Sounds like you don't really care about climate change and are just using it as an excuse to push unrelated socialist policies

The Case for Regime Change in Iran, and How Not to Screw It Up The Hegelian Hammer, and why Iraq was different

We should overthrow Iran.

It's a brutal regime, with an educated and pro-Western population.

The rule that "every dictator gets to stay forever" is completely morally unacceptable. But it doesn't mean we should rush in everywhere.

Here it makes sense. www.richardhanania.com/p/the-right-...

What do LLMs see?

I wrote a lil' tool that extracts the attention matrices out of open models and creates this typing visual, with each token's opacity changing according to its average attention score as the prompt progresses. Dimmer words are considered less important to the model.

meaning they are low priority coalition partners for other would-be leaders. This serves as a general explanation of why low-human capital voters tend to rally around populist demagoguesβ€”they are low priority coalition partners for everyone else and have few options for entering a winning coalition.

The reason for this relationship is that as W/S shrinks, the likelihood of exclusion from future winning coalitions increases, which drives loyalty to the current leader. Trump's base has low affinity with both the Democrats and the GOP establishment,

Loyalty to Trump by his core base of supporters makes perfect sense under Selectorate Theory. On the surface, it seems contradictory, since they are a fairly large proportion of the selectorate and generally loyalty to the leader increases as W(winning coalition size)/S(selectorate size) shrinks.

You can get moral snapshots of the past too! By training models on text before a certain period. Or even just fine-tuning
