dekken_··on Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani's policies as 'normal'
I realize this is difficult for you, but if you read my first response to you, it was talking about Europeans (which I am), and what they identify with, we as Europeans, have little say in how we are taxed.

If you have no say in how much you are taxed, that is taxation without representation.

Seems you completely missed the point.

You may want to review what caused the American revolution.

> That’s an idea Europeans can identify with.

To a point, when we stop seeing a social benefit from our taxes, it starts to look more like theft.

Rendering it somewhat redundant...

Edit: this comment was made before the person I was responding to edited their post to include the second line.

dekken_··on Over $70T of inherited wealth over next decade will widen inequality, economists
Money only works when there is a base level of trust that later, money accepted will have some similar utility.

You're positive there are zero democrats with no financial stake in defense contractors?

To me it seems an issue of individuals, rather than "parties".

And yet unpaid internships are still a thing as the point is education, not direct financial compensation.

uhuh, well I'm sure you know how to use a search engine
dekken_··on Carlo Rovelli’s radical perspective on reality
Take your pick

Schrodinger/Dirac/Feynman.

A wave is a product, trigonometric functions do not exist.

Gerard hooft was on Curt Jaimungal's youtube channel a while back, I generally agree with him, discrete systems cannot be explained by real numbers, only integers

dekken_··on Carlo Rovelli’s radical perspective on reality
QM is many things

You might want to be a little more specific, and rely less on approximations.

I am aware of what the Copenhagen interpretation states, thanks

> is just too low of a fidelity for such a complicated system?

I think you're asking questions that some are afraid to ask.

It appears to me that some people have become accustomed to working with approximations, and have accepted the map for the terrain.

Fundamentally, I don't see how you can use continuous math to explain a discrete system.

It already cost money paying for the time and resources to be misappropriated.

There needs to be resignations, or jail time.

> But I still am down with paying a little more

Then do that, no one is stopping you, I didn't vote for it, and I don't support it. It's blatant discrimination.

It's either people don't understand perverse incentives, or, they want to gain from them and just keep quiet about it, I'm not sure we'll ever know.

it is theft, the government should not be involved in charity. taxes, are a burden, and should be minimal, and if individuals want to be charitable with there own money after taxation, great, that's their choice

> identify yourself to the government

"The government" is not an abstraction, it's bunch of people, fallible people, who may or may not have your best interests at heart, so really, why should they have much to do with the every day existence of the public?

> you will gradually lose control of your government

Already happened. That this keeps getting put forward is the evidence. Representative democracy, is not a democracy at all.

Sic semper tyrannis.

Absolutely, evidence of abuse is secondary to the actual abuse.

Plus, the fact you could use/make AI/LLM/etc generate nefarious content that is hard to tell is fake, tells you the abuse isn't even what they are interested in.

Some software maybe, like aerospace, but I have the option of not going to a doctor and trying to make myself healthier, so I should be able to write software also, and if anyone else wants to use it, that's their choice,

It's performative, distractionary grand standing. Dealing with the symptoms, not the causes.
