John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Oh, that's the game you're going to play? You can judge a single person you are talking with, but judging a whole group of people as irrational for disagreeing with you? That's not the judgement you can make. 100
John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 05/06/2026You are making a decision. You are making a judgment. Your judgment is that a lot of people are irrationaly antiAI. I think that judgment is wrong. 100

John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 23/05/2026The main point is: At some point, a multi-billionaire could pay 95% of their workers three times more which will help them a lot and still be a billionaire. He won't do that because of ideological anti-democracy reasons. "I know better than tens of thousands of my workers/fellow citizens". 050
John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 23/05/2026On the other side, the way ultra-rich makes money is by subverting democracy and buying politicians. What does a 10.000 or 100.000 new trees mean if you helped elect a politician who is going to (metaphoricaly) cut a million trees a year by pushing pollution agenda? 130
John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Here is a guy, making billions by underpaying workers or scamming. If we lived in a just society, he would be taxed out of existence and not be a billionaire. He gets to choose how he donates, between planting 10.000 trees in USA and 100.000 trees in India. How to calculate what's better? 140
John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 23/05/2026You have just accidentally hit the nail on the head of why does the latest mega-billionaire ideology of "effective altruism" doesn't work in practice. Billionaire philantropy as a whole has been whitewashing their cruelty. "I'll give to the poor as long as you don't look how I make money" 281

John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 30/04/2026You can't really get the same effect in English.

John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 30/04/2026"Are you still paying attention? Well, you should be paying attention!"- Tolstoy, presumably. Even funnier because Volkonsky and Bolkonsky are written Волконски and Болконски in Russian, so it is even more similar, like a single line difference in the name, like between O (letter o) and 0 (zero). 120
John_McDosh @johnmcdosh.bsky.social · 27/04/2026Well of course I would. But there are still some selfish a-holes who wouldn't. The correct analogy is: You press the blue button and you save everyone, even those who would shoot you dead to save their own skin by pressing the red button. Some people are collaborators of autocratic regimes. 000
