fuck the police general

just use the real numbers. just use the integers, if you want. thats fine too. the specific utilities are only there to make it easier to reason about, it works just as well if you give each person a preference ordering over the n^2 outcomes.

That's because I cited tons of data and multiple academic papers, then your only response has been "He knows nothing!"

Provide data showing I'm not right. Statistical aggregates of HFs in general, not a cherry-picked few

If you read the way he wrote the math, this is clearly not true

Just understand that it's fucking annoying to have some dumbass like you, lbj show up in an ewiz-argues-about-everything thread and post "haha this guy needs to read more wikipedia articles"

You aren't personally qualified to make those determinations and it's fine to not be personally qualified or to form your own conclusions but to show up in the thread to dogpile and reinforce the other guy's dunning kruger is obnoxious

no u w/ hbotz

Nah, you can talk about it with regards to skill without anything personal. Because that just requires you to show me when I've been wrong about math

also what you linked is basically saying that everyone defecting is not a nash equilibrium because everyone starves to death. which is true. but in the chart he made me defecting, "everyone else" cooperating is a nash equilibrium since youve tacitly forced everyone else to play the same strategy.

actually, ewiz doesnt understand game theory, or at least cant apply it in a reasonable way. but its difficult for me to convince other people of that, so its troublesome.

Lol you fucking dumbass, this is you. Someone provides a counter argument with substance, and you just refuse to respond

i mean to be clear this is exactly how i've felt with u backing up 90% of anything hbotz has said that you've backed up

i mean he brings up "well-ordering" of utilities when i just wrote R^n. the best way i can interpret it is that he is trying to score points by demonstrating some fancy but irrelevant properties about real numbers

get outta here

Additionally if you actually read anything about the topic - you would quickly understand what I am saying, as it's fairly intuitive, and see that he was talking out his ass

At risk of sounding like I am saying "read a book."

But basically even the minimal-est of effort at actual understanding makes things pretty straightforward so it's incredibly dumb that you can sit there and be like "wow with my surface level effort this doesn't appear right!"

You're exactly the person you've been accusing hbotz of being.

asoul barely ever backs me up. mostly just on ideological ideas like "violence bad". i think we actually disagree on quite some things

no u

I agree that Ewiz tends to debate in a way that overwhelms/shuts down the person he's debating rather than trying to reach a common conclusion together, but the guy is obviously well-read

Lmao you don't have to cite experience. Just provide actual counter arguments on qualitative topics and contradictory data on quantitative topics. You don't do either

im not hbotz because he's the one politely typing up heaps of pseud bullshit and im the one dismissing it out of hand without engaging, which is not something he tends to do

accusing me of being hbotz in this situation is simplifying it to the point of meaningless

If you take any topic you are decently knowledgeable on and talk to him about it it becomes clear that well read != actually understanding the content

It's in the same vein as him posting for years "You did X! You manipulated X! I was there" at me until I finally post the logs and he's just like Oh... I was drunk. I didn't remember that part.

Some people just have brain issues.

First, comfortable in a space doesn't mean you understand it better. Just that you're comfortable with your level of misunderstanding.

Second, on the topic of capitalism and reformism, you're clearly not comfortable and a complete dumbass. On game theory, philosophy, mathematics in general, and anything else under the sun, hbotz demonstrates every time he's one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive
