    :a-little-trolling: Squares are terrible and everybody's saying it, folks. They're weak, they're ineffective, and they cause tremendous suffering.

          All polygons can be triangulated and any arbitrary bounded and non-disjoint figure can be triangulated to whatever degree of accuracy you wish with a strictly finite number of triangles.

          🔺️👑

          Also, hexagons are cubes seen with a vertex pointed at you. And cubes are merely 6 squares. And squares are evil.

            Triangles are too pointy to make stable molecules---the sharp angle produces ring strain. Even nature thinks triangles are weak.

        Triangles are my favorite shape

        Three points where two lines meet

        Toe to toe, back to back, let's go

        My love, it's very late

        'Til morning comes

        Let's tessellate

    I used to like this guy a lot back in 2015, and I think he’s got a good heart but just swimming in ideology. He wants to imagine himself perfect rational and robotic and ignores a lot of ideological assumptions, but I think he does just want to improve things

      He's got a lot of interesting stuff, and then one video where he is clearly controlling a Tesla despite claiming it's on autopilot.

        and the one where he compares the popularity of Buckingham Palace and Versailles by only looking at American tourists

          Ah yes, the one where he comes out as pro-monarchy for purely fiscal reasons.

    You all complain about the Civilization games, but they use hexagons.

        War game

        You mean like a military exercise with real soldiers and sophisticated computer simulations?

        Literally a board game with dice

        Oh.

        I unironically want to play this wargame.

        Also, fuckin' lol think tanks really earning their money by playing boardgames.

          Yeah I think it might be fun to play, just don’t think articles should be written about the outcome and taken seriously

          Absolute elite grift. Getting paid big consultancy bucks to play board games all day and have your journalist friends come over and write about how good the game is 👍

        It’s the same ghoulishness behind “all year school” plans where there’s no summer vacation, only tiny breaks.

        I did this when I was younger, you get three month-long breaks, and I thought it was fucking awesome.

      It's a shit idea for most people, but for his line of work I can see where it might be helpful. I think he was kind of blind to the fact that his work is pretty different from most people.

      Surely he meant Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday after moving to a four-day work week.
