I’m not saying all schizophrenics are prone to be Nazis, don’t put words in my mouth. I’m well aware of what the Nazis did.
I’m saying that West’s schizophrenia is likely making him prone to Nazi sympathies, evidenced by his apparent lack of those sympathies when he is on his meds. In his case these two are very strongly correlated. Schizophrenia is a very complex mental disease that manifests differently in different people. We don’t know exactly what goes on in his head, but we know he isn’t sound of mind. Hitler is theorized to have had a form of paranoid schizophrenia too. West specifically seems to believe that black people are “the real jews” and that Hitler was therefore right to kill the “imposters” or something stupid. The reasoning he presents does fit with paranoid schizophrenia.
To be clear, schizophrenia is a disease that we know how to manage, and most schizophrenics do so just fine. West in particular is an idiot for not taking his meds. And of course his diagnosis doesn’t absolve him from the responsibility of his actions. But they are clearly related in his case.
He is also egotistical and seems to have some kind of messiah-complex. That does appear to just be him being a piece of shit.

Oh no it is. West has iirc quite severe schizophrenia, and he’s not taking his meds for them due to paranoia (the meds are “stifling his creativity” you know).
He wasn’t a Nazi before. Since he’s off his meds, he turned total Nazi. And iirc in the brief time where he started taking his meds again he apologised for some of the Nazi stuff. And now he’s off them again so it’s Nazi o’ clock.
Seems very causally related tbh.

He has genuine and severe mental illnesses. He’s off his meds at the moment due to his paranoia about them.
It’s incredibly clear when he’s off his meds, as when he’s on them he turns a lot more reasonable and not Nazi at all.

If you copy everyone else you’re not going to be profiting much, as your product isn’t competitive. You have to keep iterating on an idea to stay ahead of the competition.
IP law lets companies stop innovating after they’ve come up with a product, because other companies cannot directly compete using the same or a similar design.
Did Android phones stop innovating because Apple did a smartphone first?

There are only 3.5 billion jobs worldwide. A good amount of those work for the government, in the army, in the public sector, etc…
I’d be surprised if it manages to get above a billion to be honest. Remember that copyright is a fairly recent invention.

How about requiring IPs to belong to a specific person, with a set expiry of say 10 years? Corporations wouldn’t be able to own IP, only pay for the rights (for the first 10 years).

Webrips mate.

The default settings look pretty bad, but with some setting changes you can get it to look a lot better without sacrificing too much performance.
It’s not really the type of game that has to run at a solid 60 FPS or anything.

Honestly I find Intel’s to be a bit more confusing. Still, what my CPU is called exactly bothers me fairly little now that it’s in my PC.

Glad I went with AMD this time round.
