  • It’s not like someone can just pop out 100 children to skew votes

    On an individual basis sure, but this still poses two problems:

    1. Is there a group of people that typically vote a certain who are prone to having more children than other groups. Due to different cultures, this is likely true.
    2. Why should parents of children get an extra vote over those who can’t have children? Personally I feel that having had children should bear no influence on the power of your voice.







  • I’m interested in how this is going to affect the graphics design industry. They already have to deal with people trying to get them to do stuff for free and it looks like now AI can do just that remarkably well!

    Interesting stuff!

    … Until the graphics design industry is wiped out and the owners of AI can just charge the same as before but all the money funnels to some rich guy instead of multiple people trying to earn a living.

    I guess in that scenario we’ll just all become more socialist, tax the rich more, and fund people trying to live their lives, right? Right?




  • Whilst I don’t want to argue about whether the appreciation of people in your life should be encouraged by a celebration day, I would like to point out that holidays aren’t specific to appreciating people . They can also be for appreciating things , such as natural phenomenon.

    Personally I’d prefer winter and summer type celebrations on the equinox and solstice than Christmas and a seemingly random (in my country) public holiday at a point in the summer where it isn’t that warm anymore.
