jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 12/11/2025nicotine is apparently a nootropic and possibly good for the brain as smoking and lung cancer rates have gone down but parkinson's rates up (nicotine is speculated to possibly be beneficial for parkinson's as it boosts dopamine while parkinson's people have less dopamine) 000 0

jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 02/10/2025so essentially you think wiki is now more or less obsolete due to LLMs existing (and you can check primary sources with them just like with wiki)?

jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 05/04/2025I suspect this answer may be less surprising as the AI's trained on the data of people who'd have this opinion or viewpoint; other AI seem to give some slightly different answers (for example, "increasing the welfare state"), although there's overlap (also probably trained on a lot of the same data) 000 0
jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 05/04/2025I guess the question is why these kinds of jobs are thought to be tied to manufacturing?

jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Income tax was created because the government grew too big, the tariffs were sufficient for covering a smaller government's needs. The tax was also supposed to be temporary but only expanded unnecessarily. Federal Reserve's bad policies have been credited as causing the Great Depression. 000 0

jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 03/04/2025right, that's fine as a critique... I was just wondering about what those "real numbers" are in comparison. They could be, for example, actually higher than the numbers Trump gives. Some of the individual tariff rates are (but not averages I don't think?). thanks for discussing things 210 0
jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 03/04/2025Ok so is the allegation that the average of these is much less than the figures Trump is presenting? 100 0
jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 03/04/2025I understand that, I am asking for what the rate of tariff is on goods from various countries to the USA;it seems posters here do not think there are any tariffs at all (?).

jammyfish.bsky.social @jammyfish.bsky.social · 03/04/2025if these numbers are thought to be incorrect, does anyone have a link to the estimated correct numbers?
