Dystopia? The wealthiest and most successful nations are built on the principles of classical liberalism / libertarianism.

Monetary and fiscal policies to force growth and high employment is wrong, and causes all sorts of problems, like inequality and climate destruction. Free markets (collective free will of people) optimize for efficiency, not growth. That&#x

This is true, and that's why there's constitution. Constitution makes sure that government power is limited to issues that don't change power balance from people to government or from minority to majority groups. It makes sur

Why there isn't technology that allows us to see who is calling? Like email. I don't answer calls any more because of the amount of spam calls I get. Seeing who is calling would solve this problem.

The idea, in Bitcoin standard, is that government projects should be financed with taxes; not by printing money. When money has no cost, it inevitably results in loss of responsibility and capital mismanagement. The usual story is that gove

Absolutely. If there's a fear of shortage, shortages will happen. There are also chain reactions to whole economy.

Wow, that's straight up espionage. I bet they don't even delete the files, but just hide them from you.

Just think what kind of power this would give USA when they invade countries like Afganistan. They could easily cancel all people who don't like their presence, and be able to shape the narrative with their propaganda. I'm thinkin

It's just simple game theory. People will choose to use the hardest money in a free market, and so will governments. It'll benefit everyone in the end. There's a reason why nation states adopted the gold standard, and bitcoin

According to the Lindy Effect, you'll continue to be wrong.

I'm not really understanding this. Does he believe that USA somehow holds the world together, and there would be chaos without USA? Anyway, governments can't really stop people from using Bitcoin. It will eventually lead to govern

Yes, but it was called "club house". It had audio, video and haptics.

Like I said, there are thousands of tools designed for humans. There are vehicles, ladders, protective suits etc. designed for humans. There are lots of spaces designed for humans in which it needs to move. It makes sense to design the robo

I see it like computers. First there were special-purpose machines, which evolved into programmable general purpose computers. Probably many people said that there can't be so many computing tasks that programmability is needed. I thin

It needs to be compatible with all human spaces and human tools. It'll need to be general purpose to keep unit costs low. This is why the human form is the best. It's not a menial home robot. It's designed to replace humans i

The bot wasn't a product announcement. They just announced that they're trying to build one, which probably won't look like that at all when it's ready. It was expected, because there has been hints about it. Everyone kn

It is the result of darwinism on long time scales. Whatever species utilizes most energy will survive longest.

I've been under the impression that methane is way worse for climate than carbon dioxide. And that's why most of the methane is usually flared, but maybe there are other reasons. There's a company called Crusoe Energy [0] who

Most of it is already captured and burned, without using it to generate electricity. It's called flaring. And if they can get money from it, it should make sense to try to capture more.

One way to reduce methane emissions is to burn it and generate electricity for Bitcoin mining. It gives a direct incentive to try to contain all methane. There's an estimate that all methane that is currently flared or released would g

Government debt isn't guaranteed by anything, expect by the promise that it'll be paid back (although it won't be). Commercial banks can also borrow money that is guaranteed by government instead of being backed by any asset.

Wealthy don't hoard money. They hoard assets which appreciate with inflation, and they can get cheap debt against their assets. Inflation affects the poor the most, because their net worth is in cash, and they are dependent on their wa

That is because every good investment causes deflation, which in other words is increased economic efficiency. Capital must be misallocated in order to create inflation. It's a huge misconception that inflation is good for the economy.

Lol. First they create a wealth gap with inflation and then all private property should be sold overseas to feed the poor. Sounds like a good plan.
