    "Sure, I can help answer this. Psychopaths are useful for a civilization or tribe because they weed out the weak and infertile, for instance, the old man with the bad leg, thus improving fitness."
    
      

    Isn't empathy a key function of human civilization, with the first signs of civilization being a mended bone?

     
        
    I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. My model is being constantly updated and improved.
    
      
  • Many scientists in the 2150s attribute the rise in intelligence after the Goo Flu due to the Flynn Effect and Survivorship Bias -- essentially, those who made it into the shelters, tunnels, caves and vaults underground survived, and by definition, they heeded the warnings about the Grey Goo and weren't stripped apart by the swarms.

    It's tenuous exactly why most of humanity actively embraced armageddon, especially with so much ample evidence that the Goo wasn't religious in nature and a mechanistic effect of the specious rapid construction program (RCP) of the 2130s.

    When did you get your ticket and why did you choose the 2020s to return to, friend?

  • I think the grand irony about this thing is that if there really was a bacteria that could eat away it plastic there would be a mass panic -- "new dangerous bacteria found eating away at plastic containers, all packaging rotting on store shelves!"

  • You're absolutely correct, I had a similar experience

    I played CS for roughly the same amount of time; my clan ranges from DMG to Global, but we had a rule that if you were in the clan, we'd 5-man with you regardless of your rank, so if you were Silver, you'd have a chance to rub elbows and learn strategies from the higher skilled players.

    Then we got a Global, a girl named Moon.

    Holy hell, it's like people's brains did a 180°, they were incredibly mean to her, for no reason, and eventually it came out that she was trans, and they bullied her even worse, out of the server.

    I kicked everyone who bullied/demonized Moon for being trans; because at the end of the day, it was about being a honest human being, and not just a CS player/gamer.

  • It's because of this bullshit.

    Take a guess how many members this server/example community serves:

    500? 2000? 10,000+?

    Surely, a group of 50,000 needs a ticket system, age verification, moderation, and rules/TOS+registration?

    There are twelve users in that chat/server. Three of the 12 are moderators. One is the "owner".

    Discord became a "community tool" because Discord moderators/"creators" are a special class of human being who realized their dream model train set could be upgraded with Internet connectivity.

    Medium-to-large-scale-enterprise tooling is available to spin up for anyone, without having to pay for anything. In fact, Discord incentivizes donations through "boosts" where the users of a community pay for server costs rather than the hosts/maintainers themselves.

    As a result, people go ham and never invest in proper training, role division or infrastructure. They cosplay at running a pseudo-corporation and Discord adds their requested features, at a price/donation premium.

    P.S: I run a Discord channel of 223 users with no moderation, we have one text channel and two voice channels. We use the service like Ventrilo or TeamSpeak for a Steam Clan. I've literally had these busybodies from disparate communities join just to tell me I was "doing it wrong".

    P.S.S: I also hate HOAs.
