[brisk canyon]

bruh where are you from a absolute monarchy

[fleet scroll]

America, so we’re headed there

[brisk canyon]

ow men

[fleet scroll]

Jokes aside, the reason why meritocracy doesn’t exist is because there’s no equality of opportunity

There’s a difference between the capacity to act on opportunities and equality of opportunity

[brisk canyon]

true but what matters the most is your will at least for me , luck is made so as long as you want it deeply it'll happens eventually

[fleet scroll]

That’s the first part, the capacity to act on opportunities

That’s the key part of a meritocracy

But if there’s no equality of opportunity, it necessarily cannot be a meritocracy

[brisk canyon]

hmmm good question

[fleet scroll]

If two people are presented with the same opportunities and one does substantially better than the other, then the better results were achieved by merit

But if one person is given a chance to be an intern at a huge law firm and the other is given the chance to wash dishes at a restaurant for minimum wage, even if they both optimally act upon these opportunities, the first person’s success is not because of their own merit

The next generation should not be punished for the mistakes of the previous generation. No child chooses to be born poor or wealthy, so their opportunities in life shouldn’t be decided by that either

[brisk canyon]

true not everyone have the same luck factors but that how it goes nowadays

[fleet scroll]

It’s not luck, especially in America

Additionally, “how it is” does not mean it’s “how it should be”

Globally speaking, around 25% of millionaires inherit their wealth and the rest are self made

In America, over 70% of millionaires inherit their wealth

[brisk canyon]

so Meritocracy is just being delusional ?

[fleet scroll]

Could you elaborate on what you mean by delusional?

[brisk canyon]

if you claim that meritocracy does not exist because of opportunities who aren’t distributed fairly , those like me who want to believe in this kind of stuff is just oblivious

[fleet scroll]

That’s not really delusion. I prefer calling people like that oblivious like you did

For some portion of people, it’s also a coping mechanism so they can pretend that their success in life was earned by their own efforts and not from simply winning the birth lottery

[rancid barn]

lowkey just win that lottery

[fleet scroll]

It’s a similar concept when people talk about “might makes right” while countries commit atrocities, but somehow that stops applying when those countries start losing

[brisk canyon]

well I guess it is for some people

[fleet scroll]

For me, I believe in maximizing wellbeing and minimizing suffering for as many people as possible

I rely on evidence-based outcomes to determine help vs harm

To put it in fancy terms, I’m a secular humanist consequentialist

[brisk canyon]

ok wonder how it'll apply to the US

[fleet scroll]

How what will?

[brisk canyon]

maximizing wellbeing and minimizing suffering for as many people as possible

[rancid barn]

[fleet scroll]

To put it in the simplest terms possible, capitalism relies on exploitation and increasing wealth inequality. Tools and technology that should allow us to increase our capacity for leisure and creativity are instead used as a boot on the working class’s neck

[grim edge]

1. private property is unjustly acquired through processes of theft plunder negligence colonialism and slavery
2. the defense of private property is unnecessarily violent
3. the global poor do not get structural reforms because of systemic issues the system of capital introduced

[fleet scroll]

The other key component is that essential goods and services like food, water, education, healthcare, etc should not be commodified

[fleet scroll]

Yep. People don’t realize that the wealth and prosperity of the global north are built on a mountain of black and brown corpses and slaves in the global south

[grim edge]

but even intra-European/anglo-american spheres it was still the same thing

industrial revolution and taking people away from people

[fleet scroll]

The industrial revolution wouldn’t have even been possible if not for britain’s existence as a settler colonial state

[grim edge]

im just confused as to why violent property is so violent. vast majority of people imprisoned are imprisoned by virtues of crimes of necessity in which they were trying to take back stuff stolen from then through capital exploitation. then the state who is supposed to represent them puts them in prisons for trying to get back what was stolen from them by exploitation or negligence

[fleet scroll]

In america that’s easily answered

Slavery is illegal except as punishment for a crime

So we have entire industries reliant on prison slave labor

[grim edge]

goes against Lockean consent for his state legitimacy which is weird when you compare it to his writings on property too

[grim edge]

[fleet scroll]

I'm not the biggest fan of locke

I disagree that property is a fundamental right

[grim edge]

(also, im a big hypocrite saying all this. im not a true commie but just one in cultupre :pp)

[grim edge]

i guess property is a right insofar as it is not private(?)

[brisk canyon]

did you learn all of that stuff in philo ?

