Money is votes into the economy and what it shall produce. The more money you have, the larger vote you have. Taxes are the way the government takes controll over a fraction of the votes. Then the government can use this power to make good

Then let's bake it into a compromise, we add a wealth tax and decrease income tax with the same amount of money. Labour is what actually creates value in society, let's tax it less and ownership more.

I just want to be a bit pedantic here (but this is logic after all...), and point out that in point 1 above you are talking about syntactical completeness, and not semantical completeness, which is the kind of completes Gödel proves in his

I don't understand what you mean by this. Gödels two incompleteness theorems are about theories of natural numbers, so their models are infinite. I don't understand what you could mean by them applying to finite models. I stand by

> The key point of the incompleteness theorem is that it shows that (at least in first order logic, which is the logic in which the theorem holds) no set of axioms can ever pin down a single model. No, this was known before the incomplet

No. Godel's completeness theorem can not be understood without bringing in first order logic, because it is a statement of the expressitivity of the language(relative to its semantics). Other more expressive languages, like second orde

Why? Draw the line backwards, and in a couple of decades you are down at 0 IQ. That's clearly absurd, you can't draw any conclusions of IQ significantly before 1950 from how the line behaves after 1950.

That story is data governance. Corporate already have a data-agreement with MS, storing all their data there. Github copilot is covered by that, while a individual agreement with e.g. anthropic needs lawers involved.

It is my impression that when drinking age restrictions are introduced, drinking among the (now) underage population goes down. Not disappear, but goes down. My personal experience is also that 17 year olds in countries where the legal drin

Renewables is the only realistic path to energy independence. Today's global situation should show the absolute necessity of that, even if you dont give a sh*t about the environment. Had we done more 10 years ago we would have been bet

I guess you think this high marginal tax rate would hold for unrealized capital gains? Otherwise your conclusion don't really hold. Personally I prefer a wealth tax.

Funny story is that a very important reason why Norway ended up with the oil policies it did is a Iraq-born immigrant named Farouk Al-Kasim. He was a geologist with a Norwegian wife, moving to Norwegy since their kid had cerebral palsy. In

Note that it's usual that companies gets tax on surplus, not income. So we are already 'punishing' the efficient ones, we are just doing it in a relatively neutral way. In systems with progressive income tax, the total tax in

So let's make it illegal to keep the tokens more than e.g 6 months. We should not underestimate the power of the legal system to enforce freedom and anonymity. And on the flip side, it's hard to create a technical system which can

What's the actual effect you get out of that? Even half, 12 kW, would be an absolutte beast of heating (for a home), even with 'dumb' convection heating. With heat pumps 2-3 kW should really be enough.
