This one was first, and there are no threadbans, which in my opinion means this is the thread that should be used.

Do you have any problem with this?

Hmmmmm.

I saw a thread from Evince, clocked at 438 my time, over ten minutes behind this one. I am with you on dupe threads, they are clutter, only when the first thread has theadbans should other threads be made according to me.

Some people only clutter threads with TDS. It's like graffiti on a beautiful building. Judicious thread bans makes thing less cluttered.

A lot of people clearly have no interest in better quality at JPP, and let's be clear.....this is a huge MotherFucking problem.

Many of the movement’s leaders, most notably Oxford moral philosopher Will MacAskill, have embraced an argument that because so many more humans and other intelligent beings could live in the future than live today, the most important thing for altruistic people to do in the present is to promote the welfare of those unborn beings, by ensuring that future comes to be by preventing existential risks — and that such a future is as good as possible.

If one goes through the “longtermist” causes funded by Bankman-Fried’s now-defunct charitable enterprises and by the Open Philanthropy Project (the EA-aligned charitable group funded by billionaires Cari Tuna and Dustin Moskovitz), the money is overwhelmingly dedicated to efforts to prevent specific threats that could theoretically kill billions of humans. Before the collapse of FTX, Bankman-Fried put millions into scientists, companies, and nonprofits working on pandemic and bioterror prevention and risks from artificial intelligence.

I was suspicious of MacAskill hanging out with billionaires lecturing the rest of us about how to live ethically.

MacAskill is a total retard. He's a goddamned idiot. If you think you can make people altruistic-- and Bankfraud-Man wasn't being altruistic but rather hedonistic-- you're an utter and complete fool. Bankfraud took Other People's Money (OPM) and did whatever the hell he wanted with it. Giving billions to politicians is NEVER altruistic. NEVER! It is self-serving and often nothing more than a corrupt bribe to buy them off.

Max Ass Kill is fucking retard!

The ancient wisdom that one should not assume malevolence when incompetence could be the cause no longer works. The modern reality is the opposite, because people now are much more shit quality than our ancestors were.

The collapse of Christianity might be the cause.

Let the Buyer Beware

I have little/no sympathy for anyone who loses their shirts in investments - whether it was a con or not.


Rule Number One about investing?
NEVER INVEST MONEY YOU CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE.

Rule Number Two?
NEVER TRUST ANYTHING, ANYONE SAYS.


Investing money is for men and women who know what they are doing.
Not for boys and girls who are greedy and clueless.

Investments and cons are two different things.

You are comparing apples and oranges.

'investment
1 of 2
noun (1)
in·​vest·​ment in-ˈves(t)-mənt
: the outlay of money usually for income or profit : capital outlay'
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/investment

Investing is the act of investing money into something.

A 'con' (in this instance) just means the facts/data of the 'something' you invested in, were deliberately misrepresented.

An investment can be legitimate or illegitimate (a 'con').



We are done here...for now.

Good day.
