Inconvenient truth but still the truth

Bold of you to assume he won't stage it and do it anyways

Comparison of top level politicians is the cringest shit ever. They all suck on a level where the differences become irrelevant to the normal citizen. Even if they differ slightly they are still evil enough to be on the top of a broken system.

Edit: Using the word junkie as a slur is also pretty questionable

Passkeys are intentionally badly designed but as long as you use them with an open source password manager they can be an immense security improvement. Alternatively if you're using a cryptographic USB token register a second passkey in your password manager.

Some big org or state actor for an attack with that dimension and target. Possibly state sponsored for political pressure or but much less likely a competing business. But they usually have less obvious ways to fight competitors. So I go with a state sponsored cyber attack.

ACPI S4 Hibernation would like to have a word with you

That's a reaction to

enjoy being left behind I guess

Never said I agree with the rest of the thread. They pollute our waters and waste our energy. They should be worried about their data centers if they wanna keep doing that. Their potential threat prediction abilities are just another reason to target their data centers. If they want peace they should cooperate with the people and not surveil them. Maybe anthropics threat analyst also writes that into his slide-deck.

O let the rest of the world use it until skill vanishes and target their data centers

They aren't, I am here and FUCK GERMANY FOREVER. Technically not a communist but I think this counts for anarchists too and in the end we are brothers until after the revolution.

Now we are so far down that discussion that your first point of the 10% ghouls is also valid for my position. Your examples are cherry picked examples of saints so yeah it could be possible doing well in life in a fucked up society while being no asshole. But do you think your examples are the norm if you consider the population as a whole, since the original poster chose this as his metric to identify good partners? I think there is big correlation between somebody that is doing well in a fucked up society and assholes. Since the being happy part in most people I know comes from ignorance, missing empathy or missing education. And doing well financially comes from the same three plus exploitation or inheritance.

And for the rest:

Things like

out of my control entirely done everything they can to help

doesn't sound fitting. Like there are people who build a community garden center because they like gardening and people who report from war zones. And I don't think it has something to do with them liking war so much.

So yeah maybe you should have clinical depression because the EU drowning thousands of refugees if that leads to action against this. Since more garden centers won't change the world.

I will keep ignoring the last two questions because I have the feeling they will just get us further away from the original post.

You're the only one talking about abstract ethical systems. The original discussion is about being a good catch for doing good in life. And doing good in terms of being generally happy (your interpretation) while seeing the world suffer is the opposite of being empathic. Because empathy is a valuable good in relationships. So this is in my view not the best catch but there are levels to this.

Yes it is called empathy, it's nothing you can buy yourself out of by doing good things. If you are somehow interested in the well being of the people it just doesn't magically disappear after helping some of them. It doesn't make you evil but it's certainly not a good sign to weigh these things against each other. The ability to feel good while seeing the world suffer seems to me problematic.
