A lot less mod power trips, willful misinterpretations, rage-baiting, and neurotic narcissists on the verge of episodic breakdowns.

I do wish Lemmy felt more than just an online repository, though. I don't know how to get to know anyone since there haven't been many things relevant to me.

Here it is!

Using Mailchimp for now because it's free. I also made a discord server if you're interested:

Both are barebones and will be revised in my spare time. I don't expect to work on them much because I'm not trying to develop a following.

I hope it works out.

It seems like you thought this through and sought feedback from people.

Either way, this isn't for me.

Thank you for your insight.

I was more concerned about how men reacted to it than the legitimacy or analysis of the 'bear vs man' hypothetical.

Your logic is undeniable.

However.

Thank you. I was hard on myself, but the course was upfront that the exams would be challenging on purpose.

My understanding is that the grades are curved. I still feel bummed about the questions I missed, but from what I've heard from my classmates, I probably did relatively better even though I felt like I fell short.

The stuff I'm working on is too important for me to make mistakes, so I am especially hard on myself. I often feel like I'm the only one solving the problems that I am.

Nice, that's on my bucket list.

Yeah, I agree.

Poor decisions still happen, but this would be a nice safeguard to lessen the severity and frequency of such poor decisions.

Most economists today would not support a tariff and subsequently wreck the economy.

I agree experts can be wrong and have been wrong many times throughout history.

I can also see the concerns for maintaining the status quo.

What I'm thinking of is a less extreme variant of technocracy, where academic organizations, think tanks, etc. nominate candidates according to their own criteria. That way the overall bar is raised while leaving the decision on who is 'qualified' decentralized among the public.

My issue isn't that goldbug economists are promoting harmful policies during a depression. Some issues are complex, and people are fallible.

My issue is that tariffs are widely agreed to be harmful, yet we have tariffs wrecking the economy now. Tariffs arguably constrain people's rights by reducing their freedom to purchase what they want at fair market prices.

Like, at the very least, we should be avoiding blatant mistakes that most experts agree on. The fact that we did, in fact, make a glaring mistake against the advice of basic economics means that something is broken with the system.