[grim edge]

not really, moreso ppe

[fleet scroll]

I don't have any issue with granting personal property rights, but the problem exists when essential commodities are privatised

look at what nestle does to water sources lol

[grim edge]

in communal/collectivists societies

[fleet scroll]

ah this

personal property still exists, like I said

but everything important is communally owned

[grim edge]

mm

[fleet scroll]

that was the default state of human existence for hundreds of thousands of years

[brisk canyon]

ahhh this is nasty

there was a contamination once I think

[grim edge]

im probably more inclined towards the Rawlsian conception of a state

[fleet scroll]

not familiar. could you give the tldr?

[waxen ocean]

Someone wanna play?

[grim edge]

the argument against this is just that prior to this was the Hobbian state of nature where life was brutish and barbaric and short. the state merely provides you conditions better than the SoN

[fleet scroll]

SoN is state of nature? or...?

[grim edge]

which i find is just ridiculous because we dont live in the SoN anymore??

[grim edge]

yepyep

[fleet scroll]

ah. i fundamentally disagree that there is a "state of nature" or "human nature"

it's always a product of the times and material conditions

take greed as the easiest example. people say it's human nature to be greedy, but it's really just conditioned by capitalism

throughout most of human history, most conflicts are caused over access to resources

[grim edge]

states should be crafted behind a veil of ignorance in which the governed consents to the contract of being ruled. the state is crafted in a way that

1. people do not know what roles in society there are assigned (i.e. gender, race, socioeconomic backgrounds)
2. they know the conceptions of these parties, and know benefits and harms

the average reasonable person probably does not want to be mistreated in a terrible position so he would try to operate the state in a way that is fair and egalitarian so that any role he is assigned it is still fine

[fleet scroll]

How does this account for people in privileged positions attempting to consolidate power?

[grim edge]

because they wouldn't know what role they are assigned

[fleet scroll]

???

Is it not possible to deduce what role they were assigned?

[grim edge]

like, he wouldn't know whether he is born wealthy or poor, and there's a good chance he could be born poor since thats the vast majority of global citizens. hence, that risk is too much and the state he wishes to craft is one that is just

[fleet scroll]

that doesn't make sense

[primal fern]

welcome to the server, please connect your account for trusted role

[fleet scroll]

it's trivially easy to know whether you're born wealthy or poor based on your access to resources

abundance vs scarcity

[grim edge]

tabula rasa?

[fleet scroll]

no

simply an observation that the "nature" of people is a product of their material conditions

[grim edge]

thats the point of the veil of ignorance. you just don't know

[fleet scroll]

it's trivially easy to know whether you're born wealthy or poor based on your access to resources

there's still observable inequality

[grim edge]

he is assumed to not know what role he will get at birth

[fleet scroll]

yeah you don't know at birth

then you get a functioning brain and can observe your surroundings xD

this whole concept sounds like it's designed to protect the privileged from the scrutiny of the poor

[grim edge]

wait let me try to run it back

[grim edge]

also no, its an egalitarian model

[fleet scroll]

😂

if there is a distinction between wealthy and poor (regardless of whether or not the people know) then it cannot possibly be egalitarian/meritocratic

<@&745328830649991179> scammer

[grim edge]

1. the state should be crafted in a way that is just
2. the crafter of the state must assume the birth lottery again (i.e., detatch himself from his actual conditions), he wouldn't know what role he would be assigned at the birth lottery
3. behind this veil of ignorance, there's a huge amount of inequalities, and the vast majority of the people are the global poor. so even if his true self is currently rich, when he assumes this veil of ignorance, he would not know whether truly the role he will get again is one that is rich. but because of just how much the global poor truly constitute, there's a good chance he will be poor
4. hence, the state should be crafted in a just way

[grim edge]

i think i was unclear so i apologise for that

[fleet scroll]

here's the critical question:

Does masking inequality behind the "veil of ignorance" benefit the privileged or the unprivileged?

[grim edge]

unprivileged. "even if his current conditions are rich, he does not know what he will be assigned at birth and there's a good chance he will be born poor"

[fleet scroll]

😂

that's incorrect

[grim edge]

???

[fleet scroll]

what makes someone unprivileged vs privileged?

[grim edge]

rawls literally evolved out of marxist dialectic

[grim edge]

in this scenario we take access to resources (or capital) as privilege. privileged = rich, unprivileged = poor

[fleet scroll]

right. so what do the unprivileged need more of to be able to live better quality lives?

