The cited article shows that there is no difference in the death rate of donors between opt-in an opt-out countries.

But it does not support the claim that most countries are opt-out. They only look at OECD countries, where opt-in is in the majority (18 opt-in vs 17 opt-out).

Is this satire?

Edit. Dumb question. Of course it is. But I wasn't sure until I saw it cross posted to the onion.

Wizards of the Coast PR released a brief and uncredited statement defending the announcement of the new controversy.

“We know you piggies will swarm like the swine you are around the trough once we put this shit up for sale. We could put a little turd in each booster pack and as long as we said 1 in 4 turds had bits of foil in it they’d sell out immediately because no piggie can resist a bucket of sweet sweet slop.”

I'm surprised it isn't already illegal to install software on someone's phone without their consent or knowledge. Sounds like a form of property damage.

Are there any rules about the legitimacy of the results when not enough people vote? 300x8 ballots is not nearly enough for a city like NoLA.

I love both movies. But I've never thought of the two like this. I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis.

As a side note. I'll make a man out of you is my favorite Disney song.

I've listened to Jordan Peterson a lot in long form conversations. This is my generous interpretation of his views.

Peterson believes that all humans have a hierarchy of values and desires.

Eg you go to work in order to get money in order to get food in order to live in order to play tennis in order to enjoy yourself....

At the top of this hierarchy is the thing that you're ultimately after in life. Jordan defines this thing as "god" and defines the pursuit of it "worship". Therefore, everyone has a god and everyone worships.

He also believes that the past doesn't really exist, as much as our societal memory of it. He would say that the story of Cain and Abel in the Bible is "True", because it is the archetypal brotherly rivalry that we all embody in some sense.

Putting this together. The Bible is "True". Everyone has a "God" they have a personal relationship with and that they "worship".

He is essentially defining things such that everyone is a Christian. Then he says that people just don't understand what Christianity really is.

Maybe im just dumb. But when I read "shrink the economy", I thought it meant negative GDP growth. But they actually mean a 0.06%-pnt reduction in the positive GDP growth. i think they should have used a better word.

I don't see the political charge. How do you mean?

Someone secretly recorded their private conversation and leaked it? How does that happen?

This is going into my Doran deck

By the end of ww2, the nazis were the underdogs.

I don't know how it would be paid for. It's probably prohibitively expensive. But I think it would be cheaper than the product of UBI*population. Poverty is very expensive for a country, and would be reduced by like 80% (made up number).

I'd draw money from my other pie in the sky policies, like ~100% marginal tax on wealth above $500M, and on incomes above $5M/yr. Realistically, I think this would cause wealth flight, so it would have to be global to work.

I don't expect any of this to happen in my lifetime. A more realistic hope is a UBI that you can't survive on, but that keeps you from poverty. Maybe a UBI that equals the poverty line. But then I'd want to keep the minimum wage.
