Even right now there's people arguing for an algorithm on fediverse, but I think that drive towards mindlessly driving engagement is part of the problem. It's like reality TV -- What better way to get the Jews and Nazis to stay on the platform than to get them fighting each other all the time while everyone else gets to watch?
The Internet is a really dangerous place that big companies want to convince you is totally safe and ok. It's particularly dangerous for young people. Different parents will have different strategies for dealing with that fact, and different kids will require different levels of protection from the dangers of the Internet.
I swear, Twitter is like the one ring. Just having it starts to twist you into thinking like it does.
Haven't you heard the child's rhyme?
"Sticks and stones may break my bones but names oh my god what are you doing! Oh my god he's got a fully automatic assault name! Run! Run for your lives!"

Maybe. The establishment is so omnipresent and evil, it's tough to put anything past them.
Seems like when he took the job with the daily caller his tone immediately shifted. I don't think Jordan Peterson of 5 years ago would much care for this new Jordan Peterson much.
There needs to be a limit. Everything from the very words we use to most of the ideas came originally from a commons. If we're going to use state power to give someone a monopoly on a work derived from that commons to give them an incentive to create something, there needs to be a path to return it to the commons whence most of it came. I like the original copyright term which as I recall was 15 years with another 15 year extension if you specifically applied for it. 30 years ought to be plenty of time to figure out how to get paid for your work.
I did put my money where my mouth is, and each copy of The Graysonian Ethic releases it into the public domain 15 years after the first publication.

That's not funny! Bob from Canada is three quarters through designing a new face for all our coins!
The current brand of LGBT rights is dragging support for the concept down, ironically because they're leaving the liberal argument and going somewhere moralistic. It stopped being "leave them alone" and started being "do as we command you to do".
Imo at least.
Imo at least.
"If I am elected, I will provide every GOP member with a MyPillow so they can sleep through American's rights being taken away in comfort!"
tbf, if we want young people doing the trades, we need to make apprenticeships available and we don't.
When a single new electrical apprenticeship becomes available, hundreds of people apply for it. Entry level jobs are so valuable that they're political chips, often given to politically connected individuals instead of people who look like they'll become good tradesmen.

That's always a shame. It's always hilarious watching the US government pretend it's important that it gets funded.
Where the best model to view the world is thermodynamics, you use that, or when the best model is Newtonian physics you use that, where the best model is one where people act honourably and follow the rules you use that.
When conspiracy is the best model to view the world accurately for a particular purpose, why wouldn't you use the model that fits the data the best?
It should be obvious that I'm about decentralisation and funding of smaller media or creating media ourselves since I'm here and I've done the things I do, but the world doesn't end at the borders of my sphere of influence, it's a much bigger world out there and the Hun is at the gate, ready to chop us to bits the moment it gets a chance. (Oh, hi Bill C13, I didn't see you there. Yes, that's a really nice scimitar you have)

Well, we know there were FBI agents within twitter, so you might not be entirely wrong!