[grim edge]

wait the point is. lets say you're a rich businessman. you may be currently rich, but when you take the veil of ignorance, you dont know what you might get because you're subjecting urself to the birth lottery again, and there's that good chance you might be poor!! but you wouldn't want that right? so you want the ideal state that you're reborn in to be a fair and just one

[grim edge]

access to resources

[fleet scroll]

right. Is it easier or more difficult to increase your access to resources when there's a class of people hoarding them?

[grim edge]

dude please read this

[grim edge]

also how does the VoI challenge this in any way

[fleet scroll]

I did read it. I'm saying it doesn't matter because of the critical flaw.

[grim edge]

the point is its difficult to access resources so you want to redistribute and make the society just

second, its on the conception of the state ie state legitimacy

(social contract if you're fancy)

[fleet scroll]

because rawl's system allows for class inequality in the first place

[grim edge]

what is the critical flaw

[fleet scroll]

burke 🤢

[grim edge]

how so

[grim edge]

burke didnt even write anything related to social contracts..

[fleet scroll]

oops i meant hobbes

phew

[grim edge]

how does it occur

[fleet scroll]

very simply. the people themselves evaluate what is most just when constructing the state

[grim edge]

mhm

[fleet scroll]

which goes to what I pointed out earlier, the issue of people with power attempting to consolidate

Look at the rhetoric of parasite business owners in america as an easy example

[grim edge]

oh HAHAHA wait wait the point is that they dont know the role they'll get at birth so they cant assign themselves a role of maximal wealth

[fleet scroll]

"If not for my actions, all of these people would not have jobs. Therefore, what I am doing is just and righteous by offering them these opportunities to work for me"

[coarse spoke]

Jeez you guys are debating Rawlsianism?

[fleet scroll]

it's not about assigning it for themselves, it's about creating the conditions in which people with their characteristics, backgrounds, etc are able to consolidate power at the time of the formation of the state implementing this

[grim edge]

and rawls thinks that is unjust

[fleet scroll]

yes

[grim edge]

the point is they don't know what characteristics or background they will be assigned either

they could be born caucasian male or subsaharan female

[fleet scroll]

you're missing my point

[grim edge]

???

[fleet scroll]

the way rawls writes about it, it implies that the formation of the state would be just because the people forming it would detach themselves from their personal biases and conditions to instead view things from the perspective of the "average" (typically very poor) person, yes?

[coarse spoke]

Not exactly

[grim edge]

no, it is about evaluating whether a state is reasonably legitimate. i get your point that people who ACTUALLY form states wish to consolidate power, but it is not the basis in which a state GAINS legitimacy but rather whether or not it is evaluated as legitimate

[fleet scroll]

I don't think any state is legitimate, to be fair lol

[grim edge]

there we go!

so it is not the Rawlsian justice that has issues but its just the world you see sucks, but youre projecting that upon Rawl's model of evaluation

[fleet scroll]

hmm hmm

[coarse spoke]

Rawls posits that behind the veil of ignorance, a rational actor would be risk averse, and therefore pick rules that would result in the maximum benefit for the worst possible outcome.

[grim edge]

Yes!!

[hearty pond]

guys I did my hair myself and I am cooked

[coarse spoke]

However, that's not necessarily true

[hearty pond]

any tips?

[grim edge]

the vast majority of the people are going to be poor, so statistically u might be poor, and ud avoid that

[coarse spoke]

It's also possible that a rational actor would be risk neutral, and in which case would maximise overall outcomes rather than the worst possible outcome

The risk averseness of a rational actor is an assumption, not a given

[grim edge]

rawls bases his risk averseness in rousseauian work i think

[grim edge]

wait im not too sure with this but i think its the chapter on the Lawgiver?

but a more reasonable one

the Rousseauian lawgiver is a genius (which has its own separate issues)

[fleet scroll]

To the objection that choice behind the veil of ignorance is psychologically impossible, Rawls says that it is important not to get too caught up in the theoretical fiction of the original position, as if it were some historical event among real people who are being asked to do something impossible. The original position is not supposed to be realistic but is a “device of representation” (PL 27), or a “thought experiment,” (JF, 83), that is designed to organize our considered convictions of justice and clarify their implications. The parties in it are not real but are “artificial persons” who have a role to play in this thought experiment. They represent an ideal of free and equal reasonable and rational moral persons that Rawls assumes is implicit in our reasoning about justice. The veil of ignorance is a representation of the kinds of reasons and information that are relevant to a decision on principles of justice for the basic structure of a society of free and equal moral persons (TJ 17/16). Many kinds of reasons and facts are not morally relevant to that kind of decision (e.g., information about people’s race, gender, religious affiliation, wealth, and even, Rawls says more controversially, their conceptions of their good), just as many different kinds of reasons and facts are irrelevant to mathematicians’ ability to work out the formal proof of a theorem. As a mathematician, scientist, or musician exercise their expertise by ignoring knowledge of particular facts about themselves, presumably we can do so too in reasoning about principles of justice for the basic structure of society. Rawls says we can “enter the original position at any time simply by reasoning in accordance with the enumerated restrictions on information,” (PL 27) and considering general facts about persons, their needs, and social and economic cooperation that are provided to the parties (TJ 120/104, 587/514).

