I tried this game because of the post. It's awesome. I love Civilization games and city building games, and Risk/Catan and this game feels like a really cool take on all of those in a way. How much will it be once the demo period ends?

ChatGPT wouldn’t answer this so OP posted it here.
Yes, in practice this would be resisted, although resistance to withdrawals essentially means the bank run was consummated

I used to be very, very against throwing out old books. But I was doing some cleaning the other day and found an Oprah cookbook and I threw it out. I think that’s the only book I ever will throw out

You are spreading propaganda and delete your opinions when it is challenged. This is closer to nazism than anything advocated for in the article.

This is more interesting than your comment alleging that the post is promoting nazism.

This article says that eugenics is still very much practices, albeit in inconsistent ways.

1st way to delete your OG comment.
2nd you are still ignoring the premise. The premise is that we are all eugenicists in inconsistent ways.
3rd, this is not about cultural taboos surrounding incest, it is about the genetic effect of incest, which is very often birth defects.
4th This is an apology of eugenics and not Nazism. this article is ultimately making a humanist argument for eugenics by arguing that it is basically mainstream medicine, especially in terms of abortion.
5th please read the entire article. I didn't even write it, I just think it's interesting. You seem to want people to to dismiss it because it appears to you an apology of Nazism. It is very clearly not.

The premise of this article is not that it is ok to be a nazi.
The premise is that "we are all eugenicists—but in selective, inconsistent, and often hypocritical ways."
To quote the article, so people don't read this comment and completely dismiss what the article was getting at.
"When someone says that screening embryos for genetic diseases, giving educated women incentives to have children (like free child care for college educated women), or offering subsidized abortions for women addicted to drugs is "eugenics" they are absolutely using the term correctly."
The overarching message of this article is that it is not Nazism to get an abortion because the fetus will be born with painful lifelong disabilities. In fact, most progressives would argue that should be the woman's right to get an abortion in this situation.
Likewise, it is not Nazism to ban incest because it increases the likelihood of cognitive disorder (in offspring).
Did you just read the title and maybe the first two paragraphs and comment?

Peak philosophy, the dichotomy between moral dichotomies and moral not-dichotomies

The concept of moral principals presupposes a binary morality (principle vs no principles). If you deny binary morality (principles) there needs to be no compromise.

Reply to Brave New World question- what is the significance and what is the gesture? by goppeldanger
I agree with the commenter that the gesture is the "reverse V sign" or a middle finger-like gesture to the heavens, which Huxley describes as containing [infinite] mystery.
The significance of the gesture being that the lights and buildings represent the technology/scientific and industrial progress, which was prompted by mankind's desire to understand the mysterious universe. The product of that desire and skepticism is "developed" society [the gesture], in the book, now used to sedate man from mystery and discovery and skepticism. (imo)
