Pragmatarian Discussion Thread

[Lord Dominator]

Let's be fair, this thread is just an extension of the general line of discussion Xero has pursued throughout his entire time on NS.

So really, he's fought for six straight years against everyone.

Honestly speaking, it has been the same thread, over and over again. All that changes are the subjects, but ever since he started posting, it's been about this idea. Quite the fixation. This is but the latest incarnation, and the batshit-est one yet because instead of keeping it in NSG, it has spilled toxic waste into Technical, and Moderation even.

He should have given up a long time ago. Or as soon as the mods told him that no, his idea is not something that interests the site. Not once, or twice, but multiple times. The truth is he got his answer a long time ago. He just doesn't like it because it proves his take is shit but eh. Some people don't go down easily, not even when they have been proven wrong. A fucking hydra of a thread.

And given the thread title, this is the new TET or MAGAthread in the making

Well, I'd say it's more similar to the MAGAthread. Honestly, I'd respect him more if he owned up to the fact that his premise has been refuted over and over again, and proven wrong. But this refusal to accept is... well, it's rather pathetic.

Probably true, and I'd agree with that sentiment

If you spend 1,000 posts defending something, backing down makes you seem silly as well.

So it's defending the indefensible. But hey, that is not a crime so whatever. There will be more threads on the same subject after this one, I know it.

It doesn't though. I respect people who can admit when they were wrong. I think most people do.

All Xero is proving by continuing this farce is that the Sunk Cost Fallacy doesn't just apply to money.

[Salandriagado]

Not to mention totally outside the scope of their powers.

Here are numerous prominent economists, including three Nobel laureates, explaining to the Supreme Court that free-riding is a real problem. If it is in the power of the Supreme Court to ignore their input and abolish compulsory dues, then it was also in their power to leave compulsory dues alone but give employees the freedom to earmark them.

We've already handily demonstrated that your system does precisely fuck all to stop free-riding.

[Salandriagado]

No, they don't have to, you on the other hand do. The claim is yours and you've made a deal out of this expert testimony, so it's yours to provide, not there's.

My opponents claim that sometimes BV is better than DV at ranking things. Why, exactly, do they not have to support their claim with expert testimony? You already acknowledged that doing so isn't difficult.

Because we have actual evidence, rather than appeals to authority.

I think Xero just gave up fellas.

He can't very well just give up and start a new thread this time. This is the pragmatarian discussion thread. If he wants to continue discussing his theory on NS it has to be here.

[Frieden-und Freudenland]

If I am not mistaken, Xero wasn't around when the entire NS was swept by this card-trading frenzy in the first week of April.

Can't imagine how things will play out when (or if???) the cards come back.

Prepare to see threads started by Xero where he asks us to rate cards by increasing our bids for them or something.

He was. Talked in his moderation thread about how he wouldn't have DV'd for them.

Oh, wait! Do I understand you correctly? Did he actually - sort of - acknowledge that DV was useless, by refusing to use it in the card-trading game?

Well I mean, I'm pretty sure he mentioned it in the sense "It was a pleasant thing but not enough I'd DV for it". Y'know, to be fair.

Oh yeah, he did speak of the cards.

Oh, ok. That's consistent, I guess.

[Twilight Imperium]

He'll also go away if we stop enabling him, you know.

Unlikely.

Some members have more cards than money, while others have more money than cards. Why would anybody oppose trading money for cards?

Why would anyone ignore simple, relevant questions about an email exchange?

Because some of us like playing a game where the only possible advantage is how much you dislike sleep?

There is a widespread demand for a fair game among gamers. We tend to hate and despise games that are "pay to win" because we view it as inherently unfair. Games viewed as unfair are generally not fun to play, and therefore, not demanded.

[Herador]

Wait, NS had a card game?

NS has two card games weirdly. Everyone just sort of forgot one of them.
