Surely, you can't blame the organism for seeking food. So clearly you can't blame an organization built to pursue profit to pursue profit. Maybe we should cut-out the middle-man and use efficiency evaluation methods defined by our common understanding of ethics and virtues instead of currency to determine the relative importance of continual investment in particular structural capabilities that companies provide to a nation. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1828 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── people usually pet animals either too hard, or too soft. When you get to know them, animals tend to respond to affection most accurately when it corresponds to something they know how to measure, within the most acceptable tolerances. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1829 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── why would you NOT admit weakness? It's a tactical error! You have less accurate information! It literally makes your team worse off! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1830 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── dear disney: please license Mechabellum and use Star Wars assets. Or Starship Troopers. Or Warhammer 40k. if you license it, it's okay to share software. Especially if you make it free and open source, as a compromise to both parties.

Hence why a well funded military (like the US military) can afford to not be efficient. Which is... not ideal, for long-term cooperation. Much better for short-term competition, though, too bad we all get to live on this earth. Wild, ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1832 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── cheese is just a body-part that a cow has willingly shed. For nutrition. Is it vegetarian if it's the cells produced by a body? Is it vegan if it is capable of growing back? Do snakes shed their selves when they leave behind a shell? Or is it like hair, just... keratin, a compound found all over nature. Is cutting a branch vegan? Is eating a cherry that has fallen to the center of the road? Both those are made of fibrous materials, the nutritious bounteous feast, and a small kernel-like mass that serves as a propagation method for a creature utterly vast. (But factory farms, remember?) (Oh yeah! Thank goodness for reform.) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
