There's a reason he took the coward's way out. Would have been much better to have held him accountable until the day he dies.

It's just like communism in that it entirely ignores the needs and capacity of an individual and makes them slaves to the idealism of the state.

They're no better than a homeless encampment because you can't give people a house and then expect them to act like a homeowner overnight. It was the wrong problem to solve, and I think people rush to solve it out of self conscious guilt and a desire to quickly make the apparent parts of the problem disappear from common view.

It's a cruel and ridiculous strategy.

HN has had enough of those damn moochers, too:

I have found that many people who receive housing benefits are very poor stewards of their personal resources.

The first thing someone does when they get housed is to invite all their homeless friends over, to shower, to eat, to crash, to do drugs, to play games, whatever.

So your typical Section 8 housing recipient is not just a single person/family benefiting from housing, they're dragging in their entire circle of loser friends who don't have those benefits, and so now you've got a cluster of mooches who aren't invested nor responsible for disruption or damage in that community.

It's really an unfortunate thing, and I just saw it over and over again. So many people lose their benefits very quickly because they can't resist helping other folks out, but that's not what you do with welfare and entitlements.

From what I remember, EA was always popularized by rationalist culture for like two decades.

The last decade has like this for me on so many levels. It leaves me wondering how much of the old world died and how much of it we were just blind to, or chose to ignore, in the past.

I have a friend who stopped taking his medication and went full on schizophrenic, and that's how it feels when yet another person gets brain worms, except they're not suffering from mental illness, just ego, resentment and dumb ideas.

Watching them some of them become grifters who actively infect people with their own disease is a trip on top of all of that.

P(Doom) is calculated by however you were feeling that particular morning.

It's always been a way to replace all welfare programs with a check, instead of being a supplement to existing welfare programs.

The goal isn't to help people, it's to eliminate the welfare system entirely.

In lieu of Mecaid and Medicare, you better hope your $800 UBI check can cover your healthcare costs, because now you're on the hook for paying for health insurance, too. Same thing with housing assistance and SNAP.

What about an AI that can tell if that cute candidate our startup hired will sleep with me or if she'll just lie and say yes and then tell HR?

And while we're at it can we make an LLM that will force my kids to call me?
