one is not more true than the other because both are just philosophical ideas.

I think I disagree. One is a basically untestable hypothesis, the other is pretty much the closest we can come to objective truth.

That would be included prominently in the “sweeping socialist reform”. Absolutely a high priority, but negligible odds of success under the current composition.

Priority one is achieving a Congress that will pass RCV.

They still do good things sometimes, they generally do fewer and less bad things. Definitely need to be entirely reformed, but practically that’s a future us problem.

Priority one is dismantling the other party. Blue collar Americans love socialism when you don’t call it that. Start a “right wing” party that’s just leftism wrapped up in Jesus and 'Murica. Split the right, let the neo-libs stabilize things for a couple cycles while the 'Murica party siphons the working class from Republicans. Then, after the Republican party is dead, hard shift on the left from Democrat to 'Murica, massive mandate, start passing sweeping socialist reform.

I think the main point is “the desire and the power”. There are a few with desire, but without numbers they don’t have the power. The more people with desire we can get into seats, the more power they’ll have, collectively, to do something.

At least they’re pivoting instead of just doing both.

It’s possible that they specifically won’t in order to get info on others. But that’s me being optimistic

Garage?

And I heard he was hung like this

Is there a term for when a pun just winds up being etymology?

Burn a what now?

I remember most of the R Daneel books, but I admit I haven’t read all the various robot short stories.

The laws were baked into the hardware of their positronic brains. They were so fundamentally interwoven with the structure that you couldn’t build a positronic brain without them.

You can’t expect just whatever random AI to spontaneously decide to follow them.

Yeah “imaginary” isn’t a good name and doesn’t convey what they are. No one is learning about imaginary numbers before being familiar with the Cartesian plane, they’re literally just another number line perpendicular to the reals. Ironically, one could call them “normal” numbers for that reason. But really any synonym for “perpendicular” would be better than “imaginary”. I think “orthogonal numbers” has a nice ring to it.

They rest in the boxes they came in.

Still, it’s a niche amusement park. Not really the purview of the government.

Short of the grant part, isn’t that basically what the ADA does?

I get what you’re saying, but it’s an amusement park. It’s a nice thing, but it’s not exactly the first thing I’d spend tax income on.

Broken clock

Blasted is nothing, wake me up when they get slammed.

Right now it looks more like that’ll be a Musk project.
