Not sure what the move is here in Michigan in a couple days. Bernie Sanders is my dream candidate. But not an option obviously, so what is the best use of my vote in terms of Game Theory here? Do I vote someone other than Trump on the Republican side of the ticket to make his efforts more difficult? Or vote Uncommitted or another Democrat to communicate my want for a younger / further left leaning president? Or do I just get in line and vote Biden. Someone who I think has done a good job, but not gone far enough. I want someone younger that can connect with my issues, and do even more for the working / middle class. Someone that is younger that will understand younger issues like internet privacy and data protection.
Whatcha think lemmy?
Suuuuuper interesting line of reasoning. I think this opens other questions that can help to clarify and better understand where some of the great filters live. We got to space travel and radio communications with the conditions and resources available to us here on Earth. I've heard scientists speculate as to whether life could develop on cold worlds in oceans of methane, but never heard about what sorts of technologies could be possible on drastically different planets. Maybe life could develop in a very different way but technologies hitting some real ceilings depending on what's available. We see even here on Earth, animals with fantastic intelligence such as dolphins that A) never had an evolutionary pressure to develop tool building extremities and B) didn't have the same access to naturally transformable resources as we did. Understanding where these technological ceilings are based on the resources available on a planet could really inform how many other space capable civilizations are out there. Or at the very least, help us to specify how some of these great filters are arranged.
