If they outline their methodology and outcomes, if science indicates an economic system will maximize wellbeing for the most individuals in a society, it should be our system based on the information available. And it should change if new data supercedes the old.

Capitalism has proven to be incompatible with democracy over time and detrimental to any social contract. It's a "die alone" economic system on a planet we need to care for and live together on. We ain't getting to mars, we're killing the planet the human habitability of the world we came from and this was super easy baby just don't shit where you sleep mode and we keep proving we can't even do that.

I'll never understand people that denegrate the scientific community. They and their predecessors are the reason you aren't going to be dead by 30, why we're even able to bitch on the internet right now. The scientific method and community have done more for humanity in 500 years than every theologen and diety mankind has ever been inspired to pull out of their ass.

Capitalism will end in the next 50 years, either by murder of it or the mass ecological suicide it causes. It's pathetic how many people that are willing to end the species so they can pretend they'll be rich the rich assholes living on the poors backs one day.

Who will evaluate need and merit?

Doctors and academic performance records aka grades weighed by academics, not bloodsucking capitalist leeches.

Old man yells at developed nation from his shithole.

Trumpers only see Trumpers as "good people." if they could press a button and watch everyone around them who isn't one die in agony for the schaudenfreude of it, they would.

That's why they're trying to turn empathy into a character deficit and slur.

This is what separates them from everyone else. I'm an extreme leftist, something some low information Americans incorrectly paint as just as extreme as the MAGA cult, when I want that MAGA cult to have access to Healthcare based on need, higher Ed based solely on merit, conditionless housing and social supports, while they want me dead, and preferably painfully.

I pity them because they were made by for profit media propaganda meant to divide and profit.

They're acting like Luigi broke out and started making the world a better place one capitalist at a time again.

Bullshit, billionaires are too greedy and morally bankrupt to leave exploited money on the table.

They won't close the highest producing stores and effectively kill a revenue stream out of conviction in something that isn't money, because if they had any beliefs or values above "gimme gimme gimme moar moar moar" they wouldn't be billionaires.

It's not a matter of not needing it, no shit, they have a socially encouraged mental illness.

It would be better for the new socialist stores if they did vacate the market, but they won't. They'll even pull a Walmart and try to do some loss leaders to convince idiots that der free merket menes lower prices for as long as they can stomach it until they find a vector to make the state stores illegal and Jack those prices back up forever.

I wish the office came with a mandate that they'd personally have to field constituent calls 4 hours a week.

But like so much else, they aren't going to legislate accountability for themselves.

Another daily reminder that the straights, myself included, are not Ok.

If it was an order of male monks found with 800 dead babies, "men are absolute monsters" would absolutely among the top comments.

Just the age we live in.

Completely fair.

For the record I am a socialist who thinks all billionaires and most to all centimillionaires are as mentally diseased as serial killers and far more effectively destructive to society than any serial killer that has ever walked the earth, and they all belong in mental health facilities for everyone else's safety to protect us from their sociopathic avarice disease.

ChatGPT and the others have absolutely broken people, not because it has agency, but because in our dystopia of social media and (Mis)information overload, many just need the slightest push, and LLMs are perfect for taking those close to the edge off of it.

I see LLM use as potentially as a toxic to the mind is as something like nicotine is to the body. It's not Skynet meaning to harm or help us, it's an invention that takes our written thoughts and blasts back a disturbing meta reflection/echo/output of a humanity's average response to it. We don't seem to care how that will effect us psychologically when there's profit to be made.

But there are already plenty of cases of murders and suicides with these as factors.
