Side question, why are you writing that symbol instead of 'th'?

I know that's not exactly what you're looking for, but imo not getting recommendations from YouTube's algorithm at all might be better. Why? From the Cambridge analytica scandal we have proof that these algorithms have the capability to manipulate people's ideologies without their consent. I think your algorithm basically personalizes an indoctrination strategy. The idea is not new, it has been talked about in the famous book 'Manufacturing consent'.

Let's say, they don't have a grand political plan behind their algorithm, but even then, the algorithm is just optimizing your feed for maximum engagement rather than intellectual nourishment. They just want you to watch more and more. And not spend much time to stop, think and reflect.

As for recommendations, you can get them organically from your close friends (they'd def be happy to send you a bunch lol) or from lemmy communities (like the documentaries ones)

I think they mainly fear that if they pardoned him, it will create a knock on effect leading to even more whistleblowers. People who were on the fence about becoming whistleblowers would see that the repercussions aren't that severe anymore and hence might take that step.

Thank you for the well meaning comment friend

Absolutely beautiful

Yes! I love it. It definitely adds to the kintsugi-ish(?) vibe of it

I hope this gains traction. We don't need faster scientific advancement at the expense of principles. It'll be a net negative if we did that.

Thanks for the thoughtful and elaborate response. I hadn't heard such a critique on 80k hours before, though I still think their resources on problem profiles and existential risk analysis are quite useful.

I don't think they're mutually exclusive

Uncle Iroh's quotes always give me goosebumps man

I had the same issue, and was looking for a solution. Funny thing is that I wasn't able to see this comment either because it's marked as English. Maybe it would be useful for others facing the same issue if you could edit the comment and mark the language as 'Undetermined'

How was work there? Why'd you leave?

Agreed! Though as a sidenote 'personal carbon footprint' is also fossil fuel propaganda in a way (not implying we shouldn't be conscious about our carbon impact)

Yes, I checked that too. Liked it a lot. The idea really well articulated.

I've also used Tuta. Just gonna point out that some shopping sites didn't accept my Tuta email. I haven't used it with financial stuff tho so can't comment on that.

Did you check it out, by any chance?

Thanks for the idea bro. I had never considered filtering news. I didn't think news would get to my head, but clearly it did.

Appreciating the little things is definitely underrated. Thanks for the comment my dragon friend.

It's an old post, but still thought I'd comment and ask if you're planning on Sacrificing this year or not?
