I wish they put up more requirements regarding train travel between densely populated areas.

It seems he has given up on it and was asked for his opinion.

Imo you don't need to fix the US entirely, should be doable to fix small areas you want to live in. It's nice if an entire city is well designed, but the greatest inpact is in the area you are 95% of your time in anyway, which is much smaller.

Public stocks is just gambling. Some people gambling on a potential win is a given.

Imo the world will be a better place when stocks is looked at the same way as online poker. Because right now it has this high aura of validity around it which I think it really does not deserve.

What people think will result in this potential superconductor has no real effect or predictive value on reality.

Imo that the private sector has the label of efficient is something only themselves have pushed and subsequently stuck as common knowledge. As far as I can see, the private sector is equally ridden with inefficiency.

Don't put the bar fully into your hand. Put it flat against the base of your fingers. This removes callous buildup which can become teared off while lifting. Do mixed grip, but only on sets that are so heavy that your hands are the weakest link. On 50kg for example, use normal grip. Over time your fingers will become stronger.

Capitalism is doing its thing, consolidation.
At least in this case, I don't think you can possibly do much worse than the current ownership aside from intentional self destruction, so Microsoft as owners can only be equally bad or better.

A high carbon tax would fit perfectly. Introduce it at the start of the system such that it directly affects those that pollute the most, and vice versa.

If you've ever played factorio you kinda understand them (capitalists).. The factory must grow!

Joking aside, it's absurd how everyone is just sucked into, we must all work 40 hour weeks and then trade and use all that value, even if it's random stuff that is soon going to the landfill anyway.

Yes? What is your point? Does not change that the fact of the stock markets response is just a facet of gambling.

I love a good indie game crowdfunder, but at this point Star Citizen is effectively a triple-A game. In turn, this raises the bar for what we expect it to look like and deliver

Interesting, in that I feel that indie games are in general better products than "triple-A" games, sometimes this is still valid if you include early access indie games..

It's the authoritarianism that makes these governments bad, not the type of economic system.

You need to ensure a good democracy, regardless of economic policy.

Super nitpick. Can we just use 1800 utc? Then everyone can convert to their zone directly. *signed me in a CEST zone.

You are two - CGP Grey us a good video about it.

So some big companies that deserve no pity will earn less. Will they be opposed to it, of course, but that does not change anything of what we should push for.

How hard it is to implement is an entirely different discussion though.

All good! 😊

Kinda pointless comment from me since its over , but I'd do it regardless. The solution is just to fast. 3 day fasts are surprisingly simple to do and makes you easily not poop.

No. The more efficient the public transport is, the more money will circulate to firms. So not doing it costs more.

It's not worded like that at least. It looks like he dares anyone that want to argue for that it is gambling to look at that link. But as you say, the link points to clear gambling practices. 🤷

Yes, betting a larger or smaller amount on something, and to what degree you are invested, both in terms of emotion and percentage of your wealth, does not change the fact that its still gambling.

But you now also have the additional disgusting allowed custom of that you can just buy up others work. You can be at a workplace, put all your energy into it, then a rich entity can come it and buy it all up and kick you out and/or burn it to the ground. What this entity is compromised of, a single person, many, or another corporation, is not necessarily smarter and just because it has a lot of wealth will not make better decisions.

I would say its the opposite. The larger an entity is, the more disjoint and the more dumb decisions are made. Working as a software consultant for both small and large corporations. The small dumb ones die out, the large dumb ones survive in spite of their choices, not because of it.

Authority bias is without awareness affecting any human. The more we recognize it, the more we can keep our ideas grounded.

The opposite of democratic. It's a gradient. The people of a nation either has equal influence on how the nation is run, you have something in between or a very small minority has all the power.

The extreme where everyone have equal influence (impossible in reality) is perfect democracy. The extreme where a single person has all the influence, is an perfect authoritarian. Then you draw rough lines at points where the democracy is as good as you can possibly get, a flawed democracy, authoritarianism light, etc, depending on how unequal the influence is between people.

Also, I am not the one who you originally replied to.
