  1. I can 1/2 agree with that but Mearsheimer has also been typical of his Libertarian roots in the entire Ukraine discussion in that he blames American Liberal hegemony. He gave a great lecture at Yale a few years ago explaining that issue. I highly recommend it. He's been right (as many others have pointed out) about America & NATO going too far and putting pressure on Russia in a way that was always going to blow back. Mearsheimer's also been totally bat crap bonkers off the wall crazy about letting Putin have what he wants. Peter Zeihan (during an interview with Jordan Harbinger) ripped Mearsheimer to shreds on this issue. Mearsheimer ignores the point that Putin has said he wants to write the security policy for 18 countries on the border of Russia or close to. Those countries have almost 280 million people and Mearsheimer says "Let Putin have them" and they get no say in the matter. Just as Mearsheimer says the fault of American Liberals is that they can't help themselves when the interfere in countries and try to remake them as Liberal Democracies because its hardwired into them. Mearsheimer also betrays the great weakness of American Libertarianism which is they are opportunistic narcissists. If they want something they take it and don't care what happens or what the consequences are. If they don't want something they wont care about what happens or what the consequences are. In simplest terms American libertarians are about what they want and f*ck everyone else. And Mearsheimer gives that away - let Putin have what he wants because I don't care what happens.

  2.  @doofyler  Exactly - I sum Libertarians up in the simple statement: "I demand the Liberty to strip other people of their liberty."

  3. I wished I had found this when you first posted it. I am an aerospace engineer and this is by far the best retort and explanation of the basic reality of AI. I work in industrial control systems and automation. There are some things I have done and code I have written that I can describe in ways that would make the average person think I work in AI. Nothing I have done is AI but I can describe it as if it is. So to see someone of Feynman's repute explain this in the way he has and do such a good job is a pleasure. Thanks so much for the post.

  4. ​ @slayerhuh404  ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THIS IGNORANT OF REALITY. What has Russia done? Where do you want to start and so we are fare YES America and the West are just as guilty of these sorts of things. But here's some things on Russia. HOW ABOUT smashing the SHlT out of Eastern Europe from 1945 to 1988. Why don't go and try and tell you nonsense to the East Germans, Poles, Lithuanians, Latvians, Romanians, Bulgarians, and a few other places. HOW ABOUT all the dirty little wars they started or fermented in Africa, Asia, South America,....... HOW ABOUT the rape of the Southern Pacific Ocean fisheries all through the cold war era. HOW ABOUT there interference in fomenting and supporting dirty little shitfests across the Middle East. HOW ABOUT the gigantic flood of small arms across the 3rd world. Of all the WMDs that have ever been made nothing has killed more people than the AK47 and your friendly Russians dumped them everywhere they could often selling to both sides. And so we are 100% SURE YES America and its allies did and still do the same shitty things Russia has done and still does. And lets not leave out the Chinese of that crap either.

  5. Well this clowns remarks haven't survived that well. He's been a huge voice for Crypto and Bitcoin and look what's happened. I guess he'll come out before too long and claim Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger don't know how to trade and invest. Because they both told everyone that Crytpo was a fantasy long before this clown mouthed off.

  6. What a brilliant remark and/or observation. "I think that we are getting close to intelligent machines but they're showing the necessary weaknesses of intelligence."

  7. If you and others are going to keep giving air time to mentally ill people like Kanye West. I'm all for liberty and free speech WITHIN REASONABLE LIMITS. Giving air time to a person with his level of delusion is OUTSIDE THE LIMITS OF WHAT'S REASONABLE. There are some incredibly serious issues in the world right now, from war in Ukraine with the potential to go nuclear, to the genocide of the Uyghur people, to starvation in Africa, to war crimes in Yemen, all the way to climate change AND YOU WASTE TIME ON THIS IDI0T. Please don't ask to be taken seriously and please don't ask to check out your sponsors.
