After the last half year or so on here, I have met a lot of really talented and very well trained people and a lot of people that have no understanding of what they don't know and no training about the basics of how to categorize the world and present persuasive arguments for your positions.

Now, before you can frame your idea in a way that is really persuasive, you first have to have a good body of knowledge about yoru topic. You don'thave to be an expert but you do have to have an interest. I have recently had to explain to people what is private property, how to think about it and then how to use it to evaluate transactional values. It's not their fault they did not know, I did not fully understand the idea until the last year or so either as I was forced to work my way through figuring out a system for evaluating where I am going to weark a mask and where I am not going to wear a mask.

But, what I do have experience in is persuasion. Technically, everyone has experience in persuasion as it is part of our species genetic makeup, but no one is trained in the persuasion techniques.

The link is an EXCELLENT master class in persuasion. A few points:

  • He is credible because he has mastery of his craft.

  • He is able to summarize the problem and the solution in soundbite.

  • He tells a story with a clear narrative.

  • He tells A VISUAL story. You can see the part about the movie and the part about the kids sitting around a fire in your head.

  • He tells an emotional story.

  • He provides leadership (purpose, direction and motivation) to the group he wants to persuade.

An absolute masterful example of persuasion. This is also an excellent example why Trump is a great sales person but not a great leader. Trump has all of the above skills in spades (more than any person we have ever seen honestly) EXCEPT the first and last points: Trump never had mastery of anything substantial and has no depth to draw upon and he could never provide leadership to his followers in terms of prupose direction and motivation.

Lastly, all of you should be watching jews and learning from them. Their species seems to really lean on female social warfare techniques and if you pay attention you can learn all of their tricks and techniques. They aren't that sophisticated, but they do have a genetic quirk that forces them to overfocus on subject matter and you will see them use the same techniques over and over again.

This is a great video example of the core techniques most sophisticated jews use when speaking with non jews, although they use far more indirection than the clear and purposeful persuasion techniques you see in this video.

I’m not opposed to them at all however if the government tells businesses that they must make their technology easy to repair that’s a clear overstepping of power. I should be able to make technology that’s totally impossible to repair if I choose to and I should have the right to pay my money for that technology if I want.

I had to think about this for a bit, but I am starting to fall into your line of thinking. I was wondering if respect for private property could be extended to corporations or perhaps why not. The whole thing always comes down to is either you are okay with allowing others to tell you what to do with your property or not.

With respect to corporations, this means that:

  • We can allow people to tell corporations what they can do with property they own. If we allow this, then ANYONE can tell corporations what they can do with their property. One year it might be us, the next year it might be communists. Who exactly can tell others what to do with their property and do these people now need a set of laws to control HOW THEY tell others what to do with their property?

This means that if we want to start a company just for white people others will be able to tell us what to do with our property.

  • We simply get out of the way and allow people to do what they want with their own property - we disallow people from being able to tell others what to do with their property. This is simple, people just buy what they want and they select the winner.

This also means that if we want to create a company just for white people others cannot tell us what to do with our property.

I think just making sure that contracts are enforced and that the playing field is level is probably the best that we can do.

I hate that Apple and Microsoft are winners and I hate that the world is not run on Lisp Machines. But, consumers made the choices they made (and the various vendors played unfair and dirty, sure) and the rest of us suffer. We do now have a fully repairable laptop coming to the market, we have one very open phone (pinephone) in the marketplace and the Liberm 5 is starting to ship.

I just don't see how ANYONE can force Apple tell them what to do with their property. No one is forcing people to buy Apple.

Yeah, the fact that iFixit pushes so hard that Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are in favor of 'Right to Repair' is sus.

You have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Beyond that, vote with your dollars. Did you tear your touchID while trying to do a screen swap? Did you break FaceID by not being careful enough? Tough shit, buy an Android next time if you're that hung up about it.

At least, that's how I feel.

You clearly don't understand the issue at hand. It's not about ease of access. It's about any legal access. I don't even want to bother explaining this. It's been like a solid decade since this was a mainstream issue. You should be well versed in it. Go read some articles from the EFF or something. Jesus.

Unbunch your panties. The issues that Louis kept bringing up were a lack of parts and technical diagrams so those were what I also mentioned. If there’s real issues then maybe advocates should mention them instead of bringing up non-issues like Louis or just telling people to “educate themselves” like wannabe SJWs.

There are no reasonable arguments that can be made to force / tell someone what to do with their property. EFF and Stallman can write all they want about the moral and political positions on this, but you cannot square private property rights with any argument against property rights. The GPL exist because of the very principle of property rights.

Either we all have property rights and we all get punished for infringing on property rights or all of us are slaves to those around us.

There is no way around this.

You reeeally don't understand the issue here.
