Moved to mastodon.social! @TetraspaceGrouping@schelling.pt

few of the policies on this list of "obvious slam-dunk policies that even my enemies would agree with on the merits" are also "policies that would create the best world I can think of along this axis if I had a magic wand". The author must be racist

A Tetraspace visits Tetratopia and is utterly baffled by the lack of ostentatious beauty.

"This doesn't make sense! Your brains shouldn't let you decide not to, because your brains evolved!"

But the Tetratopian, equally, is baffled by the Tetraspaces constantly aiming a gating gun at their feet.

And also staring at the Tetraspace, at some point they will have to inform it that it's gotta be defecting from an equilibrium SOMEHOW but maybe later because 👀

schelling.pt would never bind me to showing posts in an arbitrary non-chronological order

*catches the comet in my mouth*

The effect of voting is to shift polices half a voter on average from the median in your direction, and that's a real positive impact. It doesn't make all of your favourite policies come true (which can feel like it not working) because a bunch of other voters genuinely don't like your policies, which is obviously mistaken/terrible of them but it is what it is

One way small donors can easily beat billionaires on marginal utility is that Open Philanthropy splits its donations across many fields, but as a small donor you can just focus on the single most impactful one

🤔 I wonder if there's mastodon tumblr, character limits are silly and just stolen to be like Twitter imo, macroblogging that's also social media feels more like what I want from the internet

and if so is there some way I can move there and still have it interoperate with shelling.pt so I can talk to my friends there too

*causally gets some fraction** of you to join shelling.pt on mastodon by showing you this tweet*

** as in Everett branches of individuals

*acausally gets you to join mastdon by tweeting there, so the part of my algorithm that chooses where to tweet outputs mastodon, so the similar part of your algorithm has a similar output*

Wow! That's so fungus of you
