Wasn't this guy one of those "zizian" nutjobs?

Ziz believes there are two kinds of core, "good" and "nongood". "Nongood" cores are the most common (about 95% of the population). A "nongood" core is one that only grants full agency when dealing with issues of self survival or protecting offspring. This is enforced by a filter that only unlocks full agency when it detects those objects in a situation. Sometimes this filter breaks, producing a "good" core. Because people have two cores, there are three basic alignments: "nongood", "single good", and "double good". "Single good" is about 5% of the population, having one broken core which allows limited altruistic agency. Ziz seems to believe the probability of cores breaking is independent. That means the "double good" alignment only occurs in one fourth of one percent of people. This is important because double goods are the only people who can have full altruistic agency in Ziz's worldview. In this model "core" cannot be changed and you're stuck with the morality you have. This is important to consider in later sections where we talk about what Ziz tells people about their cores.

Fair enough. I was considering France and England, too. What are your thoughts on those?

I appreciate your input, but honestly, coming from Brazil, even with those cons I can't help but wish those were my problems...

As a masters candidate I am actively looking for options in Europe in the finance field, and Germany would be my prefered country to live in. But it's hard for them to compete with ETH Zurich and Ecole Polytechnique which both have better prestige, student reviews and are close by, not even mentioning Imperial and Oxford which are great too. I was looking into TU Munich and got scared by all the negativity from students in the Reddit sub

Idk, to me Kagi stood out by being US-based, non-environmental and for profit. It's just true that it fills all the boxes

Forgot about BGG! That one is amazing, too

I just stumble upon them using Kagi search and phind.com

Breaded, deep fried cheese. It's just fat on fat on fat, and for some reason it's spammed in every burger where I live

Yeah, "EU" solutions to security just seem so naive. Do we really expect a German national to put their country's security on the line if need be? Long term, what would prevent French, German, Spanish, whatever exceptionalism from rising and infecting EU leadership?

Europe is not a country and historically the internal cooperation we see today is the extreme exception. Any of the countries could flip at any time for a multitude of reasons, and then what? France just dominates?

Is it, though? You aren't contributing anything to the local economy or culture while simultaneously stimulating gentrification...

Idk, I'm on lemm.ee because I tried sh.itjust.works and just never got an email. It is frustrating when it happens
