What was that about?

I'm well aware of the current limitations of our understanding of the brain, and I don't see how I've overestimated nor how the same argument shouldn't apply to the current treatments for transgenderism.

I agree that our current methods are basic, which is why I think that allowing people to mutilate themselves to masquerade as the opposite sex is a blunt way to try and treat the problem. I think that I'm the future we will look back and acknowledge how crude our current methods are, and hopefully have a better way to treat it.

I feel for them, but I won't ever buy into the idea that drugs and surgery can turn you into the opposite sex. The only thing it can do is turn you into a rudimentary approximation. Believing you are something you are not is a delusion, and hopefully one day we can treat the underlying mechanism that causes it.

I'm anti-abortion in most cases, though I do see room for exceptions. I'm for a small government, though living in Australia I have seen that there is a place for the government to provide certain services that tend towards monopolies or that are vital to national security, like utilities, defense, etc. I don't agree with how we currently approach transgenderism: I believe it's a mental illness with devastating effects on its sufferers and that surgery and drugs are a blunt way to try and deal with it. I'm anti-immigration on a mass-scale, and I think allowing manufacturing to be decimated by globalism was a big mistake that we shouldn't have allowed.

That's just a few off the top of my head.

Not emitting is not that easy. We are in a transition period at the moment. Electric vehicles are here but we don't have all the infrastructure needed to support them. Let alone the fact that battery tech is not developing as fast as we need it to.

Right now liquid fuels still have the advantage of greater energy density. If we could move to hydrogen fuels that would be cool, and we could repurpose existing petroleum facilities.

But who knows which way the tech is going to go. The only sure thing is that we are in for a wild ride one way or the other.

The name for a system where you get people to buy valueless assets and drive up their price so you can sell yours and leave others holding the bag is: "Ponzi scheme."

No, that's a Greater Fool scheme. A Ponzi is more centralized and the people who get paid out are not supposed to be aware that the money is coming from new investors. Ponzi schemes hide that aspect of it. In a Greater Fool you are betting on someone being dumber than yourself enough to buy your worthless investment at a higher price.

A lot of crypto is Greater Fool, but there have been crypto Ponzi schemes.

As a side note, there is a cultural tendency to call all scams Ponzis when they are not. It is a specific type of scam.

I think most users on here lean left one way or another.

I'm a conservative and that's not popular here at all.

Don't forget a complete failure to ever monetize the site correctly. They've never made a profit lol.

Yeh that's what they were trying to say, their punctuation was atrocious though.

Power mods... Except they are already here and banning opinions they don't like. Good thing it's super easy to make a new account on here.

Oh God I forgot about that lmao, what a fucking idiot. I wonder how many of his fellow Proud Boys tried it out too 🤣
