Comments by "Titanium Rain" (@ChucksSEADnDEAD) on "NY Times Wildly Inflates COVID Numbers For Children" video.

@WhyNotTruth And did you know that what you just said has nothing to do with the original point? Stop deflecting. Are the numbers of hospitalization inflated or not?

@WhyNotTruth By using statistics from January to June. Meanwhile if you look at the UK they're reaching 70% of the dead being double-dosed.

I Coroa Where do these notes come from? Who has the legitimate claim to the resources? These "desert island full of coconuts" analogies are not very realistic.

@coolioso808 "Capitalism isn't some force that existed before humans were around" - Buddy, the tiger needs to consume a surplus of energy, the caloric intake after a hunt has to be greater than the energy expended. That's profit right there. Even plants need "profit". "Maybe they were before the industrial revolution, but for years now, science and math based algorithms" - Okay now that's just a cope. You want life to be managed by "science" and "algorithms"?

I Coroa Money is simply a token of exchange. Yes, it has no intrinsic value (really, nothing has intrinsic value if you go deep enough) because it's important that money can't be used for anything other than exchange, or else the use case would be eating into your ability to do trade. You are not required to have money to have shelter, at least until the government introduced property tax. I wish folks like you would just admit they support outright slavery. You do not have a birthright claim to what others have produced. Yes, Mother Earth exists, and you'd be hard pressed to survive off Mother Earth considering how detached we are from natural order. You think working for a wage is bad? Mother Earth is a cruel mistress who enslaved you to hunger, the cold, etc. and it's you who has to work to take from Mother Earth what you need to survive the hardship it put you through. So don't give me crap about you'd rather live off Mother Earth because you'd perish within the week.

@coolioso808 Science is simply an observational method to understand the world around us. Human algorithms can never be natural. Basic survival always means earning more than you're losing. It's all profit the way down. The point at which you're not profiting from activity, you start the process of dying. Your scientific and algorithmic resource distribution would be bound to make massive mistakes, like they always have. You people want to place all your eggs in one basket and you'll kill hundreds of millions with your hubris.

I Coroa "Living in tropical climate with food forest is EASY and FREE" - And you're paying for internet to come tell me that? Just go live your life. "Stupid man thinks he must live in harsh climate not designed for him" - Buddy I happen to live close to the tropics but my ancestors come from central Europe. There's harsh climate there. People wore pelts.

@coolioso808 "You have an unfortunately flawed understanding of how science and mathematics work. A resource-based economy that is monitored and informed by science" - Buddy, archeologists and biologists have been fooled by fossils because they couldn't tell which side of the animal had legs and which side had spikes on the vertebrae. Science is a process of elimination, and it can be wrong because we drove ourselves into being wrong through false assumptions. "would not be present because the incentives are different" - Nonsense. The incentives are always present. "In a resource-based economy, it is designed to meet all people's needs first and foremost without labor-for-income or slavery." - This is a huge contradiction. If people's needs are met without the requirement of labor, where do the resources come from? Hence you inevitably will need to impose slavery to keep the machine ticking. "you think it would kill millions of people when the expressed purpose is to provide all humans with basic needs" - Because it has been tried. The use of force to keep the system in charge killed millions. The ignorance of the central planners left many without resources and killed million. "Let's use the proven scientific process to figure it out." - This is a joke, right? The scientific process created stuff that doesn't work. The scientific process created stuff that ended up being harmful. You somehow think that science's sh!t don't stink and that no mistakes are made. The process is proven. The results aren't. "yes, of course, in a resource-based economy some mistakes will be made" - And like Lord Farquaard from Shrek said, some of you may die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. "no NEED for politicians" - Hold on. So who gets to be in charge of resources? Who enforces is?

I Coroa You're still here instead of living in nature.

@coolioso808 "Of course science is a process. That's why I literally said, we should use the "scientific process" for resource management." - So your process will be wrong and inevitably proven wrong. Thanks for admitting it. "Sure incentives are always present." - Thanks for admitting it. "what would be the incentive" - Clearly you don't understand humans. Tons of crime is committed without the purpose of meeting any needs. "I just suggest it is not a requirement of living" - And like Bill DeBlasio said the voluntary period has expired. It starts with a suggestion, then it becomes mandatory. "Who is in charge of the resources? Basically Mother Nature. As she has always been." - So you have no enforcement and everything's ripe for the taking. I give it two weeks before everything's on fire. "which removes most of the corrupting factors" - This has to be a joke. "public database that then uses scientific and mathematical algorithms (not rocket science) to determine what resources to best use" - Tell me you don't understand science and algorithms without telling me you don't understand science and algorithms. Are you out of your mind? "You and I could access this just like we go onto an online custom T-shirt store and browse for options" - But the t-shirt store charges money. They handle their resources by getting our resources in exchange. If nobody was paying and just putting orders the shop would have no idea how to prioritize the resources. "defeatist attitude" - And you have a la-la-la-land attitude. Who's going to solve things? Science! Who's going to make decisions? Computers! It's just like an online store.

I Coroa Nice cope. I haven't seen any of you people use guns for anything in... decades? To be fair I wasn't expecting eco-terrorists kicking off the civil war in my apocalypse bingo card, but if that's the way we go right on brother.

@coolioso808 Christ please stop posting novels. "This not MY process, this is the scientific process" - Don't deny responsibility now. "many positive, collaborative, healthy incentives" - Unsubstanciated. "In a more egalitarian system, there would be much less influence and reasons to commit crime" - This is disproven by history. Human living was much more violent back when it was more egalitarian. "not everything's ripe for the taking, all resources are inventoried" - And who enforces it? "An efficient system would have the resources available to produce a product, like a t-shirt, as locally available as possible, and able to use advanced automated machines, like 3D printers, to produce most items on demand" - And how would you know how much filament is needed for the 3d printer? "Again, in the US alone, 40% of all food is wasted" - That's even more insane. So now you're going to predict demand 6 months in advance?

@coolioso808 The scientific process also surgically removed the vocal cords from beagles to study the effects of sand flies. The best tool gets misused all the time. You do know that animals have a limit to those groups, right? Do not make an appeal to nature by bringing up the other primates, because we do not live in nature anymore. Who are these scientists? Who gave them the power? Are scientists armed? Can they get fired? Buddy, the printer "knowing" more filament is needed doesn't do shit when there's 3 tons of filament in goddamn Alaska and zero filament in Florida because your fancy algorithm couldn't predict which place would need it and which place was overstocked. No, you can't predict it. The time lag between planting a crop and the produce being sent to shelves makes it nearly impossible. You can't go run to the farm, plant a tree and get more fruit in the next day. By the time you know there is a shortage, you're already several months too late to correct it. And if you correct it, you might actually overproduce because demand could drop in the next few months. This is the problem with you people. You think a sensor going off in a 3d printer will somehow make a factory in China get an extra filament roll on a ship that's going to dock near your city in 5 minutes. You are completely oblivious to all the gears that need to mesh together and turn to keep the world running, and you think this can be fixed with a sensor.

@coolioso808 "Sensors detecting when resource refills are needed isn't impossible by any stretch" - Sure. The issue is that the sensor detects what you need now, but many things require months to create. Okay, you could localize production. But it would be insane to localize chip manufacturing everywhere. We have fabs in Taiwan, China, Europe, the US, Israel. Those are the big ones. Every country having their own fab would be wasteful in its own way. It's all redundant manufacturing.

@peterwest323 But they haven't changed the formula, right? If you get a booster it's still for the 2019 Wuhan strain. We're several strains ahead.
