Great! I'll tell you the same thing I tell libertarians who talk about how open borders aren't fiscally suicidal because we can just get rid of the welfare; solve the problem first, and then we can talk.




Are you talking to libertarians for whom the collapse of the government isn't a goal?

I remember thinking that the Christian right would collapse in the wake of Obama’s re-election. If it’s even done so, it’s been in slow motion, more shelved than imploded. Any realignment to right-populism is going to be just as slow and noncommittal.




What would that have looked like?

Who is more powerful though?


An activist that lives off of 24k per year passive income, or a doctor working 80hr weeks up to his eyes in debt?


Income doesn't really factor in.

The classic definitions that matter is that the lower classes work for someone else, the middle classes work for themselves, and the upper classes don't work.


Such a definition describes political power rather than anything else, it is hard to run for office when your boss can fire you, and it is easy when you answer to passive income only.


I've not any other definitions that really describe how the differences matter other than cultural.

Choosing not to choose is like thinking you can not join a gang in prison. You're just gonna get corn holed by both sides.




You know you can get by in prison by being otherwise useful? A friend got by by making snacks rather than joining a gang.

How much effort should a person be reasonably expected to carry out if they want to be politically informed?




"How much of a moral imperative is there to be well-read?" is probably the bigger question around this.


I'd say as it concerns anything worth speaking of, one should have enough knowledge to string together both sides of an argument and have them make sense to those that hold them to be a moral person.


I also say that morality isn't widespread in the current world.

In such a case, some data > no data, just keep in mind the error bars are higher than they would be if this was an established survey house polling on a traditional question like "who do you want for president".




If it makes us draw a false conclusion then yes, it is most certainly worse than no data.


No hedging of the claim seems to be occurring, it isn't "my followers" after all, and the blatant motte and bailey here probably has pushed me out of suspicion and into hostility as it concerns Aella.

, and they are still going strong.




This is an unsupported statement, the decline of Christianity is almost exclusively composed of these Churches with conservative churches consistently posting growth numbers.


It is to the point where several of them near me post congregations in the single digits and share a pastor over a month.

				I am NOT soliciting information on how to procure illicit substances... but I am idly curious how rationalists are getting precisely dosed psychedelics
			
		

	

	

	

		
			

			

				

			

		

			


				

					
The police generally don't really care about psychedelics unless there is some high profile case in the news, part of the reason why it is called the narcotics department.


Chemistry is also simpler than you'd think, similar in difficulty to homebrew in many cases.

it's that for some people, rule following people, your hall monitors, they now missed their entire opportunity to do those things. They missed out on the easy parties, fun hook ups, the intellectual and athletic honors, their whole share for their entire lives.  They missed out on the easy parties, fun hook ups, the intellectual and athletic honors, their whole share for their entire lives. They'll never get over that, because they don't have the spirit and agency to do them later.




Correct me if I've got your wrong, but the compulsive rule followers are the people who want to overthrow society in this thesis?

People treat their social peers differently than their social betters or inferiors. This is true.


Marriage turns you into a mister, pretty much the most obvious example of moving up a social level.
