a thing that we should maybe encourage in people more, if anything.

  • I see what you're saying, but I'm done talking about this. Your logic is circular at its base, so there's nothing to talk about.

  • No, they aren't. Any one who thinks they are is more susceptible.

    Humans are social creatures, propaganda is a social contagion.

    The only people who could be would be those with no ties to anyone. Kind of a nonstarter for the whole "cooperative survival strategy" that humans got going on.

  • Gonna go out on a limb and say capitalism won't fix itself if it suddenly looked further ahead. Probably the opposite.

  • Is there a point to all this judgment or..?

    Oh no! The economic reality for young people requires them to sell themselves as influencers to make a living because we don't have actual, useful employment any more. Better make sure I cast my judgment on those who found some modicum of success doing so, so that the world and I know that I'm better than them! /s

  • What are the odds that we are all in a simulation?

    Jump

  • If it is possible to stimulate reality to this level of detail, very low. If it's possible that the simulation can then run another instance of the simulation with no loss of fidelity and that is true for any simulation within the stack, still low but much more likely than before. If the chance of this simulation existing is higher than the odds for a universe that can sustain intelligent life, then it becomes about even odds.

    The people who claim otherwise are mathematicians who forgot how reality works, as they get into an infinite spiral of higher and higher odds without any basis in reality.

    The reason why it gets to even-at-best is because the simulation needs to exist in a reality at some point, and it really, really stretches the imagination that someone could build this shit. So, then you're attaching the odds of intelligent life in a universe to the odds of then some intelligent life understanding literally every aspect of reality and being able to build said simulation (and then that repeats on every simulation).
