  • It’s pretty wild just how much dependence the Soviet space program had on Korolev personally that once he died the whole thing just fell apart. Having one guy driving the technical side and securing the political side is possible if you have a sufficiently talented person (like Korolev) but it’s inherently unstable.

    That said the Soviets did do a lot of really cool space stuff, including getting probes to land and photograph the surface of Venus (which is an extremely hostile environment).


  • Idk, sometimes it seems like people jump to banning things because a small group of people will misuse it, instead of trying to prevent that misuse, particularly prevelant these days.

    I think what you’re arguing is really what is peoples’ reasonable expectation to not be recorded in public. In the general sense, people do not have that legal right. I’m allowed to just go outside and record a video on my phone and whoever happens to be in it happens to be in it. Whether its legally codified or not I de facto have the right to do that, and you don’t have the right to tell me to stop (up to the point where I follow someone and it gets to legal harassment).

    So on this point you’re 100% right in terms of how things are.

    Do you think glasses on peoples faces aren’t out in the open? While yes creeps are going to creep, I don’t know banning the idea of the technology entirely is the right way to go about preventing that, especially considering there’d a large amount of potential positive benefits on the contrary.

    I don’t see the inherent societal value in clandestine recording ability being everywhere. I can see that it would have some value sometimes, but this won’t be a few creeps. Adoption of this tech will be led by creeps. That will be the primary use case.

    But I suppose this discussion doesn’t matter since eventually this tech will be so easily accessed that it will become the reality no matter what anybody thinks.


  • They aren’t his ideas lmao, he’s not exactly Marx or something. He parrots basic socialist rhetoric. I can engage with that just fine without ever having to waste my time on Hasan.

    Just to be clear, your sole problem with Hasan is his net worth? lol.

    His concern for the poor.

    Unproven. “You can’t have genuine concern for the poor without being poor” is definitely one of the opinions of all time. You haven’t even tried to justify it.

    Cool, not relevant.



  • Besides that, there’s no healthy reason for you to be this invested in defending a streamer. Politics should not be a cult of personality if you actually want to achieve anything.

    Says someone writing pages about it along with many lies.

    He is dishonest by pretending to align with socialist ideals while hoarding money, to the extent of buying oversized property in what is probably the 3rd or 4th most infamously-expensive place in the country.

    Dishonesty requires being dishonest about something. What is he being dishonest about?

    He could’ve donated that money to help the people he claims he wants to see helped.

    Cool so suppose he did that and was sufficiently poor for your liking would you have something to actually say about his views?

    You seem way more invested in hating than engaging with his ideas.
