Yeah, I’m not gonna get baited into getting rate-limited by downvotes that easily. All you need to know, if you care to, is that my values and goals differ drastically from most other people here.
EDIT: A mod rate-limited me anyway, perfectly illustrating the stark value difference: I consider that kind of abuse of power an atrocity.
a day later, I can post again: we were both rate limited from this conversation, me presumably because I got annoyed and antagonized you. sorry about that—I was jumping to conclusions, and should have had more uncertainty about what your reasoning was, rather than assuming it’s because you think the things I want in my life should not be in my life. I’ve undone my downvotes of you.
I suspect our values do not differ very much in any deep way, and that the shallow way they differ is a short term difference in what we think is higher priority, rather than anything about what outcome we want. It’s of course possible I’m wrong about this; but, if you read my user profile and pinned comments, it will likely give insight about this, and you can then comment where you disagree about facts or have different preferences. I intend to not downvote you for honest and emotionless description of how our intentions differ.
I generally consider the existence of people having authority over other people a significant negative externality that would ideally be replaced with people knowing how to do peer to peer co-protection. I don’t think that can be done successfully until we get the math right, and until then I am simply focused on understanding the math of distributed systems.
then I don’t know what this thing is that artists have been saying is bad, and I don’t know how you disagree with me about the future. have a good one
