All right.

Question, what are your thoughts on the morality of gambling and making money from gamblers?

It doesn't seem to violate UPP or the non-aggression

principle. But to me it's always seemed scummy and manipulative. Instead of providing any

value, these businesses make money off of dumb people's inability to discern

probabilities. Well, to say that all gamblers are dumb, that gambling is a tax

on mathematical illiteracy I think is I mean

obviously true to some degree but it is missing the central point sorry to be

annoying right at the beginning you've missed the central point let me make the

case and you know maybe I'm right maybe I'm wrong.

So UPP is there are five categories right two of which are mirrors of the other

so think of them as good nice neutral bad and evil right good nice

neutral bad and evil right so the good mirrors the evil, the nice mirrors the bad, and

neutral doesn't mirror because, you know, zero is not the opposite of any number, right? So good is, say, respecting property rights,

evil is stealing, killing, raping, you know, violations of persons and property. So that's

good versus evil. Nice versus bad. It's nice to be on time. It's bad to be late.
