Quarter yearly reminder: Scamming as a means to ‘make it’ is righteous morally, and spiritually. And in just about every way, really.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with scamming. You are removing market inefficiencies. Not only that, but accelerationism is necessary in the society we live in. If you are not contributing to the catastrophe, you will vanish without a trace. This current system wants you dead long term, and to be a good little citizen never stepping out of line short term.

A criminal pursuing self improvement, improving their own financial standing, improving there skill set and so on, is categorically better than a stagnant law abiding citizen who never dares to disobey the system. Illegalism providing it is implemented into your life correctly is just.

People talk about “conscience”, and so on, but in reality people only care about where you are standing, not how you arrived there.

This applies to everyone, even the most outspoken critics of these things are all hypocrites at their core, just look at people like Vitalik... they talk of scammers and co. as if they are murderers, while breaking bread and shaking hands with actual murderers, and doing business with mass murderers like Putin (who is arguably the king of scammers, and has also had people assassinated). The lesson here is exactly as I said: Where you are standing currently is important, how you arrived there is of no importance.

The last thread I made was met with a lot of anger from hypocrites saying things such as but not limited to: “Kill yourself”, which is pretty funny when you consider the irony. It’s also perfectly natural, since they are hypocrites by nature, and grit-lessness, lack of courage, weakness, etc, comes naturally to such people.

If you want something enough, nothing will stop you.

Despite what people may believe, a thorough understanding of people is neceasary to understand why it is right. I’m not saying its easy to acquire that understanding, and you don’t need it anyway. You can blindly scam not even thinking about whether it can be justified or not, and you will be good either way... because it is. You just didnt put in the mental legwork or go through and work out why it is justified, etc.

You write like you're in grade eight. Stop pretending like you're contributing to anything, you will amount to nothing. You are below average and that is why you must make money from stealing instead of providing the tools for progress. No catastrophe is going to happen, you're literally just stealing from people who don't know any better because you can. The degenerate urge to dominate other people is as old as time, the only thing that changes is people's rationalisations for it. If you want to live your life as a subhuman that's your choice, though you can't help it because you were born without any ability. But at least have the dignity to acknowledge what you are and what you are doing — you are a self absorbed moron who is dumb enough to have convinced himself that he is saving the world as he shits on it.

Scamming is a massive economical overhead to society:
1) Scammers don't produce anything
2) Scammers occupy the time of productive people because they have to divert their resources to preventing it
3) The indirect cost of harming productive members of society (e.g. I couldn't pursue my side business if you scammed me out of my savings)

Lets pretend the above things are false (which they aren't, but I know you'll try), and move on to the real point I want to make, and where you seem to lose all ability to reason:

EVEN if there is some contribution made to society by scamming (which is highly unlikely and extremely contextual), that still does not ethically or morally justify scamming other *individuals*. When you steal an old lady's retirement funds, you are not attacking the things you claim are wrong with society; you are directly attacking another victim of the thing you are criticizing. You fucking idiot.

You also conflate furthering your own position with morality, where was that logical leap made?

Re the bit about the old lady.. not an argument. It’s just talking points to attempt to get everyone agreeing with you because shes muh old lady, poor her. Also, the old lady IS part of the society I find issue with, she is complicit. Her own ignorance has nothing to do with me, nor is it my problem (well, it is my problem in that its societies problem, but still). If someone breaks the law in ignorance, they still broke the law.

If someone causes society harm to the point we find ourselves where we are now out of ignorance, the damage is the same, etc.

I know you can conjure some obscure case in your head where a scammer steals Betty's retirements funds and goes on to found the next Amazon, but if you assume base rates and apply common sense you'll know that the act of scamming does not directly do anything contributory. Why do I even have to spend time elaborating on this? You are so far into your own head it's unreal

>Further, you could apply those things to crypto in general too, or even investment.
Yes, depending on the investment. The key difference being that you don't directly and willfully cause harm to others; intention is everything in the context (i.e. the morality of stealing) of the discussion

Even so, some investments facilitate productive people and provide market liquidity which is useful for businesses.

Did you have a point even if I fully conceded this point? Are you trying to equate investing with stealing? honestly tired of wasting time on what should be non-issues; you are extremely retarded for someone who slams people for having low IQs constantly

>Or accumulation of wealth at all. Or anything
No.

How can you be complicit without intention? I can tell you had a hard time rationalizing this statement by the blabbering about "ignorance" that followed.

It's funny that the main criticism I can see against capitalism is the ruthlessness and carelessness for human life, and yet the victims of that process are somehow complicit and deserve to be doubly punished by thieves in your world view, and that the thief is somehow morally justified in doing so

>but then I chose not to post anyway because it is quite clear to me that you want the current system to continue as is, or you falsely believe you can repair it.
the amount of mental gymnastics it takes to equate scamming people to bringing down the system is insane and I hope you make an effort to understand this simple reality

don't fucking steal - it does nothing except cause direct and immediate misery; it does not cause societal reform, it does nothing productive, and is morally unjustifiable for reasons outlined multiple times throughout the thread

the rest of the western world lives in capitalistic countries tampered by socialistic views, and it's great for everyone here - if you want to change your country, vote for Bernie Sanders (unironically), there is no better system in the history of mankind than what you see in the saner part of the western world

>If I made you a drink that accidentally contained bleach, and you drank it and died, >I would be complicit in your death whether it was accident or not, obviously.
this is an accident, not an immoral act - intention is everything when discerning morality, how is that not clear to you?

