Monopoly’s precursor “The Landlord’s Game” was invented by Lizzie Magie in the early 1900s to demonstrate why Capitalism needs Georgism to actually have any semblance of fairness, competition, and longevity.

Georgism is roughly the idea that ALL tax should come from land ownership, and that taxes on labour/wages should be abolished.

The game was created to be a “practical demonstration of the present system of land grabbing with all its usual outcomes and consequences”. She based the game on the economic principles of Georgism, a system proposed by Henry George, with the object of demonstrating how rents enrich property owners and impoverish tenants. She knew that some people could find it hard to understand why this happened and what might be done about it, and she thought that if Georgist ideas were put into the concrete form of a game, they might be easier to demonstrate.

Thor, Noah, and Odin?

Didn’t recognize him without the leaf.

Get that doctor shit in place, and the other two are going to fall into place more easily.

… betting it costs some money to become a doctor!

Have to admit, I’m in the doorknobs still exist timeline. We never received the very obvious and successful alternative which gained wide popularity in other parts of the multiverse, but unfortunately not in this timeline!

Modi has been a far-right Hindu Nationalist this whole time, this is in line with the rest of the RSS partys goals.

GTA 6 will finally be released by archeologist thousands of years from now.

Blame Jung.

The original mechanical turk prank was better.

…also, if you were really engineering a machine that could mix different drinks it would just be a bunch of pumps and tubes to various ingredients.

Do we know how human brains reason? Not really… Do we have an abundance of long chains of reasoning we can use as training data?

…no.

So we don’t have the training data to get language models to talk through their reasoning then, especially not in novel or personable ways.

But also - even if we did, that wouldn’t produce ‘thought’ any more than a book about thought can produce thought.

Thinking is relational. It requires an internal self awareness. We can’t discuss that in text so much that a book is suddenly conscious.

This is the idea that"Sentience can’t come from semantics"… More is needed than that.

That would be funny - if a contestant demanded to take the letters they ‘bought’ with them.

But seriously, epistemic consistency is important to evidence gathering and proper argumentation.

Because people get all their music from MP3s downloaded via limewire, and store them on usb drives apparently.

Such a modern operating system! Forward thinking Microsoft.

Exercise everyday, then you at least know you are the cause of your pains.

I get the feeling the hole in the wall is part of the kink.

Poor bastard is going to spend the rest of his days wondering if he was created to be a waifu.

Yeah, it seemed weird that Janeway and Tom Paris turned into this, but I get it now.

Always.

Just roll with it my dude! Be the hedgehog!
