It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

My attempts to come up with what this misogynistic creep would consider a "friendly superintelligence" keep resembling Elliot Rodger's pre-shooting manifesto.

I also noticed the ".eth" crypto name drop. :agony-4horsemen:

It's literally just Pascal's Wager, but for commodity

Pascal’s Wager

Re-inventing tired theological cliches seems to be the primary occupation of a certain subset of "Philosophers"

It's the networking effect, restated. Being in the network yields greater benefits as the size of the network grows.

Benefits of inclusion are real. Detriments of exclusion are also real.

Everything from real estate enclosures to automobiles to cell phones play out like this. Novelty becomes luxury becomes necessity. In the end, if you don't have these things and facilitate their growth, you suffer up to the point of death.
