Acting officials have the mission to work for public good. Not for private interests. The public good should always prevale over private interest.

@Tomer , your thought experiment contradicted your initial claim that

"You can only chose Monarchy or Democracy irationallly" - since your thought experiment appealed to reason within rational boundaries

And rationally simulated realities. So my thesis is: "You can choose Monarchy and Democracy rationally, too." And there is a 3rd way also: you can choose them a-rationally. Meaning by throwing a dice.

Take a second to hit that like button on the YouTube stream guys 🙂 @everyone

@Malachi the hypothetical was

Rationality doesn't always follow utility

agreed @Yussuki ₪

Reason in itself is irrational. But very useful most of the time.

It is irrational because in order to explain it's own existence and operations, it must postulate irrational claims and arises from emotions. The first irrational claim is "I exist" because you cannot demonstrate it causally in a liniar manner like reason works

"Learn to be indifferent to what makes no difference." - Marcus Aurelius

I understand that mr Aurelius was quite indifferent, since he was a General and very few things really made a difference for him😄

@m.miller you killed it today!

On the server i moderate we have 30+ people every day on voice and 10k members. From experience, I learned that a more structured format brings out more relevant information. Every1 has 1 minute to present his concise point. Than there is open discussion on the topic.

Does this discord channel lean more conservative/ religious / etc.?

what's great about it is I have never perceived a leaning, people have been all over the place

we tend to be skeptical

Like general philosophical skepticism?

We all engage each other’s views is how I see it. Perhaps we’re all skeptical of each other

I’ve been impressed with the diversity for sure to add to Mack’s point

I tend not to be skeptical from the beginning cause it hinders conversation and meaningful information is lost if you are skeptical i think

1.2 million - The worldwide Jewish population (comprising the Middle East and the rest of Europe) was estimated at 1.2 million.

Too much fuss for 1.2 milion ppl

I find that I’m not allowed to be skeptical of the skeptics.

That they aren’t so skeptical of their own skepticism; that maybe there is one truth, one way, and that it can be sensed (even if not perfectly embodied)

What happens in the US if police catches you with 1.5 grams ?

Of weed?

Yes

Well, marijuana is illegal in some states and legal in others.

If you have 1.5 grams of weed in California, your fine.

But if you have 1.5 grams of weed in Alabama you'll get arrested.

Here it doesn't matter so much, you have to go rehabilittion for a month 4 sessions and listen for 30 minutes what the psychologist says

Omg... going to prison for that is really bad. too hursh on ppl
