The point is that we can’t disprove a negative. It’s on you and everyone who agrees with you to provide evidence of the fabrication. Otherwise I can also just say “no they wouldnt” and that has the same evidentiary validity as your argument.

I find it funny how the Chinese use the same logical throughlines to come to different conclusions to liberals. Instead of saying that people shouldn’t be able to live comfortably in every job, because then people would just do the easy Jobs, the Chinese say that people should be able to live comfortably in all jobs so that people will do them. I also saw one person on 小红书 using the “feed a man a fish” quote, not to argue for taking welfare away, but for actually giving people jobs.

Maybe, but my main issue is that it doesn’t change anything. Let’s say we assume that we are in a simulation…what now? If you had 100% irrefutable proof of it, what would we do? And if you can’t convince others, what would change on an individual level? I still feel pain and love and sadness, so it’s kinda pointless, i feel anyway.

Honestly I just can’t buy it because of the price. Honestly I like the concepts but I think the civ swapping mechanics need to be critically thought about much better. Because I like the idea but every game that has tried always falters. Unsure if it’s poor execution or if the concept is doomed to fail.

Also I am begging the Devs to make Sun Yat-sen a leader at some point. Please, thats the closest acceptable thing to modern China we can get. Cmon you’ve got come Wu Zetian you can do Sun, pleeeeaaasssee Firaxis

It’s the article I’m replying too here. (Also the top comment has a link to a site the writer has made which tracks it over time)

The actual unemployment rate being nearly 24% makes me actually nauseous
