How is it accessible when you're limiting your audience to people speaking your native language? Also, English is easier to understand than my native language, which lends itself to getting unnecessary convoluted. Especially when study

This is silly. I don't write in my native language because I want everyone to understand what I have to say. If you want to be part of the conversation, just learn English. It's really, really easy. I never even spend any effort o

Yes, you're on point. I once thought people's life where worth something because they are people, but I came to dispel this illusion. The illusion stems from our natural in-group preference, giving things that are similar to us a

Everyone can start a small business right now, what's your point?

They were doing okay before, but they cannot grow, since the increase in demand will not be sustained.

What I'm saying is that it would be self-destructive behavior to give people things for free. It is much better to let people starve in the streets, then to give them both food and housing for free. You'd completely destroy the en

I'm observing reality and reaching conclusions. But I'm not viewing things as fine grained as you are, but more fuzzy. A hundred bucks are basically nothing, but if I'm a doctor and have to decide whether to work for someone

Buying booze and drinking it isn't an investment.

"Scarcity is the limited availability of a commodity", emphasis on _limited_. Scarcity does not mean shortage. It means you do not have infinite of something.

It's right there in what you have written yourself. 31% is a finite number, that means scarcity. 16 million homes is a finite number, that means scarcity. In a world without scarcity you'd have infinite food and infinite houses. W

Actually, having more money means that your life is more valuable. Just like a sack full of gold is more valuable than a sack full of broken glass. It's just people get all emotional when applying the same concept to humans. Is it mora

I've been thinking about this and my conclusion is that paying me money for my time is a good way. If you really have a good reason, it should be worth for you to pay for my time. Price can be decided through bidding, if more people wa

Buying stuff doesn't facilitate growth. Look at all the toilet paper people buy recently. Where's your growth?

If you can't pay, you don't deserve to get things for free. What's so difficult about this concept? Maybe someone else is incentivized to pay for you. But if there isn't, you do not actually deserve anything costing mone

Yes, absolutely sure.

I'm buying toilet paper about once every five years. Not sure how others manage to go through the stuff so quickly. On the bright side, I bought some last year, so I'm covered for a few years.

Willingness to pay is a pretty good indicator of importance, I think. Where this falls apart is ability to pay. But that's life. If you can't pay, you won't get what you want, no matter how important it may be. Expecting othe

Not really, individuals may make mistakes, but it's nothing to the insanity a mass of people is capable of. (Source: Mass Psychology, by Gustave LeBon) Distributing wealth is self-destructive behavior. Generally, you want wealth in cap

At what percentage would you speak of broadly? 6M cases are 1.5%.

Anyone could die in a car crash, but that doesn't really get people worried. There's a million ways to die at any moment, but people just don't worry about it.

I'm thinking of this as a temporary hysteria. Nothing much you can do to reason with hysterical people. The only thing that sometimes works for hysteria is a good slap in the face.

This only works when you are strictly working with one machine that is your own, instead of many machines, that are not your own. Customizing every machine I touch is more hassle than to just master the tools that are already in place.

Can't argue with that. It's just easier to visualize a complete city with all the houses inside of that city than it is to remember a useless number. At least for me. Text is hard for me to remember, pictures aren't.

Not really. I think "two rooms to go", not "x windows to go". There's no point in counting or adding, so I don't bother. Also, I only clean my windows once a year, if that. There's an hilarious story about

I can visualize things in front of me. A hallucination would be a visualization that I can touch. I cannot touch my visualizations.

Maybe a more straightforward test: can you watch a movie you've seen again, but in your mind? I can. (But I have trouble to keep the timing straight and will fast forward unintentionally to the parts that were interesting. I'm als

Nobody has proven that it's not trainable, so I'd assume that it is. But what's a good training method? Maybe a visual hobby, like video gaming? I'm someone who is exceptionally good at visual things. For the apple, I ca

Beethoven is sound, so that's different from sight. Can you hear Beethoven's 5th in your mind? I'm a visual type, so I can't wrap my head around how one could think without pictures. How do you retrieve the information a
