    He thought he was some kind of destined hero or manifestation of Germany’s rage at being cheated after WWI. I’m not defending what he did I’m using him as an example of how even the most vile people who’ve ever lived don’t consider themselves evil or the villains.

    If thats true im sure he felt it was the right thing to do, and he was justified in doing it…

    The burden of proof is on you to prove that claim, and to prove he didnt think he was doing good with his actions which seems to be the historical consensus and is well supported from tons of primary sources. Hitler thought he was doing good.

    I know you’re memeing but imma sperg a bit here regardless

    Disclosure: I used claude to find this summary and sources because i’m not going to put a massive effort into this besides skimming some sources. Hitler believing he wasnt good, right, and justified in his actions is kind of nuts if you know anything about him and his personality.

    The wartime psychological profile (Langer Report, OSS, 1943): US intelligence commissioned a psychological analysis of Hitler during the war itself. It concluded that a survey of all the evidence forces the conclusion that Hitler believed himself destined to become an immortal figure, chosen by God to be the deliverer of Germany and founder of a new social order for the world — a conviction he firmly held, and that this conviction wasn’t rooted in the truth of the ideas he promoted but in his own sense of personal greatness. This is a primary historical document, not modern speculation — it’s held at the Jewish Virtual Library archive if you want to read the original analysis.

    Self described aryan jesus i guess

    He believed he was righteous and was working to redeem a disgraced Germany

    Aber ich brauche sie nicht, um mir von ihnen meine geschichtiche Groesse bestaltigen zu lassen." (717)

    And to Strasser, who once took the liberty of saying that we was afraid Hitler was mistaken, he said:

    “I cannot be mistaken. What I do and say is historical.” (378)

    many other such personal statements could be given. Oechaner has summed up his attitude in this respect very well in the following words:

    “He feels that no one in German history is equipped as he is to bring the Germans to the position of supremacy which all German statesman have felt they deserved but were unable to achieve.” (669)





  • Well it is selection bias and you anecdotally see it a lot… “I got banned from X” or “I got banned from Y”. Plus as I mentioned the 90% of users who are lurkers dont get banned. Its the people who comment or post, which means you disproportionately see them. Its selection bias on top of selection bias.

    Im not saying everyone here is like that… but there’s a strong minority of users who are here for those reasons and they usually are making a disproportionate amount of comments and posts because they had to for them to end up in that situation.






  • I specifically ask it to answer in pseudo code only, to use ASD-STE1000 standard technical english, and to cite its sources for documentation. I try to use it for throwing ideas at a wall or if I get stuck on a bug. I find I don’t like using AI as a direct help in programming over the long term. Its like having someone else play a video game for you. Its not yours, and once its out of their context its not theirs either.





  • They also don’t eat bananas primarily in the wild instead eating really abundant but nutritionally dilute foods like bamboo, thus the crazy efficient guts.

    They also don’t have myostatin which is a way for our bodies to reduce muscles when we can’t get enough to eat. We get skinny and weak while a gorilla just straight up dies. OTOH when a gorilla builds muscle they never lose it.

    Although that comes down to how we don’t eat the equivalent of grass. Even if a gorilla had myostatin if it couldn’t find enough bamboo shoots to eat they’re dead anyways.
