the principle of indecisiveness

So let's say health care. On the complete right, the principle is the free market. On the complete left, the principle is equality. The center is pragmatism, trying to balance them out.

I am going to do a face reveal

ur hot

thank

What salary would you guys call high coming out of uni

To stand on a viewpoint where, regarding the US, gun control is needed, but not needed to such an extent where we would start restricting the use of guns completely, as well as not having willy-nilly gun-toting anyones with the power to kill, where woudl that viewpoint be?

Like starting salary

I'd say it's a moderate decision, right?

And I consider simple moderation a more central point than pushed to either side

That's why people don't like centrism

Because the statement is vague

Whenever I take a test on my political views I always end up near centrist or slightly right leaning

But yeah that would be a centrist position

yeah that's what I'm getting too @Xenoframe

I want to have a better understanding of politics so I lurk here whenever there are discussions about it going on <:PepeIntrastain:482328467829030961>

When I think of Centrism, I prefer to think of it as simple moderation, not apathy. Unfortunately, its viewed as such because many Centrists ARE apathetic to most topics.

If your views don't match the principle (in this case complete freedom vs complete "security") then you are somewhwere in the center.

I guess it depends on the topic for me

Most left leaning views I dont agree with

yeah but what does the gang weed empire have to say about it

I like pragmatism

@☦ Slouch ☦ legalize crystal weed

I hate pragmatism

ill be pragmatic to an extent

Not philosophically, but the manifestation of it.

but you gotta decide on what you will be pragmatic about

Pragmatism philosophically would by definition lead to the best results.

@Xenoframe what political test are you taking

Political compass is not a very good one if that's what you're using

I see where you're coming from with Pragmatism, fine by theory, terrible in execution, right?

But that is an empty statement. "pragmatism is the best because it's the best" is no guiding principle.

Hmm

Yes

My messages broke

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cltu49zkk3E&feature=youtu.be

is this some bs, somebody on wallstreetbets discord linked this

@Mord yes I was using compass because I was too lazy to take the 8values one

I will later tho

Its late

@Xenoframe take Politiscales.

compass is gay

^

it doesnt even measure social

8values is where I got centrist

8values listed me as an autocrat which is far from true

I was at 0.0 and 3 or something

Cant remember

In the middle and up a bit

Politiscales is pretty well rounded in the sense that it gives you a good perspective of where you're at on all aspects of politics

lt's a long test, but it is relatively thorough

lt's like 110 questions, took me about 10 minutes or so

Ok well I wanna ask some other questions

is raping a prostitute theft?

What would you guys consider a high starting salary coming out of university

@agag nope

depends where you work

>anything less than 75% nation

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] no as in no it's not bs or no as in it's not happening

200k might sound big in Sillicon Valley but it's shit

I mean just in general

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8oUqG_k1zE

no bs

@Xenoframe what state do you live in

canopy is already on nyse

Montana but I plan to move

nihilism is a self detonating axiom

<:RedPill:356316562057068545>

Hmm

A high salary in Montana l think would be anywhere north of ~$65k

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the meaning of life @Supreme Leader Kim 🧧

Dont plan on working here once I get out of uni

where are you moving to

Maybe if there is a great opportunity

I have no idea

I plan to go into computer science or engineering

Do not move to California, you will not be able to afford it unless you got a job with a massive tech company

come to hoosiereich

Or any other expensive state

I was looking at a job as a programmer for a tech company in canada

California sucks and they’re dragging their problems into Oregon

you what nigger

Probably not though

don't do it

why the fuck would you go to canada

@Ben I don't know the objective true meaning of life. Only God knows that. I have a subjective conception of the meaning of life though

are you a traitor

I am still in high school so I have a lot of things to do

Have you looked at WA? @Xenoframe

@Supreme Leader Kim 🧧 I'd like to hear your conception then

I just like having plans set

look up Palouse Washington

@Ben theosis

Washington has a lot of tech jobs

literally the point of life

@Mord I like Washington
