Is a passable but bad example of authenticity.

Truth is orthogonal to effort. Alice crafted a message. She distilled years of experience into a pithy tweet. Bob crafted a message to round out his brand.

I want to hear what others truly believe.

The entire authenticity cult is a creation of modern media and is as much manufactured…

Where can I learn more about this? (serious)

In what way are the incentives different?

Is the incentive to work different? I thought it worked like this:

Under UBI if you earn $1 you are always $1 richer. Under negative income tax, if you earn under some threshold, when you earn $1 you are < $1 richer because the govt will hand you less.

Demo-2 is the final major test for SpaceX’s human spaceflight system to be certified by NASA for operational crew missions to and from the International Space Station.

The two astronauts along with the Falcon 9 will be docking with the ISS and then returning home. No crew swap is happening, which seems like a waste of energy. I get that SpaceX isn't "operationally certified", but is a crew swap inherently more risky?

I also deleted my account and encouraged others to do so. I'd love to see their account metrics and to know whether the reason for the decision reversal was primarily driven by individual email responses, HN/reddit outrage, or mass account deletion.

No human should be made to do such mindless work.

In the US, nobody is _made_ to do such work. However, until it is automated there will always be a price for it in the labor market.

And for $13.75 an hour, it definitely isn't worth it.

Presumably the mindless nature of the work increases the wages. Do you recall the minimum wage in that region at the time?

I’m trying to arrive at is a logical sequence of steps like: the less desireable work is, the higher it’s price in the labor market. It’s more profitable to automate more expensive labor. Thus, by quitting you shortened the time-to-automate.

Interesting thought experiment, but how can one argue the point when there is a "people who disagree are ignorant/stupid" premise?

Most people's instant reaction is that it wouldn't work because we don't have it now.

Straw man

After some reflection most people think it wouldn't work for other reasons that they can't adequately explain.
