@adiz i tried to explain how less than 400 nonsensical entries in a database of 300m records is a negligible error rate to bumpkins about a week ago. i did not walk away from the experience with any degree of confidence.
@icedquinn The best society is a sort of "polite free market" enforced by vicious proletarian violence against market entities for transgressions.
I liken it to the analogy of a town without laws against age of consent, etc.. There is a creepy old man who is grooming and sexually abusing young girls, and everybody knows it, but the government is toothless to do anything about it. What should the townsfolk do about this problem? How ought that issue be solved? ---And, solved in such a way as to be an exemplar to any other predators out there who might also want to take advantage of the toothless government?
In this scenario, the townsfolk need to have a collective consciousness that allows them to protect one another from the government when what needs to be done is done. But, assuming they are united therein, they can work together to have a society that otherwise remains free, yet bad actors who would abuse that freedom are coerced into good behavior by the invisible threat of collective ultraviolence.
@icedquinn@adiz would you like me to explain how 17% year-over-year growth in an industry in which competitors experienced 38%+ year-over-year growth in a 15% inflationary economy is not a win
@s8n@adiz guy is off at the WEF talking about how ceos and companies a force for good and people should be taxed... while simultaneously engaging in Disposable Humanity and aggressive tax evasion.
