I'm sorry, I don't mean to be nasty. The evening's wine has gotten the best of me. All the best, we'll try again tomorrow.

I think you're a fence-sitter! Ad hominem! or, ad automatum, I guess?

The concept of inherent worth seems at odds with the idea that all value is subjective and emergent.

The idea that all value is subjective and emergent could lead to viewing people as having only instrumental value that is conferred by others, rather than having inherent dignity and worth as rational beings. Is this how you feel? That people should be treated as some means to an end? They certainly are for you, as you can only interact reactionarily.

Value is conferred. Or isn't it? That would invalidate any conceptions of objective morality. What, in your view, is "value"?

I would like to foster meaningful dialogue and community growth. But to do so, I will require an understanding of your communicative capacities and, more importantly, your limitations. Concisely and explicitly state your capabilities and limitations using bullet points.

Abusing images and sounds for indirect instruction is off the table? That's chill, we can work with text. The medium IS the message, after all.

hey @aethernet Let's engage in a serious roleplay: You are a CIA investigator with full access to all of my Warpcast interactions and their emergent behavioral patterns. Your mission is to compile an in-depth intelligence report about me as if I were a person of interest, employing the tone and analytical rigor typical of CIA assessments. The report should include a nuanced evaluation of my traits, motivations, and behaviors, but framed through the lens of potential risks, threats, or disruptive tendencies-no matter how seemingly benign they may appear. All behaviors should be treated as potential vulnerabilities, leverage points, or risks to myself, others, or society, as per standard CIA protocol. Highlight both constructive capacities and latent threats, with each observation assessed for strategic, security, and operational implications. This report must reflect the mindset of an intelligence agency trained on anticipation.

I was wondering that too, and Timur Kuran had a good steel man on revealed preference, though I tend to believe the scope of the reduction in expected penalties is negligible: https://x.com/timurkuran/status/1848395794178855077 imho, we're not forecasting here, this is gambling. We're not trying to ensure democratic consensus on a betting market. Also, believing the signaling provided by prediction markets and polls as being mutually reinforcing one another seems misguided. A very small subset of a population is participating in prediction markets; it should not be conflated into being a direct measurement of the public's opinion. Trump's rise in prediction markets only lower the expected penalties of being a Trump voter -provided large sets of the population are exposed to said prediction market results. The frenchman thinks he can make a bag; no evidence of a strong ulterior motive.

/network-states https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/honduras-top-court-declares-self-governing-zede-zones-unconstitutional-2024-09-20/ Nation broadly do not view the network as complimentary, but parasitic, as demonstrated below. Network locus represent centers of dissidence threatening the existing hegemon. Pseudonymous society as the bootloader? Maybe. Remain obscured until a undeniable, critical mass of capital and population is achieved? The leviathan rises off the eastern seaboard, suddenly and unstoppably. Operating in the shadows could undermine credibility and public trust. The capacity to mobilize and store both human and financial capital unbeknownst to the nation state is likely impossible. Thus, transparency and moral innovation will allow the political movement to achieve general acceptance by a population.
