In academia you are trained to not accept any claim without adequate evidence. Look at left wing claims vs. right wing ones and show me one that has better evidence on the right.

Yeah and Kierkegaard already solved this decades before him, in exactly the way you describe (although he didn't personally think it was possible).

Forget majors, get a PhD. You'll be even less hireable because companies won't want to pay you more.

There is a precedent and it's called the VA. The military is the largest socialist organization in the US.

Your comment inspired me to actually listen to it and there's a lot more evidence for LLM-mindbrain convergence than I thought. Still seems like we invented something too complex to characterize directly so we're interrogating it the way we do our own cognition... I wonder what kind of biases this introduces.

We have no idea how consciousness works, and also we have no idea how LLMs work. So they must be the same!

And animals and plants. The fungi and bacteria will be fine (in fact I can feel them eagerly awaiting all the corpses). I'd argue that whales care a lot, and if they knew what we were doing they'd ram a lot more cruise ships.

Right, if DSA wasn't so counterrevolutionary we'd all be storming the Capitol right now. I'm dying to see the results of "true leftism."

You're really putting DSA on there? The only organization that has done anything remotely resembling progressive in the entire capitalist cesspool? The only legitimate critique of DSA is that they're irrelevant, and this is currently being overturned. Go find some better news sources.

What I find interesting about this is that everybody knew exactly what would happen, and then it happened. It's a perfect counterexample to the logic of "this system isn't perfect, but it's the best thing we have." It's just the rich and powerful using leveraging their wealth and power to become even more so, and under the current rules nobody can stop them.

I don't actually think so. There are democratic elements but the president isn't elected by popular vote. There's universal suffrage but in practice a large percentage of the population is disenfranchised. There's no power of recall in most instances of public office. Then there are the practicalities of running for office which only allows for a small elite... at what point do you still get to call this a democracy given all of its republican and oligarchic features?
