Respectfully I think a point that is often missed with your mindset is how your capital is giving you your voting power. Market Socialist policy aims to even out that exact voting power and more labor focused socialism does the same without market forces. The issue is the hoard and the power that hoard is giving individuals (and firms) over us.

I’m in a similar position to you and I can see many of these policies would hurt me directly, but can also see the historical patterns and current material conditions. We need to build a future for everyone, everyone who agrees with that is a socialist if you argue with them long enough

Expert systems are a series of if statements by definition, a rule engine. I was going off of “a network of ifs” but I get what you mean.

In computer science (at least before hype took over) this is actually a type of machine learning called an expert system.

There is no “eventually” regarding climate, the time for civility was decades ago and we’re out of time. Remember oil companies have their own research divisions and knew all of this before the public, it is a crime against humanity and the public has to hold them accountable somehow.

Republicans are arguing it’s semantics, decent folk are arguing that those kids exist no matter what and must be protected.
