FamilICO -- pegged to the net worth of the world's poor. Not sure I'd buy that coin.

  If BLM and the feminists are right, the coin is undervalued. What is the probability that they are right?

    As Google can’t find it, I’d say NaN percent. Even if the coin did exist economists do actually know how poor the poor are, and so would include racist and sexist pay policies in the coin price (assuming cryptocurrencies can even be tied like that); and even if they didn’t know that neither BLM nor feminists are claiming their pay turned out to be Monopoly money or chocolate coins. BLM started as a result of black people being treated like their lives didn’t matter, hence the name, not their poverty not mattering.

    Feminist here. I have a plan : we will make money by paying a significant percentage of western government officials in the new "poor coin".

      Interesting thing is feminism is also winning skirmishes but loosing the metagame. Unless having less children but with more disorders born in fractured families is the goal. Something to ponder.

        I'm not sure I understand. How is feminism leading to children with more disorders and fractured families?
        • InitialLastName 8y ago
          It's the classic "family values" propagandist's argument. As soon as you acknowledge that women aren't property, it's a slippery slope to children born late out of wedlock.

        I think you're mixing disparate phenomena to make a political point. There are places where feminism had a strong impact on culture. There are fractured families. There are families with fewer children (whether this is a good or a bad thing is debatable and a matter of perspective and opinion). But the places where the effect of feminism on the equality of opportunity, power, and so forth are most strongly expressed tend to be the ones with smaller, more stable families. Two of your phenomena anti-correlate. As for the prevalence of disorders, that's a pretty big bag, diagnostic criteria change, and diagnosis itself is iffy. I doubt anyone can make a very strong claim.

          > But the places where the effect of feminism on the equality of opportunity, power, and so forth are most strongly expressed tend to be the ones with smaller, more stable families. Yes, that's what winning skirmishes and losing the metagame looks like. If a meme's host population has a low fertility rate, it'll need to be very strong in recruiting. How strong is this particular meme in recruiting, and what's the delta?

          > As for the prevalence of disorders, that's a pretty big bag, diagnostic criteria change, and diagnosis itself is iffy. Would you mind explaining this one to me, please? Is Xuper trying to suggest that being a feminist makes it more likely that your children will have health disorders?

  But I would make options on that coin a mandatory part of the compensation package of leaders in both the public and private sector. It is all about finding the right sort of incentive. :-)
  • antishatter 8y ago
    Options are the right to buy not the mandate to buy. Thus the name "option". I don't know that I follow your point?
    • virgilp 8y ago
      If they aren't exercised, part of the compensation is nullified
