  • A better question is can a dating app be good?

    Around 2010, every tech bro that’s creaming shorts over AI today was trying to figure out how to make money behind the fact that everyone had smartphones. But it turned out, that smartphones can’t solve every problem.

    Dating I would argue, is just one of those things tech made worse. Never mind how often the damn thing fails, think about the conditions where it would function well. A dystopian world where everything is shallow and operating on incel-math.

    And how could it be otherwise? Dating apps are just math people trying to solve for love. This is the plot to a comedy movie, not a business plan.









  • have such strong nuclear opinions but don’t seem to actually know anything about it…

    I would point out that doubt is the appropriate response when one doesn’t have all the facts. You’re not asking people to trust science, you’re asking people to trust in the institutions that were certain people around Chernobyl and Fukushima were totally safe and trust us bro.

    I think you could make a great argument that faith in governments, regulators, and industry to protect public health is the irrational position.

    I’m pro nuke, but you shouldn’t dismiss those who fear nuclear tech as irrational and stupid.
