The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/10/2025Oh really, what will cause energy prices to rise? Because I think whatever you say about them, the greens plan to build a hell of a lot of renewables 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 16/10/2025On one hand I respect the Times posting on BS, a platform almost completely antithetical to them. On the other hand, covering a complicated and nuances case like this and summing it up with one headline which is basically "Labour bad", I mean, god loves a tryer 010
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 16/10/2025If a character says "god" or "Jesus", or even "geez" does that count too? You fool Rob, you've engaged the comic book nerds as well as the etymology nerds 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 16/10/2025In MCU Eternals they ask a character if he's Superman. But then again no one saw that film so does it count? 130
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Surprised no one is mentioning Roko's Basilisk in the comments 100

The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/08/2025Some good wording by Times "radicals" suggests a lot 100

The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 21/07/2025For all I, and most blueskyers, know, this quote *did* appear in the water report, and this taking down of Preston is just another false flag. 130
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 20/07/2025The actor? Then who's vice-president, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady! 380
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 17/07/2025I think you are misunderstanding the headline 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 17/07/2025Can't wait for the nuanced comments on blue sky 110
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 16/07/2025I mean, the amount of click bait articles on that page is astronomical - using ai to kill click bait is fine with me 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 30/06/2025An issue that might not have been brought up is that those people were able to do those things first, great , but it's not like we wouldn't ever have online shopping if Bezos didn't do it, so because he was ~6 months before anyone else he should have more money than God 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Would you be happy to move to a google doc to go through these? Answering q in <300 characters is hard and loses a lot of nuance 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Governments SHOULD fund it but often don't. The aid isn't hypothetical, see pic. The beneficiaries are hypothetical until they aren't - see pandemic preparedness 100
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 20/06/2025I think thats the same as lots of philosophies? You wouldn't say going to college is about creating as much debt as possible, it's about investing in yourself. When you say distant future when do you think EAs mean, and then find proof that an EA has done this 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/06/2025But neither of those are about accumulating wealth. Earning to give is about earning lots, and donating lots, every month. Longtermism is about making sure long term threats are dealt with asap, when it's cheaper to do so, e.g. asteroid detection. The GWWC pledge is giving 10% of your salary/month 110
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/06/2025Ah fair point about the bases ,yeah. I mean, Hamas are pretty defacto the Palestinian military , as well as the Palestinian National Security Forces, and Security Services 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/06/2025You might be interested in this about Systemic Change 80000hours.org/2020/08/misc... 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/06/2025I think you're referring to Earning to Give,which has been a fringe thing generally - 80000hours.org/2020/08/misc... And ignores the huge amount of people who donate their money directly to e.g. malaria nets80000hours.orgMisconceptions about effective altruismThe core idea of effective altruism is not about any specific way of doing good. Rather, it’s about the idea that some ways of contributing to the common good are far more effective than what’s typica... 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/06/2025To be fair, making people dumber has a less clear link to "everyone dies immediately to be turned into paperclips" when it comes to how ai could kill everyone. You could say "nuclear power is bad because a bird could hit the cooling tower" - it's true but not on the same scale of danger 000
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 19/06/2025I think that's a stretch to compare political pragmatism with your impression of EA, which encourages people to give 10% of their income every month to charities dealing with malaria, which kills more children every day than anything else. Maybe I'm missing your point? 100
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 18/06/2025"hello 911 there are some people with masks claiming to be police officers and they are armed and taking people into vehicles; car number plate is this" 220920
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Misread your comment, I don't have much to disagree with "Where is Russia & China now for Iran, or Syria before?" Though there might be something to find out online 010
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 17/06/2025I feel like west supporting Ukraine is more like Democracies standing against Authoritarian, rather than standing together - like in the cold war America supported Afghanistan against USSR. but I'm not a big history gal 110
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 17/06/2025Nah it's a good side track. Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, and Imperial Japan (maybe Fascist Spain?) did an alliance in/after WWII China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are seen to be strengthening ties - NK sent soldiers to Russia and I think I've seen china is sending supplies. 1/2 110
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 17/06/2025I agree with this comment, but it feels like it doesn't quite answer my issue, but it's a subtle difference that I can't tease out. Anyway, thanks 010
The Nick Lowry 🔎🔶 @nicklowry.bsky.social · 17/06/2025I don't understand how staying under an air attack disproves that it's a stale mate because west democracies are good are war? 010
