Yes claude is being dumb/hallucinating. Yes it does exist, there are much larger drives than that produced by the main manufacturers

This is soley a list of how to be explicitly negative internally and externally, the people in this thread equating it to disorders need to re-think the text. Its a list of what not to do as a human.

With respect to all; there is an incredible amount of subtle communications that go into standard conversations

Given the context of the discussion is about lacking social cues, its not possible to know the social setting to give you specific advice.

However, I would suggest considering if the ‘making fun’ is in casual conversation or truly adversary.

In casual conversation of someone making jest about your lack of speaking, just smile and say you are having a good time listening and hanging out.

If they are actually making fun of you, never associate with those people again, they suck

But, being more respectful to you and who i orignally replied to — yes actual revolution could/would be brutal and could/would create a much worse daily life for the non-elites.

Still, as I bet you could agree when not aguing semantics, its inexusable for people to declare we should accept corruption

A few annecdotal voices dont change reality; american conservatism is poisoned, and must be rejected by all sane/moral humans for multiple generations.

Nobody needs to stop VC or speculation. The issue is that society has been structured to subsidize hyper speculation, which current VC landscape is a symptom

Sure I agree and good points. But my view is moreso in the scale of VC operations being a symptom of excess speculation, and society would be better off with stable investments. They are poor stewards of capital, and subsidized by the federal reserve.

Im no expert, but thoughts:

1. Large firms investing in early r&d instead of aquisition.

2. Its a symptom of decades of poor economic policy rewarding speculation, to a scale that impacts society by disencentivizing stable investments that benefit humanity. Main lever causing this is through Federal reserve poor policy since 200

Saying they have ‘conservative values’ is the death blow to conservativism, given their explicit anti-democratic, and fundamentally extremist leadership

Mate, read his quotes or watch on youtube. There is no reason for you to use that as a scapegoat, when there is clearly obvious reasons some may not like him.

Rolfing is just one technique for the highly effective fascia release domain, which is poorly understood by Western health practitioners. I enjoy the MELT method
