@TaLoN132, you just advanced to level 19!

2020-11-26 00:48:43 UTC  

@Doc that's rational, but we've established that people aren't

2020-11-26 00:49:10 UTC  

@TaLoN132 the difference is that no respect is given to those outlets as centrist

2020-11-26 00:49:26 UTC  

I'm a computer scientist with a PhD in machine learning and causal inference

2020-11-26 00:49:35 UTC  

@TaLoN132 but the right gives respect to the leftist outlets and can't stop complaining that they are not neutral

2020-11-26 00:49:39 UTC  

belief systems devoid of emotion exist, they are just not human

2020-11-26 00:49:47 UTC  

What outlets are centrist?

2020-11-26 00:49:52 UTC  

@DrSammyD every causality ends with either a regressive argument, a dogma or a tautology. Hardly rational.

2020-11-26 00:50:07 UTC  

@nachik great!

2020-11-26 00:50:12 UTC  

there are still a few, but harder to find entire outlets, rather individual journalists

2020-11-26 00:50:19 UTC  

None of those are centrist.

2020-11-26 00:50:35 UTC  

basically anyone who you can't tell who they are voting for is a respectable journalist IMO

2020-11-26 00:51:07 UTC  

either way, it doesn't matter who is _actually_ centrist

2020-11-26 00:51:10 UTC  

PBS is a pretty good example of relatively centrist. They also give equal time.

2020-11-26 00:51:16 UTC  

what matters is the _expectation_ that an outlet is centrist

2020-11-26 00:51:28 UTC  

people don't complain all day that buzzfeed is left leaning

2020-11-26 00:51:29 UTC  

Hmm, we might be using different definitions of rationality. I'm using economists "Action toward an end"

2020-11-26 00:51:36 UTC  

people don't complain all day that vice and vox are left leaning

2020-11-26 00:51:45 UTC  

but CNN plays in every airport

2020-11-26 00:51:51 UTC  

The way they all scream at trump and tiptoe around Biden is annoying but also kind of hilarious

2020-11-26 00:51:51 UTC  

@Beth, you just advanced to level 3!

oh god how do I turn this off ^^

2020-11-26 00:52:06 UTC  

@DrSammyD indeed. But when applying that to politics, it would break down.

2020-11-26 00:52:27 UTC  

centrism today is a fallacy, there are conflicting underlying models that cannot be compared like for like

2020-11-26 00:52:38 UTC  

Not if you understand the ends people are actually achieving with politics.

2020-11-26 00:52:39 UTC  

Human brains are too complicated for you to have an overview over even your own "end". Its why its called subconscious.

i see pelosi as your president, as no ruling will be made in time

2020-11-26 00:53:09 UTC  

e.g. rational irrationality.

2020-11-26 00:53:10 UTC  

@DrSammyD I would argue they dont know that themselves.

2020-11-26 00:53:13 UTC  

Oh good god

2020-11-26 00:53:32 UTC  

@CriMiN4L I have a case of wine riding on that as well.

2020-11-26 00:53:35 UTC  

Just playing devils advocate

2020-11-26 00:53:36 UTC  

That would be awful @CriMiN4L

2020-11-26 00:53:36 UTC  

its my guess

2020-11-26 00:55:00 UTC  

they need to make a movie on this when its all said and done and the title will be "the big steal"

found the mute I've never joined an active chat thing I despise social media stuff ^^

2020-11-26 00:55:34 UTC  

yeh gotta mute or its annoying

popups and the sound ^^

2020-11-26 00:56:09 UTC  

Someone needs to ask Robert why his ring keeps changing fingers
