One of the most interesting experiments in economics is known as the ultimatum game. It deftly gets at a fundamental truth of human nature…
Found this article from 2016 and thought that it is actually a good theory of where we are now as a society.
The rest are my thoughts on this:
The ultimatum game is an experiment a dealer has a 100$ and they are able to offer you any split of the money they like and keep the rest for themselves. If you reject the offer no one gets any money. It has been shown that after increasingly unfair offers people tend to reject the offer even though it isn't a rational move.
People seem to be in a place where they see the benefits of society are unequally distributed and are becoming more willing to throw out the whole system even if it comes at huge cost to them.
We are seeing the same thing with what is happening in New Caledonia with the riots or with even with just people moving off established social media.
It seems like level of awfulness that makes people willing to just say fuck it all is different for everyone but with more occurrences of this happening I do think we are reaching a tipping point on a global scale.
This is actually a part of the reason why I believe countries are starting to regulate social media is so that people aren't reminded of these problems as often.
For example China recently made a law that is going to repress showing wealth on social media. So this is an attempt to hide the problem instead of actually facing it.
This is also related to the US election. Rationally people should choose Biden over Trump but according to the polls it seems like it being the "rational" choice isn't enough.
China is not socialist no matter what they say.

Since whales are teaming up with each other to take down yachts and teaching others how to do it I thought this would be a fun question.
If a majority of intelligent enough sea animals that could communicate with each other teamed up to mess with human activities in the sea who would win.
By the way for people that say that humans would obviously win we have already lost a war against emus before.
You could adjust it to talk about arranged marriages instead.
I think that in the long term that there is one thing going for the truth: It is more coherent and more predictive of what is to come next.
If a country does a campaign that tries to fabricate a story from scratch if they aren't very careful there will be some form of incoherence eventually if there is any slip up. That's why its always easier to just frame the truth in positive or negative lights instead because it removes the need to try and create coherent stories.
And yes I know that there are people that believe incoherent truths about the world but that is mainly because it doesn't actually affect most of the actions that they take on a day to day basis so they don't have an actual incentive to improve their understanding of the world. If they need to make decisions based on that information they will make bad decisions until their understanding of the world has changed or they are out competed by people with more accurate beliefs.

Lies take consistent effort to keep straight and eventually they'll fuck up, Spin is easier and more effective for changing values, and people tend to have more accurate beliefs if they are actually useful to have them.
Edit: grammar
Do you have a link to the original audio for the conversation? couldn't find it in the article.
weird
Edit: It most like was a federation problem on my end.
Unrelated question but why did you not upvote your own comment?
on lemmy.world it automatically does that for you.
FYI I've found that if you download a text expander it allows you to make shortcuts for these kinds of texts making it much easier to add automatically.
On May 10, 2024, Phylum’s automated risk detection platform alerted us to a suspicious publication on PyPI. The package was called requests-darwin-lite and appeared to be a fork of the ever-popular requests package with a few key differences, most notably the inclusion of a malicious Go binary packe...
Once these get advanced enough and the human cost of starting a conflict goes to zero (because they most likely will be able to scale these to whatever kind of conflict is wanted) why wouldn't countries be more likely to start a war.
Or if most regular military battles only become an economic problem then why wouldn't an enemy turn towards more terrorist like attacks like happened in Russia with ISIS.

Idk why I'm mentioning it but compared to a lot of other online platforms where if religion is being mentioned outside of a religious community it is really in your face on Lemmy it seems like when it is mentioned outside of that kind of community it seems relevant to whatever they are saying and are generally nice.
Its a nice change of pace.
Use a searxng instance instead.
Oh wait I forgot lemmy.world isn't federated with beehaw.org anymore so you can't use those communities. Because usually most of the kinds of comments you would be getting would be removed by now.
Well you can get a second account to join beehaw communities or again just reporting and all that stuff.
But honestly I really think you should make a post on !anticorporate@lemmy.giftedmc.com getting more people to do it because this is the kind of thing that would be interesting to them.
Well I think you could do a few things.
A) Talk to your admin about harassment and ask them to look into this when they can.
B) Start posting in communities that have a higher intolerance to this kind of behaviour (I'm thinking Beehaw communities)
C) Make a post on !anticorporate@lemmy.giftedmc.com and see if you can get even more people doing it.
I'm actually thinking of adding these to my posts as well now just to see more people's reactions. Do you know of a way to automatically add it to the end of your posts?
Edit: grammar and spelling.
Seriously what is up with people and the downvotes on this. It is just a link guys.
A lot of this hate feels a bit manufactured because I can't honestly think of a good reason why so many would be so against this.
Yeah all of this hate just feels unnecessary. I'm sorry that @onlinepersona@programming.dev and you are going through this.
Just for the heads up I support you guys.
Oh ok. Well the kind of information is stuff like whether an organization is doing/has xyz or if that person is part of certain departments or something.
what does zip mean in this context?
Edit: better wording.

Automated bots will soon surpass the proportion of internet traffic coming from humans. Global average of bad bot traffic reached 32%.

Do you guys see a difference morally? Why or why not?
Educational - Science, Non-fiction books, Online courses, etc.
Entertainment - Games, Movies + TV, Fiction books, etc.
This started growing in my backyard and I have no clue what it is. Can you guys identify it?
