yogthos OP , to worldnews in Western Companies Are Now Paying for Russia Sanctions
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I see you have problems with reading comprehension, which explains a lot about the way you attempt to argue with people. Here’s an article that you won’t bother reading with lots of specific examples, focusing on the US, but applicable to all countries under financial capitalist regimes.

americanaffairsjournal.org/…/the-value-of-nothing…

It’s hilarious how you keep screeching for detailed and specific examples while you’ve already ignored detailed explanations you were provided. You haven’t made any actual argument here, no counterpoints, and just keep bleating how you “live in a social democratic welfare state”, which is what using buzzwords in place of an argument actually looks like.

You’re utterly clueless, and you’re not fooling anybody here.

I told you i live in a social democratic welfare state. Education is free for all citizens. But I’m sure you have a degree in economics and know better. Right?

I know plenty of people with degrees in my industry who can’t tell their head from their ass. Having a degree doesn’t mean you actually understand what you’re talking about, and the fact that you can’t make a coherent point here is proof of that.

We see different crashes in different sectors, in different countries for reasons so much more complex than i can explain to you here. You’re talking full on course material. Not that you would care to listen anyway.

The specific reasons for each crash are different, however we’re discussing underlying mechanics that lead to these crashes happening on regular basis. If you actually learned anything when you earned your degree, then you’d understand that. You might want to think about why China hasn’t been experiencing such crashes over the past decades.

This is proof of how you are being dishonest when you keep referring to “the west” and “the capitalist system”. You’ve been on lemmy preaching this stuff for how long exactly?

The proof is that you haven’t actually managed to make a coherent argument here. I gave you detailed examples of the mechanics that create short term thinking within capitalism. You just ignored that and keep repeating nonsense smugly.

And that is another fantastic “nuh uh. You are!” What a response.

yogthos OP , to science in Giving Up on Consciousness as the Ghost in the Machine
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

She does a good job explaining how mind-body dualism is a fundamentally flawed idea. And very much agree that consciousness is basically a result of feedback mechanism. More specifically, I’d say that it’s a result of the mind creating a model of itself for the purposes of metacognition that facilitates self modulation. We need to model ourselves to be able to reason about ourselves, do introspection of our actions, and to be able to adjust our behaviors.

Indeed, there are legitimate practical uses for machine learning where you need to find patterns in massive amounts of data.

But I’m in economics.

Should really ask for your money back for your degree buddy. You got scammed.

And your description of reality does not fit the large majority of serious enterprises.

It very much does, and that’s precisely why we see constant crashes within the capitalist system.

But you are so clearly being dishonest and disingenuous on purpose to paint a picture of the global market that doesn’t reflect reality.

You are so clearly projecting here, it’s not even funny.

yogthos OP , to worldnews in Ukraine at a Crossroads: End the War or Risk Defeat
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Sadly, this is as sober as mainstream media gets in the west. I completely agree that the whole idea of a freeze ignores the elephant in the room which is the fact that Russia is winning, and has absolutely no reason to go along with that. Freezing the conflict would basically allow NATO time to rebuild, and then things would revert back to the situation that was in place before the war started.

yogthos OP , (edited ) to worldnews in Trump says Taiwan should pay the US for its defence as ‘it doesn’t give us anything’
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I talk to people there everyday.

Wait till you find out about the concept of selection bias.

Meanwhile, ideas don’t form in a vacuum. US had political capture of Taiwan for many decades drowning it in its propaganda. US interference in Taiwan politics and media is very well documented. US has poured countless millions into shaping the opinions of the people in Taiwan through orgs like NED, it directly grooms US politicians such as Tsai Ing-Wen. This is what’s known as cultural hegemony.

However, despite all that, the overwhelming majority of people in Taiwan want to maintain the status quo. The desire for Taiwanese independence has experienced a significant drop over the past three years, with only 25.3% of people who want to “move toward independence” or seeking “independence as soon as possible” - down from nearly one-third - 32.4% - in 2020.

So yea, end of discussion. You’re a peddler of imperialism and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Taiwan is literally a province of China as even US acknowledges. The SUPER bad look is to try and justify the interference by burger empire in other countries.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Yet, US is the asshole that’s coming half way across the world to meddle in another country’s internal affairs. It’d be akin to China funding and arming an independence movement in Texas.

US doesn’t protect anybody, it uses people as geopolitical pawns and then discards them like used condoms.

US is literally the global bully that’s fucking around in China’s internal affairs here. Not only that, but US is a deplorable kind of bully that speaks with a forked tongue:

The United States approach to Taiwan has remained consistent across decades and administrations. The United States has a longstanding one China policy, which is guided by the Taiwan Relations Act, the three U.S.-China Joint Communiques, and the Six Assurances. We oppose any unilateral changes to the status quo from either side; we do not support Taiwan independence; and we expect cross-Strait differences to be resolved by peaceful means. We continue to have an abiding interest in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.

It’s literally the burger empire coming half way across the world to fuck around in China’s internal affairs. I sincerely hope Russia starts funding and supporting a separatist movement in Texas, so that burgerlanders can experience what that feels like first hand.

I imagine geopolitical concerns are the primary reason for US interest in controlling Taiwan. I’m not even sure what US is protecting the chip industry from exactly. It’s not like US isn’t utterly dependent on China for manufacturing already, and China is clearly perfectly happy to export chips to US. The whole problem ultimately stems from the irrational US policy towards China.

I never expected to have a rational discussion with you in the first place.