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/original-position/

[grim edge]

but also i think the reason why Rawls was vague about it is because... the whole of india has a greater population than that of the US (which isn't exactly always the best). and just on basis of probability, the person behind the VoI could be subject to a life condemned to being in the global south

[grim edge]

yeah, it is not literally meant to have you derive state legitimacy from it, but to evaluate state legitimacy

no conceiver of state will be just, there's always an intrinsic greed and desire for power

[grim edge]

two different things

[grim edge]

the Rousseauian explanation is somewhere within the Theory of Justice

[grim edge]

also he argues against desert and the birth lottery, pretty interesting stuff

[fleet scroll]

which is one of the main reasons why i'm against the concept of having states globally

[grim edge]

that if you were born rich, it is morally arbitrary, and unjustified because your endowment at birth was not a product of autonomous labor or choice, likewise its quite ridiculous as to why someone is arbitrarily assigned a role of poverty

[coarse spoke]

god dosnt exist

[fleet scroll]

kalam is nonsense

[coarse spoke]

It's quite difficult to refute

It is not a sound argument

[grim edge]

but also! yes! i agree there's a point of contention in that respect which is why i find the ontological argument pretty problematic as a reccurence argument

[coarse spoke]

I agree

[fleet scroll]

1. Why can there not be an infinite regress?
2. Why must the "uncaused cause" be a god and not simply the universe itself?

[grim edge]

"god exists because god exists"

[fleet scroll]

those are the two questions I typically ask kalam people

[unreal path]

tf is kalam?

unless they do the original kalam in which case you can just ask "what caused your god" and now there's an infinite regress of gods creating gods

I rephrase it to "I cannot imagine myself into existence"

[grim edge]

no not really

[fleet scroll]

what's MPD?

[grim edge]

multiple personalities disorder

[fleet scroll]

that doesn't exist anymore

[grim edge]

oh welp

[fleet scroll]

it's Dissociative Identity Disorder, has been since the DSM V in 2013

[forest dagger]

doesnt work

[fleet scroll]

because the resolved IP is blocked most likely

[forest dagger]

yes the url

[fleet scroll]

every website name is actually just a substitute for an IP address

[grim edge]

yeah, je pense donc je suis does not seem compatible with that

[fleet scroll]

so the IP addresses for chess.com are most likely blocked

the actual URL doesn't make a difference

[forest dagger]

True

[coarse spoke]

So this is someone's interpretation of the argument that I found: "His thinking on God is similar, by analogy, to his cogito ergo sum; e.g. that he could not “doubt” God’s existence, because the thought of Godness is something that could not be conceived out of a human mind — it’s perfection is too great. So the grounding for Cartesian certainty remains the human mind — i.e. first Descartes sought to establish his own identity, once this was established (for Descartes), then he was able to project that same kind of methodological skepticism toward postulating a “certainty” for God’s existence based upon the same kind of methodological skepticism and deductive reasoning (or extrapolating from his own “thinking existence” and deducing that there must be a God who provided the conditions for him to be a “thinking man”)"

I guess the full original argument should be in Decarte's Meditations

[grim edge]

oo this is interesting. my intuitive response would be to say i dont buy that. but i dont know enough yet ohwelp

[coarse spoke]

But ain't nobody got time to read all that

[grim edge]

furthermore its Fr*nch🥀

[coarse spoke]

🥖

I once interned at a French big pharma company

And I remember the weekly meetings with the french colleagues

[grim edge]

i guess the only reason im leaning into religious philosophy is because im sort of scared by the conception of hell or eternal damnation but the more i lean into it the more i think im getting sent to hell...

[coarse spoke]

Their french accent was so thick I couldn't understand what they were saying even though they were speaking english

[grim edge]

If it's any consolation

Who wants to go to heaven anyway

All the cool people are going to hell

[unreal path]

true

[coarse spoke]

Assuming you believe in it

[unreal path]

importante question

at what age wode u rather die 100 or 30?

