This remind me that Chesterton in his book Orthodoxy said that if Nietzsche was really an egoist, he would not be preaching it.


Wow, you win HN for today.


>you can force people to marry, but you can't make them care about each other

That's incorrect. Arranged marriages are forced in some sense, but people do come around to care. Put a man and woman together in captivity and they start caring for each other. That's how human nature is.

And regarding the gunpoint thing, there's something called Bride kidnapping in central asia. Ofcourse those brides cry for first few days or so, but eventually settle in, with equal or probably more happiness than the women of the so called free world.


a.k.a the tinder jesters. I think it takes loosing a big dump of self esteem to "compete" for attention in this way.


It's legal if you have the will. Most men don't want to meet prostitute. I think they have the desire to be desired, for what they are, and not for their wallet.


keep in mind that jeffery epstein's death news was first broken on 4chan before MSM picked it up.

>4chan is not just an image board, but an intelligence service too.

Let's not go too far, Pizzagate and QAnon started on 4chan as well. Calling it an "intelligence service" implies a degree of agency or purpose that 4chan doesn't have, or even care about.


Blacks make up 13% of U.S population but 74.4% of NBA, and 30% of Hollywood. Is that meritocracy or priviledge?


Don't know about Hollywood but NBA is both. Meritocracy selecting privileged genes.


It is India's internal matter. Let India deal with it.


The sinhalese people of Sri Lanka are Indo-European, not dravidian. IIRC they came from Modern day Bengal.


But Sinhalese culture,food etc is closer to Dravidian.


yep. Me too. In my case, my bank was unable to process that amount of payment so they eventually had to strike it off my bill.


> They make more than enough money by providing the Internet service

So you are going to decide whether they are making enough money? Don't like tracking? Switch over to a privacy respecting ISP.


It's obvious greed. There is no need to violate people's privacy for the ISP. Which you yourself point out. They don't do it out of need, but because they can.


> Switch over to a privacy respecting ISP.

As if this was a readily available option.
