triage may require you to allow people to die

That's doing your best to save as many lives as you can without shooting anyone. It's not the same as murder.

if you believe the solution to the trolly problem is to actively change tracks

Nobody would kidnap a bunch of people and engineer that trolly scenario with "ethics experiments" goals in mind. It'd just be a game for his amusement/ego trip. It'd be just about sadism, regardless of how he justifies it. Such a person is going to continue to play with the survivors until he tortures and rapes the last one to death. Everyone in the tracks and the person at the button is going to die. The solution to any actual trolly problem that could exist in real life is not to engage with the sadism of whoever put everyone in that situation by playing along. Every death will be on the lunatic, not you.

No, It doesn't. Everyone has done evil in their lives. We're not demons. Demons aren't wicked humans. Demons are a different creature.

I didn't say flesh makes something a person either. I don't call animals people.

As far as I can understand, you interpret it as a 'the ends justify the means'

I'm just against calling murder humane.

That's like defending abortion as humane because it avoids all the child's future sufferings.

That interpretation is probably true, since nobody actually believes there's more than two sex types of human. It is not charitable, however, since pretending to believe the lie to avoid trouble is both cowardly and the main way these ideas take hold on society.

Dailywire directly attacks Bloombergs' claims:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/bloomberg-flubs-data-for-bombshell-report-that-only-6-of-new-corporate-hires-are-white

Bloomberg study finds that 94% of new corporate hires are 'people of color. (...) It’s an astonishing statistic that took the internet by storm: 94% of jobs created in 2021 went to racial minorities. It’s also completely untrue.

The percentage of new jobs that went to whites was likely about 46%, eight points below the 54% white makeup of companies’ existing workforces. That’s to be expected given demographic changes in the United States since the time that the currently-retiring baby boomer generation first entered the workforce.

Though Bloomberg spun the tale as a victory for Black Lives Matter, blacks benefited the least of any racial group from the slight decline in whites, according to the analysis. The percentage of black hires was up from the status quo by 1%, while Asians were up by 2%, and Hispanics were up by 4%. That’s also explained by demographics.

Dailywire then goes onto detail about the numbers and how Bloomberg jumped the gun in their fervor to claim an ideological victory.

What I do like about the Substack was that leading causes of death by age group image: https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F2eff24ce-6a3f-41e8-b478-56374e152860_744x1200.jpeg
Interesting to see the main causes of death by age group displayed like that. I didn't know most deaths between 18-44 year olds was due to opioids. Alarming stuff.

Awful nomenclature, but the answer is very little.

A famous person's digital 'IP' wouldn't maintain its value for long after it begins to be exploited for money in generic ways. Think post-Lucas Star Wars. Also, it can all be pirated for shitpost content, diluting the value even further.

I just saw your link and I found the animation beautifully abstract and experimental, message notwithstanding.

There are no true believers. Not a single person in that audience would ever want to have sex with a trans woman.

They're colloquially known as the dark ages due to the immense loss of knowledge and technology because of the fall of Rome.

Nah, they're called dark due to idiotic stereotypes.

It had many positive aspects as well, but many negative.

As you more or less implied, The 21st century is going to be a lot worse than the worst of medieval misinformation.