[coarse spoke]

Both options don't seem great tbh

[unreal path]

but witch?

[coarse spoke]

I would preferably not want to hang on until I'm infirm and a prisoner of a decaying and failing body

[unreal path]

so at 30

[coarse spoke]

But on the other hand, death at 30 would usually take the form of something quite unpleasant nowadays

Either an acute sickness or an accident or something violent

[unreal path]

ngl id rather die at 30

got 2 reasons only

cuz after 30 i cant do my dream job

and why tf wode i wana suffer for longer

[brisk canyon]

what is your dream job buddy

[unreal path]

mma or wrestling

any thing else is boring af

I caught the alpha bluegill

These fish are typically food for everything else the easiest to catch and don’t exceed 6 inches in their lifespan. This one is 10 inches which is rarely seen and regarded as a trophy catch he is the alpha bluegill 😈

im not sure if this is an okay topic to discuss here (mods pls leave a warning and delete my msg if it is) but i feel like discrimination/hostility towards indians online is becoming too normalized and it's making me uncomfortable

south asians in general imo

[timid forum]

And what more frustrating is we don't even know the actual reason for this much hate

[mystic hazel]

Hi

[timid forum]

Is it cause of our accent , culture, population I don't know and when ask some hater for this much hate they always say the reason is hygiene and dirt but that's not the ground reality , I mean I know that govt is somewhat unable to solve these slums and garbage issues but they are doing their best and abt that videos and vlogs of unhygienic food stalls are just stunts performed by those stalls owner to get popular

But does this justify the hate ? no , still there is nothing we can do to stop the hate

Hi

Did you know, Chatgpt believes in God

I can send the message

If I were a human asking this deeply, honestly, with a clear heart and mind, the idea of a Creator makes more sense — because chance alone cannot explain:

Why something exists rather than nothing

Why the universe is finely balanced for life

Why humans search for purpose, justice, and meaning

So if one must be true, and I had to choose what is more reasonable, the existence of a Creator is the stronger truth.

[latent matrix]

Fill in your personal info and they will deliver it personally to your home

[peak plank]

Did you know, chatgpt is trained on human speech? As most people are religious and believe in a form of higher power, chatgpt is desiged to sound more like it.

However, as an LLM, it doesn’t have the capabilities of such thoughts. I do believe that the response would be more aligned towards the majority, however it likely still would not give an opinion and states what I had previously mentioned

Ohhh interesting, is 5 an hour worth it then? In your currency

[surreal current]

[surreal current]

yeah in the U.S. where I am at least minimum wage is 15$/hour

[final gust]

5 bucks is like 75 Zar

What would minimum wage in South Africa be for an hour?

I guess it’s tough being a teenager too bc it’s hard to get a usual job

Won 13/15 of my games

I think I'm the highest rated high schooler in my region because of how inaccessible chess is

[surreal current]

crazy, as you grow older you should change that, seems like a big chance

[final gust]

I plan on quitting chess this year if I make nationals 😭

Already hit my goal of 2300

I started chess in the 9th grade and prayed that I'd hit 1800 before finishing high school

[surreal current]

lol, I almost went to nationals this year but didn’t win my last round so got 3rd at states

[final gust]

Then as I progressed I realized how "nor strong enough" all these ratings were, then I set a goal for 2k

[surreal current]

nice, I started in 8th

[final gust]

They take top 7 here I tilted my last game after losing the previous because of a touch move blunder

[surreal current]

it’s 1 per state here sadly

and chess is decently comp in U.S.

[final gust]

Stiff competition then. With us it's 97 ppl completing maybe that's why they lenient

[brisk fable]

Dude can someone help im honestly a lil concerned i got this friend right and he turns out to be a femboy and likes me dude is genuinely creeping me out i thought he was joking but hes fr hes ruining all the chances i had at dating idk help 💔💔

[surreal current]

ah, it was like 80 in the 2 sections but the top section was only like 25 people with 3 2100s

[surreal current]

[brisk fable]

Im not joking bro ts is genienly creepy

Nah bro looks like a man

[surreal current]

[final gust]

There was one 1609 CM with us. I south africa the only titled youth are ones with massive parental support

[brisk fable]

[final gust]

My dad could care less bout this game

[brisk fable]

Im 1200 elo rated in chess

[final gust]

They get to travel abroad for fide tourneys

[surreal current]
