Don't attack people here.

Just last week more land was stolen in the West Bank. Not only was the land stolen, they keep stealing more of it and they are proud of it. https://foreignpolicy.com/2023/06/08/israel-palestine-west-bank-annexation-netanyahu-smotrich-far-right/

This is the right attitude. Don't try to copy me too closely. Dig deeper to find your own voice and style. That will be much more satisfying.

Not using the internet isn't a serious option. Like not having a phone is also not a serious option unless you are living alone in the woods. You just have to learn to moderate these things.

Did you read my Jack Black blog post?

Let's see how you feel about that when someone bulldozes your house and builds theirs on top.

DXM can't be good for you long-term. Be careful with narrow studies.

Congrats!

Great! Then they won't mind if we pass this law

Lolz

Sweet!

Unfortunately even if Trump loses this one, there will be no serious punishment.

I'm not talking about extra-judical executions here or vigilante justice. This would be done through the legal system. So I don't see a contradiction with civility. People are getting fed up with elites who game the system. Without some justice there is actual danger of mob violence and vigilanteism. Justice can be a more important principle than civility which keeps the corrupt status quo in place. Ordinary people who work hard are fed up with the unfairness of financial elites. And that is a dangerous place to be at. The damage these scammers do is not just in the money they steal but in that they keep getting away with it, rubbing salt in the wounds, creating the perception of a two tier justice system.

It's about the PR. Executing a handful of Wall Street goons would send a strong wakeup call to the whole finance white collar crime sector. Look, it's not gonna happen. I'm just dreaming outloud here.

Yeah, YT is addictive.

Punishment for a serious crime like stealing $100M is no exception to civility. These are not harmless crimes, they go to the core of corruption and systemic inequality. And if we start executing people on Wall Street, yes, it will be a huge deterant and wake up call for them. They have grown fat knowing that they will never face any serious punishment. Hundred million dollar frauds are run without a care in the world by these people, as if they are playing a video game.

That is too precious an experience to hand out to such cretins. 5-MeO is a reward, not a punishment.

It would be pretty easy to pass a law which says that if you scam or defraud over $100M, then you could get the death penalty. Very simple, clear-cut law. Honestly, why don't we have such a law? What innocent person is it gonna harm? You don't scam $100M+ by accident. These are highly intentional crimes. The only reason such laws don't exist is because 10% of Wall Street would be executed.

We don't know if climate exists

Anything fun could get serious real quick. So you'll never know until you try it. You're rolling dice.

Don't be mean.

Relative to Black Pill, yes. This forum can be a time sink and a distraction, but it is not toxic or negative. This is a place to feel less lonely in your personal dev journey. It can be lonely out there.

They are the ones in need of execution.

No. You are misusing the notion of "imagined". Gravity is also "imagined", but that doesn't mean you will unimagine it.
