Yep. It’s crazy how attacking a country causes a massive spike in nationalism. Who ever could have guessed that?

You know that these numbers were copied and pasted from legally required open source reporting from the US military, right?

How does it benefit the US in negotiations to spread disinformation that makes the enemy think we are weaker than we actually are? :dope:


What the IC published is almost certainly the upper limit of what we have available. They wouldn’t undercount the true number. Telling a lie about the number being lower than reality would be certifiably retarded.

While true, this is directly from a report produced by our own military. They have legal mandates to report certain military equipment numbers periodically.

Copying and pasting numbers from those reports doesn’t get thrown away simply because it’s the MSM doing the copying

They’re competing against China for superintelligence. Whoever builds superintelligence first controls the world (or destroys it).

Except that the Reddit poster claims that the “real score” of the odyssey was the 56% attained from the pull system. And the odyssey is decidedly not an old movie.

So that is very clearly not the point the Reddit user was trying to make.

And why is this particular metric being defined as a “true score”?



Alternative hypothesis: everyone who actually watches the movie uses the “push” mechanism, because it’s easiest to respond to a push notification that comes in immediately after watching the movie. Everyone who didn’t watch the movie, but who made up a fake review for the sake of pushing public opinion one direction or the other, has to go through the described “pull” mechanism, where they actively went to create a review without being prompted.

As a result, the 97% displayed on RT is an accurate reflection of the actual movie going audience… the 56% that you claim is the “true score” is actually just the trolls and bot farms leaving fake reviews without ever actually watching it.



Based on what this reddit post describes each metric to be, tell me why my hypothesis/conclusion is inferior to the one offered by the reddit poster.

I would like the free market absolutist’s perspective on this market critique…

Just because markets are good for buyers and sellers, it doesn’t mean they are good for the product… and increasingly, WE are the product.

How out of touch do you have to be to think that TD isn’t vulnerable to paid influence operations? :lol:

There are a couple major flaws in this thinking. Starting with the obvious one, there are a ton of market transactions that don’t impact only the buyer and the seller of the good.


Blue Cross and Toyota might very well both be better off if Toyota sells my driving history to Blue Cross, as it will show them a significant increase in the number of trips I’ve been taking to Crumbl cookies this year (to satiate my wife’s primary pregnancy craving)… but when my premiums increase next year, I’m sure as shite going to wish that there was some restriction on the type of activity we ceded to “free” markets.
