al-Ma'arri, Arab philosopher and poet (973–1057)
  • One thing that this poem gets wrong is the bees. Bee colonies go somewhere else when they don't like their current situation. The principle is true, but bees specifically let beekeepers take their honey because it benefits both parties.

  • I'd strongly disagree there too. Y'know basically the entire internet runs on Linux right? Our global communication system containing the sum of all human knowledge is like 99% Linux servers. And the reason a whole bunch of companies sponsor the hell out of Linux now is because it's just that good and just that important on a global scale.

  • Sexual Frustration Theory would be a better explanation if NoFap Army members stated that their lack of preferred sexual outlet was the cause of their violent impulses, and they target those whom they feel were responsible for their sexual deprivation.

    Seems like this article could use the perspective of Elliot Roger who literally admitted to this

  • "As always, pedophilia is not the same as ephebophilia." - Eliezer Yudkowsky, actual quote
  • "As always, pedophilia is not the same as ephebophilia."

    That's correct, but as we all know, people don't say things that are true just because they are true. Otherwise we would be walking around quoting Wikipedia at random for most of the day.

    We actually say things because we want to do something.

    Edit: Ok now I actually read what he wrote and it makes no sense

  • which ones do you think I missed?
  • Idk man we just saw a week ago how atrociously Linus used to treat people. Imagine combining that with enough greed to hold onto a billion dollars. Imagine what any of these people would be like if they were the type to ruthlessly exploit others to get rich. I think a billionaire Linus would be worse than Bill Gates. At least Gates is a nice guy.

    It is the act of holding onto that much wealth that is immoral, not who is doing it. This is just fantasizing from a painfully neoliberal perspective: OP is imagining the world would be better if the good guys hoarded inconceivable amounts of wealth and exploited the labor of others.
