Yeah, if you actually find someone app usage will drop for at least some people, maybe even most people. The more exclusive some/many folks are the less they’ll open the app. Up to finding someone(s) that fully satisfy them for at least a while, and for that while that user may even be completely off the app. Maybe they even delete it. Certainly they won’t compulsively be using it the same way they are when they are trying to connect.

For many (not all) users, successfully finding connections is detrimental to engagement, advertising, active user stats, etc. The incentives for the company are not geared towards helping users connect, and are geared towards always having users continually trying to connect.

the Julius Caesar of our time—Donald Trump

Biiiiig doubt right off the bat, but I’ll keep reading.

We can’t stop people free-riding, it’s part of our nature, the incurable syndrome… Free riders are among us … if we accept that we all have this ancient flaw… we can design policies around that and change our societies for the better.

Right, ok, I guess that makes sense. How do we fix it then?

Self-knowledge: …appearing trustworthy but being selfish can be more beneficial to the individual. We need to recognise that and make a moral choice about whether we try to use people or to work with them.

Ok, sure, for the less-selfish folks who have the capacity for self-awareness. But the more selfish folks already know this because they are exploiting it.

Education: We must teach people to think ethically for themselves, and to give them the tools to do so.

Hmm, big doubt. We’ve been trying to do this for ages in many societies. Not only has it not been a panacea, the selfish often hijack the education systems themselves.

Policy: Goodman believes that exposing free-riders is more beneficial than punishment… suggesting that journalistic work exposing exploitation can be as effective… as criminal punishment.

Ok, you lost me. Maybe the book is better, but this is garbage. I don’t care about changing behaviour, I want to stop the bleeding. Criminal punishment for the criminally sociopathic! This guy and Susan Collins can keep eachother company…

But hopefully not fishy

They might still get you on skin colour, ethno-linguistic origin of name, left-wing political affiliations, religious affiliations (or lack thereof), type of employment or specific employer, perceived accent, or a boarder agent just having a very bad or a very good day.

Welcome to America where the rules are is made up and the truth doesn’t don’t matter.

Depends on if you’re measuring in Ford Fields or Beaver Stadiums.

But would he put himself in additional danger for the lols? Or because drugs? Or raging narcisism? Let’s be real, E-Mu is confused. Could totally hurt himself in his confusion.

I mean, the current national security advisor doesn’t seem stable enough to handle the decision making either. It’s unsurprising that E-Mu fit in fine with this administration until recently.
