I'm not hating on anyone other than the Reds ownership and their decision making process, which is almost never win-oriented and almost always "do I already know this person?" Bonus points if they're from Ohio. But hey, if Leichman is the best option one can find, awesome.

Would be surprised if he wasn't the choice considering the #1 consideration for a job for the Reds is if you've been affiliated with the Reds in the past. The incestuous nature of the Reds makes the Habsburgs look like a multi-cultural rainbow

An executive branch with the ability to capriciously de-naturalize "enemies" is literally the forward to every libertarian's now prescient worst case senario book.

I don't even get the criticism? Everything happening over the past two years is literally a doomsday nightmare scenario for traditional "libertarians" vs. whatever the hell Austin Petersen became.

Excellent PR work here on a massive OPSEC failure. Spinning the fact that you hired, cleared, and employed someone (none of your systems caught this) who then did this (which you only caught ex post facto), but in reality this is a win!

Everyone just assumes that the entirety of Africa is just Boko Haram militias? Even if it were, the European militaries aren't prepared to engage a force of 100 Hilux's.

Which is to say, under this framework, it seems pretty obvious to me that animals are conscious (dogs, elephants, fish, pigs, etc...), and it's not entirely clear to me if this is an appropriate discussion to even be having about LLMs?

I feel ike a lot of these AI consciousness debates are ones that folks debating the ethics of veganism have been having for awhile. As I understand it, something being able to "suffer" is a critical component of consciousness. So recent dicussions I've seen are if oysters "count".

Agreed entirely, and I think it's probably why I think Philosophy gets there because history is a necessary component.

Some of the most successful people I know in multiple industries were either Philosophy majors or did extensive study in Philosophy. I often think History/Philosophy double major might be the sweet spot: The ability to digest massive amounts of information coupled with analytic questioning.

1. There's a reason why James Garfield is the only President in US history to be elected directly from the House. 2. There's a reason every Congressman/woman who wants to be President runs for either the Senate or Governor. AOC will not be a special case. Go run for Senate.

To some extent. Honestly, I thought they captured the relative chaos of campaigns pretty well. I thought Santos' early forays into the primary, fighting conventional wisdom as an outsider, speaking to rooms of 4 people, etc... to be exceptional.

I think the West Wing is probably the best "great show that declined, but finished near the peak of its early greatness."

Interviews with El-Sayed should be nightmares for the interviewer because he should spend 100% of his time charmingly parlaying every single question into his message "What do you think about what Hasan Piker said last night" "I don't know what he said, but what I do know is *insert stump speech*"

This was a success bc of his 2 allotted minutes to an uninteresting question irrelevant to 100% or voters, he spent 8 seconds on the distraction, and 1:52 on his message that's meant to reach and impact 100% of voters. You want to be right, I want to win. You win by relentlessly being on message.

No. It doesn't matter who invented some feel good quote and whether or not he attributed it correctly or incorrectly. Literally 3 people give a shit and we're apparently talking to one of them. What matters is staying on message. Full stop. End of discussion.

The real reason it's a good answer isn't because of the call out of MLK. Fox viewers will hate that. It's him giving an answer and then immediately getting back on message. You don't want to talk about whatever the hell this interviewer wants to talk about, you want to preach your message.

Did you listen to the Daily this morning? I'm curious to hear your take on their assessment that moderate candidates are performing really well, and more liberal candidates are set to under perform

Yep, but the good news (sarcastically) is my own insurance company said I can file a claim under my policy and they would seek payment back from State Farm.....but they would still increase my rate for doing so. In the words of Yakov Smirnoff: What a country!
