Humans are social creatures. We’re not meant to live alone. The advise suggesting we should be able to seems to me like cope. I think you’re barking up the wrong tree.

Jews don’t have a right to an ethnostate. No one does. Jews have a right to live within any country in the world, but not run an apartheid government or commit genocide.

I think this concept is an exercise in fantasy. There’s simply no such thing as a free market. Why we single out subsidy as non free is arbitrary. What activities constitute legitimate free market behavior? There’s no actual logically sound distinction. The real distinction is “what we do is free market and what our opponents do is not”

My friend, what is so special about the government? If a company uses its massive profits in one area to crus competition by selling at a loss in another area, this is the free market, and when a government does it it is something else? I think you have not thought this through

I bet you can’t name a single company that doesn’t perform some critical function at a loss.

How about “loss leader”? Ever use napkins at a diner? Buy Costco chicken? I think you are repeating things you were taught but they aren’t true

We’re talking about China subsidizing goods that it sells in another country. This is bread and butter “free market” behavior. Literally every company in the world does this one way or another.

I’m not hearing an argument, and I won’t be thinking one up for you. Seems like only a difference of degree to me.

Lol, how is this not a free market? Apple subsidizes dozens of organizations internally to advance its strategic interests, what’s the difference?

This is an unambiguous good. Why do you sound so bitter about it?

I’d like to get out while I can, but to what country? Any suggestions?

By the way the answer to your question is simple: the American people are fascists, not just the president.

As loathe as you may be to admit it, there is such a thing as truth. Both sides claiming something doesn’t mean both sides claims are true (or conversely that neither sides claim is true).

You don’t seem to be thinking very well.

You haven’t contested the substance of the argument at all. It’s as though you agree.

Sorry but this is a shit definition.

You’ve defined scamming people, a totally voluntary error, as creative not extractive.

You’ve also defined building roads as extractive not creative.

I think you’re latching onto some very misguided principles.

My argument is that timing is very important to adoption. Unix is not the best OS to have been designed by far, but it was the first free one. If go had been delayed, something else may have filled the slot, and there’s no reason to believe it would have been a better something else. I.e when Go did release 2 years later, but with generics, it’d be too late, and no one would care.

My point is that if you delayed the release of Go, there’s no reason to believe you end up with a better world. So his argument is bunk.

Go interfaces are unique in that they are implicit. Duck typed, if you will. That is not present in Haskell.

Why would a better planned language win and not one that rushed and beat go to the finish?

The idea that it would be better if go waited an additional year or two to launch with generics is laughable. That extra year probably makes the difference for the languages success.
