but liberal regulation is to try to maintain capitalist markets against their own failures.

wow you discovered why governments exist! Good job, do you want a gold star sticker? If the markets and economies didn't fail, you wouldn't need government, ever, for anything. The entire point of the government is to fix problems like this.

A homeless guy can’t just immediately become a billionaire by saying that there should be a competitor of genetic testing with 23andMe.

no, but if he's a good public speaker, he might be able to get large investment rounds for a competitor to them, and then if the engineers and experts at that company, do a good job, he technically could become a billionaire, though that's unlikely from just one success.

wow look another facetious argument.

I'm not pro "oligarchy" i'm pro liberal governance, oligarchy is by definition, not liberal. It gives excised power to people with money, that is by definition not liberal.

I'm pro capitalism because i think capitalism as a decentralized method of controlling the markets and businesses (i also think that regulation is important, because i don't have brain damage like libertarians seem to, but for some reason anytime someone on the left hears that someone is a capitalist, they assume they must be anti-regulation also), is the best way to go about it. State controlled markets simply cannot work, unless someone proposes a white paper disproving me, i will maintain that point. But if you can deterministically create an economy, that supports the needs of everyone in that economy, feel free to disprove me. The problem is that you can't because it's such an incredibly complex problem.

pro market economy isn't really a bad thing? I like people being able to buy and sell things, it's good. It's problematic sometimes, and rough other times, but that's just how it is. The market will generally bring itself to a normalized position over time.

i am literally against elon musk being in the government, people in the government having and owning investments, i think it's corruption plain and simple, i'm against corruption because it obviously leads to a negative outcome for the people the system is supposed to work for, again, liberalism does not like that.

Maybe it isn’t a failure of the goal, but that willing yourself into power isn’t going to magically make it happen.

it certainly won't be the left doesn't even have a plan of what to do when they get into power, the liberals don't really either, but we at least know what we want governance to look like, and that's a great start.

The left hates the current form of US government, and the things they want that they can clearly spell out, are not forms of governance, merely policy, so i'm not sure how they plan to get from step 2, to step 5 without falling in a hole somewhere.

yeah, and it created it because we were the ones voting lmao. We voted idiots into power, they stayed in power because we liked them, and they fucked up the government irreversibly.

It's not that complicated, we did this to ourselves at the end of the day.

these are all great ideas. But it doesn't make a functional government.

I'm not sure how anybody here is expecting to implement these if they hate liberal governance (the entire structure the US is based on) if you can't even begin to theorize a functional structure of governance including those things.

i mean obviously, but unless you aren't teaching kids how to read/write in school, the amount of complete ignorance you would need to expend in your adult life to backslide so far on something so ingrained into your brain structure is genuinely impressive.

sentences in foreign languages are complete gibberish to me, unless i partly know how the grammar structure and language works, but that's also sort of automatic at that point, if i wanted to actually comprehend it, yeah i would have to put work into it, but that's literally me translating the sentence at that point lol.

no, it's just an example of something that would be considered both cruel, and unusual punishment, to provide a sufficient example.

You can't just look at something like nitrogen gassing and go "its cruel because it's killing someone, and also unusual because it isn't utilized often" It has to be literally cruel, as in, you shouldn't do it period (general US laws would forbid it kind of a thing) and unusual in the sense that you would literally never do it.

they just didn't shoot him enough

dear big tech companies, please continue doing it, i want more people to use linux.

being aloof or absent minded isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just a different type of engagement with the world, would it be nice if we didn't forget shit the second object permanence stops applying? Yeah, can we work around it, also yeah.

it's weird for me, i have ADHD traits, and also explicitly non ADHD traits, i think it's probably comorbidity with something else rather than explicitly ADHD. But that's neurology for you, sometimes it's clear, sometimes it's not, sometimes it makes no fucking sense.

I can stare at a wall just fine, but depending on what i'm doing, i need a certain minimum amount of stimulation, and just doing things feels so good.

oh its to do with dopamine, well that explains why i never got addicted to porn lmao...

For anybody wondering, my brain neurology is fucked inexplicably for some reason, i can't process emotion correctly, and i generally don't experience them either.
