I've never watched the Superbowl and don't intend to but heard all about it because my wife likes Taylor Swifts relationship with her Chad bf
For all of the talk of the evils of the justice system, the United States itself has a very good example of a community that is underserved by the justice system: neighborhoods run by gangs.
Just as you predict, such places are absurdly violent because if you do something to one of mine, then I have to do something to one of yours, and then in retaliation for that you have to do something to one of mine again. You end up with a cycle of violence that leads to the highest murder rates in the civilized world. For all the talk of how dangerous cops are, deaths at the hands of cops who are there to enforce the law are statistical impossibility compared to deaths at the hands of gang members who came to kill your family in retribution for some slight.
Moreover, the common-law system is far fairer than anything you would get out of mob Justice. The common law system by definition means that two people in the same circumstance and entitled to the same treatment. Mob Justice is going to end up more or less arbitrary. As well, a codified set of laws means that people know what to do and what not to do, whereas under mob Justice you never know what's going to make someone angry. We've seen this with the mob justice of the last decade where behavior that was considered acceptable at the time is later retroactively deemed unacceptable and the mob comes for them.
Absolutely there needs to be a balance between the individual, the community, and the state, and I think that it is safe to say that the state is that a point where there is way too much power concentrated there, but there are definitely benefits to having a state and once you remove it you absolutely will never remove violence and coercion, you will just change the manifestation of that violence and coercion and in some ways it definitely won't be for the better.

My favorite is when not only does it admit that you were right, it also explains exactly why you are right, and then presents the exact same piece of code again XD
AI has a problem equivalent to the halting problem when it comes to trying to code something. If it makes a mistake, often you will tell it that made mistake and it will just present the exact same answer, or a different answer and then that one won't work and then it will show you the previous answer again.
I used it to help me with some modifications to some rust code, it was totally wrong and couldn't be convinced otherwise.

10 million people in the year 25 is I think more people than existed on Earth at that point.
I made a post about the Chinese emperor in 25ad yesterday, a guy named wang mang. The way he got into power almost exclusively by virtue signaling, and once in power implemented a bunch of purely ideological policies based on a popular but half-baked political theory killing 10 million people I think has direct relevance to today.
Honestly I think you want voters removing either Trump or Biden rather than bureaucrats. The Republic will end once such a veto becomes common.
It's sad, Canada had decent governments after Trudeau #1 but things declined quickly in 2015. :(
Nobody has better citations than chatgpt.
They're unreal, always the perfect citations for whatever argument you're making.
Unreal being an operative word but some Prof might not even care that Virginia v. Kahn saying that the 19th amendment is abolished for federal elections doesn't exist

You're speaking my language here. And everyone who actually knew anything about economics and the like said this was going to happen, and the lockdownists refused to even hear it. "There will be no consequences we're saving the world" "wtf consequences must be someone else's fault!"
If there's one worldview I think has been conclusively disproven, it's the materialist worldview. Often what people need most isn't just more material goods.

This is a story that I think resonates with today. Wang Mang gains overwhelming power by virtue signaling Confucianism, and then spends his reign as emperor destroying the country trying to implement his half baked ideology. His bad economic policies and insane farming policies ultimately led to 10 million deaths and when the remaining Han dynasty led an uprising, the people of the capital happily helped oust the ideologue.

I saw a video on YouTube "brown noise 12 hours" and I'm like "jeez why would you want to need to crap that long?!"
"In science, Brownian noise, also known as Brown noise or red noise, is the type of signal noise produced by Brownian motion, hence its alternative name of random walk noise. The term "Brown noise" does not come from the color, but after Robert Brown, who documented the erratic motion for multiple types of inanimate particles in water. The term "red noise" comes from the "white noise"/"white light" analogy; red noise is strong in longer wavelengths, similar to the red end of the visible spectrum."
Ngl, I thought brown noise was a military weapon that makes you crap your pants.

A exists because B created it.
C exists whether B creates it or not
A looks a bit like C
therefore A is C
Therefore B did not create A
No.
