I will never buy anything at Starbucks again. Used to spend like $100/month.
Hope it was worth it.

Meaning speculation. Just because someone is willing to buy Nvidia stock at a $3 trillion valuation doesn’t mean it will someday achieve that kind of tangible value.
That’s like saying being a circle is perfectly compatible with being a square. Liberals are useful idiots at worst.

Any Rand is not considered a philosopher by most scholars. You might as well cite Donald Trump.
Rape isn’t an edge case. 26,000 rape victims have been forced to give birth in Texas in just 2 years (Source).
In total, the study estimates that 519,981 rapes occurred in those 14 states and 64,565 of them resulted in pregnancy. Researchers further estimated that 9% of those pregnancies occurred in states with legal exceptions for rape, while 91% of them occurred in states with no exceptions.
Texas, a state which has no exceptions for rape or incest, was at the top of the list with an estimated 26,313 rape-related pregnancies, over four times more than the next closest state, Missouri, at 5,825.
No. Philosophically, abortion is a litmus test for libertarianism, where bodily autonomy reigns supreme. The idea that a government can force you to give birth is logically incoherent.
Again, even if you believed that a fetus is an actual person, that person cannot live in someone else’s body against their will. Libertarian philosophers would find that utterly preposterous.
Unshockingly, yet another person claiming to be a libertarian is actually the exact opposite. Imagine if when people lied they got struck dead by lightning. Bam, every political problem the world has ever known is fixed almost overnight.

Legality has never and (sadly) will never have anything to do with justice and fairness.
That said, if you’re right, then the AI company should be out a few billion as punishment. Instead our library privileges have been curtailed, as though we are the ones to blame for shithole AI companies. Luckily, books are very easy to torrent (and everybody should do so), but still.
