Because when provided with positive evidence of obvious bias, you demanded proof of a negative which is ranges from prohibitively difficult to impossible. This is not a valid form of reasoning. The inability to disprove something is not a valid reason to believe in it.
Let me put it another way, I don’t converse with paedophiles so I’m going to need proof that you’ve never diddled kids before we can continue.
That would be good but that’s not going to solve this. There is rot at the core of American culture and Trump is the inevitable culmination of it. There’s no single rule that can be changed to fix this.
When someone bangs a member of the blue man group do you think they’re disappointed when his jizz isn’t blue?

Say hi to Dr Mike for me.
Gotham chess has a video of making chatgpt play chess against stockfish. Spoiler: chatgpt does not do well. It plays okay for a few moves but then the moment it gets in trouble it straight up cheats. Telling it to follow the rules of chess doesn’t help.
This sort of gets to the heart of LLM-based “AI”. That one example to me really shows that there’s no actual reasoning happening inside. It’s producing answers that statistically look like answers that might be given based on that input.
For some things it even works. But calling this intelligence is dubious at best.
No because statistically most of those roles will be played by Gary Oldman.

Also I knew I could never be an actor when I tried to do the line “you gotta leave. Now.” in the same intonation as Chris Lloyd but couldn’t.

Congrats guys you found a way to make a dating app with an even more skewed sex ratio.
The theoretical argument is that any justice system no matter how well thought out and well intentioned, will eventually result in edge cases where justice fails to be done. Especially when implemented on a large scale. There are already appeals, and those can fail too. Plenty of examples of people actually being railroaded.
You can just accept that , or you turn to democracy to try alleviate the most egregious cases. Thats what the pardon is for - no process, no more appeals. Just the president, the people’s highest representative, and a pen.
It sometimes works (as in, is probably a net benefit) when the person wielding this power fears the people and will pay (at least) a political price for misusing it. Pardoning someone he knows is a complete of the power. Enriching himself by essentially selling pardons throws the whole thing into the world of comedy. Any talk of the theoretical merits of it is laughable.
You can argue that this was inevitable. Maybe you’re right. But that was the intent, and it’s failure is another symptom of the American democracy degenerating towards failure. Trump won’t pay a price for this. Even on conservative forums where they hangwring about “not getting why he’s doing this” (as they stare straight at the naked corruption), none of them will change their votes. Nobody is interested in holding him accountable.
This democratic failure has widespread consequences. The open corruption of the pardons process is actually one of the smaller symptoms of it.
There are not files. There are only vibes. If your surf the vibe ocean well enough, you will find what you were looking for.
The truth of determinism is relevant to the most popular conception of free will. That’s why this comes up repeatedly. People seem to want themselves to be free from causality itself, because being bound by it makes you not “free”, and just going through the motions.
The problem here is the definition of free will itself . Rather than demanding from the universe that your mind be inexplicably free form causality, why not just accept a more useful definition of free will? Such as the ability to make decisions without undue coercion. Vague as that is, it’s at least a workable definition.
Yeah but this is why we don’t ask freaky-ass topologists to define humans.
Aren’t you a pedophile or am I thinking of someone else?
It makes it easy to do the math in your head without a calculator. But still , just tossing out pi=5 is not the way to go about creating these problems.
Idk I think that only works against worms. Dr Mike here looks like he swallowed a python whole.
This is absolutely true because Trump is fundamentally not a fluke, but rather the inevitable culmination of festering rot at the core of American culture. If not him, it would have been someone.
