> but for what it's worth, my emotional frame towards what she did is gratitude.

Sounds to me like the basic conflict here is the OP holds to expressive individualism of the sort historian Carl Trueman describes in his book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self [0]; while the commenter appears to believe that moral/ethical reality exists external to human persons, thus stealing and being an accessory to theft are wrong, regardless of one's emotional frame.

Thats interesting, are you saying there are serious people who claim that the wrongness of theft depends on the emotional frame (and havent been paid by russia over the last decades with the intention to subvert western society?)

I never happen across works written in Latin. I come across a lot of C code.
andi999 · 3 years ago
Yes. If you use e. g. numerical libraries, and wonder what really does this algo do often you look at C. If you dig too deep then you look at fortran though...

>This exchange is expected to burden the already struggling healthcare system with additional costs of around 400 million euros.

I'm always amazed at the gross inefficiencies of the German bureaucratic machine (including most public and government institutions), despite the traditional world renowned stereotype of "German efficiency", even though at this point I know I shouldn't be surprised anymore.

The CCC is a national treasure.

andi999 · 3 years ago
Isnt the stereotype 'deutsche Gruendlichkeit' which is not efficiancy but thoroughness, which just mean that a few thousand pages need to be filled out, signed and countersigned for the 400 mill order.

It's not even about being right or wrong. The person on the receiving end of the Socratic method can experience irritation and frustration. If you expect them to be collaborative after you engaged them in a time consuming, frustrating experience, you are in for a surprise.

And if you (the questioner) are actually proven wrong after weeks of debate, rest assured you will never get the other person to listen to you. Next time, they'll ask you to "write up a doc" and prove that you know what the hell you are talking about.

andi999 · 3 years ago
Are you ever proven wrong as the questioner. The original method consist of extending the argument so far that at some point some contradiction will show up. Instead of blaming it on the extension then one claims victory and that the original statement was wrong.

I dont think that is true, society can create value from trade and good organization providing more resources to everyone for collectively the same amount of work.

In the sense that the whole is more than the sum of its parts? Of course!

So, put “those people” in the Matrix, so they won’t be a problem instead of addressing the real problem of a lopsided economic system is the answer?
andi999 · 3 years ago
Lopsided economic system is not a problem, it is a feature.
