With all the headlines re: Facebook, fake news, racial divisions - do you think that free speech is fundamentally incompatible with democracy? And if not, how do we address “fake” videos / news?

No. Solution is focusing on critical thinking as part of education.

“free speech is fundamentally incompatible with democracy”. Yikes.

Makes sense @D1 - but as technology gets better, I see a point where it might be very difficult to tell truth from lie (ie - fake footage doctored using AI and computer vision imitating real politicians saying and doing things).

@PWC1 - asking for your thoughts! I don’t think they are incompatible, but in a near future they very well may be

Wut

Free speech is free thought. Making someone believe or not believe fake news isn’t a matter of it existing but a matter of making people be able to discern what’s real news and what is not.

People choosing ultra right views based on anecdotal evidence thankfully skews into an older crowd that will slowly go away. Now I do know a few young conservatives, but it seems like they just like to troll and question the left. They have moderate tendencies unlike their older counterparts.

Companies can either act ethically or be forced to do so

There needs to be duties in addition to rights. Rights don’t give you freedom to exercise them without responsibility - duties manages how to exercise rights within a society

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