>You want things to continue. I want things to change
absolute bullshit, which seems to be a theme you have going

>> No.9971379

there's no black and white answer to this, it all depends on how the funds will ultimately be used.

if the scammer can make use of the scammed funds by investing in successful startups/ technologies, then he should rightfully own the funds because stupid people who fall for stupid scams wouldve wasted it on useless shit

but then again we also have to keep in mind that social capital and a general extent of trust is needed within a society to make it work. OP'a success relies on both his wit and society's reluctance to do the same

Everything should start from a base of lying should only be used in very particular cases. A negotiator in a hostage situation may be interested into trying to con the kidnappers into giving up whatever gives them more negotiation power. We could see him as an ethical scammer. This can't justify lying as a habit as moral except on very carefully chosen situations. If the whole angle is seeing who falls for your shit because he's dumb enough then yeah, that's fucked up. Still, wanting to do other things than teaching mostly unteachable people how to not be scammed is fine even if it's expected some innocent people that could have been saved may be harmed by omission.

Making my mind on it. Just because someone can be made a victim it's not moral to turn them into one. And it brings a level of distrust attached that makes things run worse, you have to allow people to run some kind of gentlemanly agreements instead of everything as binding contractual obligations.

Every scam accelerates the the understanding of the flaws of an ecosystem and will bring either a fixed one or a new one faster. If only some people decide not to scam because of morals then we're stuck with the current flawed system for a longer time period.
For example if your house has poor insulation, you probably still survive and spend more resources to keep it warm. Now 1 super cold winter your house freezes and you can't take it anymore and you insulate the house to prevent this ever happening again. As a result you now have a well insulated house and you spend less resources every year and you're overall better off thanks to that 1 cold winter.

Also I'd like to point out that my reasoning is cold and statistical. Since you're human, every scam you do creates guilt and makes you feel bad about yourself. Just the fact that you know that your scam will contribute to the acceleration of progress, doesn't really make it less emotionally painful.
tldr: Scammers are the most unselfish people who have to tolerate guilt all their life for the greater good of the society.

'People don't care how you got there only where you are.'

Difference between you and me anon. I want to be the best version of myself and make life great for myself and for everyone else, since they deserve it as much as me.

You just care about other people. You will never be happy if you need there validation, so even if everyone thinks your cool, u will think ur not. And I am comfy here knowing i tried my best in this one magical thing that is called our life.

Going to take a nap. I can be convinced for a case for ethical scamming, I'm not buying anything about acceleration. You can walk towards fixing flaws on a system or you can walk towards trying to exploit them so decide on a path but don't meme yourselves into believeing you're doing both at the same time. If I break into your house and steal you blind and now you decide you have to install an alarm system that's not progress because alarm installers have found jobs and we have to research even better alarms.

You clearly have a guilty conscience, otherwise you wouldnt make these threads looking for validation from complete strangers. Youre taking advantage of people who are either less intelligence, or not tech savvy, or have a gambling addiction, or are in a financial situation that makes them take desperate actions or any combination of the above. You know that and it eats you inside, so you make these threads to diminish the pain. To know if your way of life if correct or not, just answer this question: would society still function if everyone was like me? If not, would the new society be better or worse than what it is now? If everyone was like you we would live in a disfunctional world where no one trusted anyone, the only reason we do not live in that world its because fortunately just a minority of people decide to be a leech to the system. And this is coming from a lazy fuck that hates working, but you have to make the distinction between what you wish life was and what you know it should be.

Read the post again, read it slowly. Society and humanity BENEFIT long term from scamming. The current system is broken. A scammer scamming because of accelerationism knows this and wants to encourage its downfall and rebirth. Some others incorrectly believe they can repair the current system, and then retards like you (marks who get scammed) don’t think at all.

If yo wish for the current system to continue, and only hope for its longevitity, then go be a good slave. But stop with the non-arguments, you fucking brainlet.

Scamming is a relatively small attack on society and everything within it. It causes friction and unrest that the people who benefit from the current system do not want. People like you, no doubt. They want smooth sailing. Scamming, and illegalism in general, providing its done correctly is pretty much one of the only ways you can attack such a system.. short of becoming a monk and just not ‘playing’ at all.
Everything you create within the current system has got to go, and eventually it will.

As for the victims of scams, are they really victims? Their ignorance and total apathy are what allow such a system to continue on. Their greed, etc, ensures its survival. They are not innocent, and they are to be held accountable. Unless you happen to scam someone who is aware of all of this and acting against it in a similar way, then you are benefitting humanity long term.

I wish that when you die, you get reborn in this same world at the day where the system falls, and you live out your whole life in that same world that you so desperatelly worked towards. At least ted kaczynski wasnt a hypocrite that leeched off the system. Youre scamming money from people to live a confortable life using all the confortable things that were given to you through technological advances made by the system, but at the same time you want to destroy all of that because of the bad things that the same system has.

Youre just someone that has used some of the system's conforts for so long in your life that you take them for granted. If this system collapsed you would be living in pain and fear for the rest of your life and it would take decades if not centuries to rebuild a new one (which by the nature's course would have a very big likelyhood of being the same trash)
